Well-I am not going to change my stats for a bit to see if this holds true and the downward trek continues here--but going to Joan and Bob's has really seemed to get me back on the ball. Before Joansville--242---- Weighed this morning--238. Anyway--I am hoping that it keeps heading downward. Now a lot of this could be water so.

TGIF--

A start to another day. I was thinking this morning about needing to eat lower carb and remember back when I first started Atkins I looked at the number of carbs I was eating daily and it calculated out to nearly 450 per day. Now I know I am eating way under that now--then I wonder why am I still not taking the pounds off. Guess I am just a maintainer.

Checked on the weight yesterday and the 4 pounds I lost after Joanville is right back on. Water weight--I can go up and down 5 lbs in a day. Very frustrating at times. Weight or no weight--I refuse to go on one of those blasted starvation diets. Just not worth it to me anyway. Got to be more to life than a piece of lettuce and I do like lettuce but stuff has to go with it.

Ok--Need to get a move on. Today is cleaning out the bathroom closets. Either gonna have happy or sick critters in the cesspool by nightfall.

Hugs--Happy Friday!!
