Evening

I decided to weigh myself today, mostly because tomorrow I'm going to a BBQ at my sister's and there is going to be cake and other treats so I'm not counting it as a diet day. Well I lost 3 more lbs this week :) yay! Total of 8! Woohoo. I'm going to keep this going, can't hurt right ? I'm suppose to up my net carbs 5 more grams a week until I get to 40 grams a week I think. Hmmmm. I hope I can continue with the added carbs and going to school and eating yucky dining hall food.

I started my period today which is a good excuse for the bad dieting day but really I wan't able to get anything Atkins friendly to eat today oh well except the salad. Tomorrow will be another bad day as I am going shopping with my sister and probably out to eat! Oh well. One good thing is my sis knows where I can get Atkins brand snacks and such so thats a bonus. I'm going to try to get through this week, I want to keep this going but it will be hard because I start college next week and classes, studying, and dining hall food may alter my plans! I will try my best!

Yesterday is not going to count, as I cheated a bit. I ended up feeling dizzy because I hadn't had time to eat before going out with my mom so she got me Wendy's chili which the Wendy's website says has 23 grams of carbs but doesn't mention fiber so it might be less. Then for dinner we ended up going to a 50's style diner and I had a vanilla milkshake - it was like heaven! I dunno how much longer I'll stay on the Atkins diet - I'm having trouble getting up in the morning and am feeling dizzy lately grrrr. Will see how it goes until Monday.

I have cheated a few times today unfortunately! I had a few swedish fish candies my mom bought which I shouldn't have, and I don't think I was suppost to have corn until after the 2 weeks induction passed. Also I haven't exercised today as my legs hurt from being on my feet all day cleaning motel rooms but I will do tomorrow morning. I don't think this diet will work and I'm worried I'm eating too much protein and not enough of something else. Pete was all worried about me as he heard on the radio of a girl on the Atkins diet having heart failure because she ate too much fatty foods and didn't get enough of something else (he wasn't sure what) :( So that scares me! I dunno I guess I'll see how it goes. I have been feeling tired probably from not having the instant gradification of carb energy. Grrrr oh well see how it goes!
