Grace and I made "Oopsie Bread" tonight, which is a no-carb "bread" made out of eggs and cream cheese. It turned out well, although Grace was a little too freaked out to eat much. I could definitely see it becoming a good base for a burger or BLT.

It was pretty labor-intensive to make, but fairly straightforward. Whip the whites until they have clean "peaks" and fold it into the yolk/cream cheese mixture. Honestly separating the eggs was probably the hardest part. The end-result is a pretty tasty, nearly bread-like muffin that is similar in shape to a flat hamburger bun. It definitely gives me an option to snack on that isn't just meat or cheese.

I'm back at 244 now, so the race to lose 7 pounds before June 15 is on. I'm not too worried about my chances because I have been still losing 2 or more pounds per week. In 5 weeks I should have no trouble losing somewhere between 7-10 as long as I don't cheat.

I did cheat and have a donut yesterday. I said in the beginning that my one "hall pass" was going to be donuts. If somebody brought in donuts to the office in the morning, I would allow myself to indulge. I want to lose weight, but I don't want to be miserable after all. Still, even at almost 50 carbs for just one donut, I was able to keep the rest of my meals low enough to end up with a total of around 80 carbs for the day. Not bad for a "cheat" day.

I did resist a cookie cake somebody brought to the office today. No easy feat, but I find that I don't really have much trouble resisting bad food anymore.
