Atkins - Days 7, 8, & 9

Report on Friday: still feel about the same; kinda tired and nauseas in the afternoon. I think eating the apple does help, though. Friday night we had company for supper. I "cheated" a little because Dean put raspberries in the salad and I didn't pick them out. But the biggest challenge was NOT eating any of the dessert. I actually amazed myself with my self-control - I did not eat Chocolate Chunk Buttercream Bars, I did not eat Belgian Fruit (chocolate covered). Yeah! me.

Report on Saturday: I worked all day and we had a BBQ. I sampled the new burgers which do contain wheat (oh well) and I also ate some pork with wheat. It's so hard to find pure meat in "convenience" foods. Other than that, I did great.

Sunday. Father's Day. (Happy Father's Day to all the great dads out there, by the way!) I planned to cheat. I knew we'd be going out to eat and so I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted. So don't even ask. The good news is that I weighed myself this morning and I've lost 5 pounds in the past 6 days. I just hope I don't gain it all back the minute this diet is over!
