Well I am bummed out! At 152 now for over a week. I think I have too many "set points"!!!! I am also getting real tired of cooking all the time. I really don't mind the cooking part it cleaning all the utensils. I have tried to find a fresh turkey breast to roast for a week now, no luck. I guess they grind all of them into turkey burger. I have looked at Thriftway, IGA, our local Kroger chain Dillons, and WalMart Superstore. I might be able to find a frozen turkey breast. ...

Or, as Nero Wolfe used to say, "Pfui!"

I waited a week to weigh, was up a full pound, weighed again this morning, was up another 4. This tells me that I'm in my SpongeBob mode, retaining water. I always do this when I've eaten prepared brisket, either from the grocery store or one of the local bbq spots. It never fails. I've always been this way, since my pregnancies.

Starting out the first week of February at 152 that is down 6 lb. since Jan 2, 2008.

If I still feel hungry in the evening I have a protein shake, the mix having 1 gram carb and using 1/4 cup half n half cut with water to make one cup.

I've been obsessing over the scales. Weighing every day, being discouraged by the up-and-down, up-and-down movement (enough to cause motion sickness!) of the scales. Seeing a lb go, then return.

I started on the original Atkins plan on January 4, so it's been just a bit over 3 weeks, and as of Sunday I've lost 3 1/4 lbs. At first I was just kind of peeved at not seeing consistent losses, but looking at it again, losing this is actually about a lb a week, a very reasonable loss, nice...

I am pleased with myself today. I did a better job of taking care of me than I sometimes do.

Nothing special. Just being a little less driven, I guess.

I've been overbooked with work for a while now. Good long while, actually. And the last couple of weeks, I've really been feeling the stress.

Now, I've been working for myself for a long time...Eight years, matter of fact. So I should have some idea of how to manage it by now. You'd think, at least. But when...
