Hi guys! I'm back from the mountains and 2 pounds lighter!!!!Yippee!!!! I guess I just needed to get away and not obsess so much! I didn't do strict Atkins..but still managed to lose a few! Here's how it went:

I actually did well.....my aunt and I drove up ourselves on Friday (the hubby, uncle and kids left earlier) so we decided to take advantage of the peace and quiet. We stopped at a seafood buffet. I started with a salad and then had the broiled varieties of seafood. I did have some SF coconut creme pie for dessert. it wasn't too bad.

Sat: scrambled eggs with cheese for breakfast, lunch was a salad and a big fat cheeseburger with no bun. We went to the fair at night and against my better judgement--I split a cheesesteak with my hubby. I did have some carb cutter along--took that. When we got back to the cabin--it was time to make Smores. I did have one.

Sun: woke up late; everyone gobbled all the breakfast food up! There was one piece of sausage left and a donut. I ate the sausage and half the donut---which was almost sickening until I finished! We stopped at the mall on the way home and ate at Arbys. No salads there so I ate a market fresh sandwich--yes, this time I did eat the bread. We went through Wendy's drive-thru to get the kids Frosty's--I passed. It's amazing; months ago I wouldn't have dreamed of passing on anything! Last night I had a cheesedog for supper!

So, as you can see--althought I managed to keep my carbs pretty low; definately not below 20---I did manage to lose anyway. The biggest thing for me was that I wasn't constantly starving! What a great feeling!

Today I'm back to the 20 carbs or below. We leave for the beach in a little less than 3 weeks; I'm hoping to shed atleast another 10 pounds until then. My MIL and I are going shopping tomorrow--gotta get those summer bargains. We're taking the kids to Chuck E. Cheese; guess I'll have the salad bar!!!

Well, I hate to rush off; but at last check I had like 250 e-mails. Mostly junk; I'm sure! I'll check in later---hope everyone is doing great!!

Good morning, everyone.

Sean, welcome. I think you can channel all your negativity into a workout and it'll help you loose weight, plus it'll probably make you feel better. Just a suggestion.

I had a bad weekend, food wise. My DH is out of town and that's always when I binge. I had a pizza that I munched on Friday and Saturday and then yesterday I ate a burger abd fries. YUCK!!!! I also drank beer...

But I am still at my goal weight, and this is my heaviest time of the month, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, hope you are all having a good day.

I'M BAAAAAAACCCCKKKKK!

I've missed you guys! I'm so sorry to have been out of touch since last week. I'm not sure what happened - on Thursday night, I posted to the current summer challenge thread (I think it was 58 or 59). I basically vented that I'd done terrible all week, but was leaving for vacation Friday morning & wasn't going to deal with dieting for a few days. Anyway, I know my post worked - I SAW it there on the thread after I submitted it. Friday morning, getting ready to leave for New Hampshire, I checked the thread one last time. My post wasn't there!

I wanted to quickly type a new post & say goodbye to everyone, but hubby was on the bike yelling for me to get my butt in gear, so I had to leave. I still don't know what happened to Thursday night's post, though.

So anyway, I'm sorry for disappearing for so long, but I really didn't mean to!

I didn't dare weigh myself this morning. Ate a lot on vacation (and loved every minute of it), and pre-AF caused me to eat everything in sight all last week. So I'm gonna wait a few days before I check the scales.

How is everyone else doing? I've only breezed through some of the posts - haven't had time to read up on everything yet. But I'd like to say welcome to Sean, our newbie, and I'd like to say goodbye to Skyborn... I'm so sorry you're leaving, I've really enjoyed reading your posts. I wish you the best & hope you decide to return soon!

Hi and (((((Hugs))))) to AP, DP, Whirl, Snoopy, Jen, JoJo, Roni, Sinnrah, SM, Lotus, Mystic, Donuts, Shel, Darci, Froggie, Jlaffey, godwilling, JenJen and anyone else I may have missed! It's good to be back!

I will have to catch up more later. Gotta get some work done for now. Have a great day!
