Down to 172.5 today from 174 on the 23rd.

The weekend went by quietly and peacefully and I was quite easily able to stay focused on low-carbing. I was doing quite a bit of reading (Still in the Carbohydrate Addict's Book) although I am doing Atkins and that kept me encouraged. Also learning how to play Eucre. We got a new DVD Recorder and saw some great movies. Made a batch of cookies today to share with company tonight to go with coffee and tea. Didn't even lick the bowl although the cookie dough made my mouth water. I feel so much calmer this past week. Have had a few very late nights, but I've also had some great sleeps - better than in a very long time. Something has made my mouth feel very odd the last couple of days. Thought it might be the Ozone which they add to the Nestle water? Or it could be withdrawl of some kind from some meds., or from even the slightest bit of Splenda? Anyway, today I didn't have any of that. Oh yes, the only other thing I had lately that I thought might have done it (made that metallic smooth feeling in my mouth) was the Flax Seed Oil which has reached its expiry date this week. Don't know. It has been strange anyway. Well, it's late 12:30 a.m. Will try to sleep. Forgot to add that my coffee with cream and just a tiny bit of maple syrup or honey has kept me going until close to noon. Then I've been having bacon and eggs or sausage and eggs with green pepper, onion and salsa. My other meal (s) have consisted of mostly salad with tuna or grated cheese and a few sunflower seeds, chopped almonds and pumpkin seeds. Not much else. Oh yes- celery and cream cheese and then a bit of smoked ham rolled up in a thin slice of Havarti cheese. Just keep forgetting about the water. Got to do better in that department. Also reading quite a few posts, but still not sure what to write about in the forums. Still in Ketosis. Don't have a clue if this post is going to the right place!
