It's a new year

I have been on the Atkins diet for a little over a year and have lost 3/4 of the weight I want to lose. The last of the weight will come off this year!

I was featured in the April issue of CarbLite Magazine on pages 36-37. http://www.carblitemag.com Check it out! You won't be disappointed.

Today for breakfast I had a chocolate flax muffin and 3 pieces of bacon.
The bacon I eat is Hormel Microwave Ready bacon. My sister calls it miracle food! I love it because it is quick and there is no mess to clean up.

Here is the recipe I used for the flax muffins:
3 cups Bob's Redmill flaxseed meal
1 cup The Vitamin Shoppe bodybuilding Whey Enhanced Protein Vanilla Flavor
1/3 cup Hershey's unsweetened cocoa
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Spice Islands vanilla extract

In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. In another large bowl, mix the wet ingredients together. Mix all the ingredients together, then in a muffin paper lined muffin tin, put in 1/4 cup helpings. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

The flax will give the muffins a nutty flavor. I eat them topped with cream cheese or peanut butter.
