...yesterday I never did go for the walk to get lettuce nor did I make the stroganoff.I got a call from the school that my 8y/o DD fell off the playground equipment and bumped her head.So I get there and we spend a few hours in Emergency and they did xrays and she is all right.Phew.

So I made the kids KD,my DH leftover lasagna and I had a sausage and cheese omelet.

I got to bed late,was up at my usual 2:45am to get DH's stuff ready for work and make coffee and told myself for sure that i was going back to bed after he left but I didn't.I opted to clean up the mess...

200 big ones, exactly! I don't know what to say, or how to feel. I've never been this heavy, I'm sick to my stomach. How could I let this happen?

Total side note: Yay me! I've been having trouble with my undereye concealer and found the best so far--Bobbi Brown. Love it! I had been noticing that my previous concealer would get very cakey and icky. I'm so happy with my purchase so far and hope I don't break out.

L: tuna, green salad, ff ranch, almonds
S: beef jerky, cucumbers, almonds
D: egg scramble made with evoo
S: 1/2 zone bar

So, took the last two days off and started back up today. I'm doing the original Atkins 72 this time. Pretty much the same, only less carbs in the beginning.

Feeling pretty crappy, dizzy, sinus congestion and TOM, but not too hungry!
I just have to remember how good I felt once I got all the crap(chemicals and sugar)out of my suystem, I am holding out for the better.
