every saturday morning i make a special breakfast for the fam - pancakes generally, and i eat eggs . today, i had my eggs, and also one pancake. i know that i will have meatballs and leftover egg salad for lunch, and crustless quiche for dinner, so that was my carb count for the day.

it was sooo nice to just know i was going to have one pancake (and enjoy it!!!!!!!!), as usually i smell them and suffer. i do love my egg salad though: mashed hb eggs, mayo, a little dill...

I am just starting this life-style change. I have tried the just plain "eatting right" along with exercise and have seen no results. My mother, who used to be overweight, looks fabulous after starting the low-carb diet. She claims to have no cravings. Although I am in a healthy weight range at 143lbs for 5'5..I don't feel healthy. I am hoping to look and feel better. I am a little weary of figuring out exactly what foods are good and which ones are bad. I know of the obvious. Pasta, bread,...

Man, it's been a long time but so comforting to get an email from Maggie giving me my password and then to come in here and see so many familiar names. It feels like coming home again.

ahhhh, mothers group....a time to (apparently) eat a hell of a lot of crap! i feel so sugared out, that i actually appreciate it! (makes me happy to know i will not feel this way again any time soon!) I went along knowing this would be a cheat morning, so brought it on myself knowingly, not just stuffing my face in private. now, back on to plan!!!!

the rest of my husband's chocolate is safe!

ps - i think i've lost a kg...time will tell

alright, ALRIGHT! so i had 2 squares of dark choc last night...my husband ate half the block

but no other cheats - AND i was really tired and asked my husb if he would go get us dinner...he sugg pizza, but i suggested roast chicken. i won! he's always happy to spend less money (chicken is cheaper), so i had chick and cottage cheese for dinner (lots of veggies at lunch!). was pretty wasted from the day i must say.

went to the gym this morning at 6am...
