Day 9

I know, I know, I'm not supposed to weigh myself except on Tuesdays, but I had to take a peek. I'm down to 185.6! Wayne didn't weigh himself this morning before he left for work, but I think he will when he gets home.

Let me review my "rules" to see if I followed them all:

• Eat at least my minimum protein (34g/meal): ALMOST got this... missed it by a few grams for breakfast.
  
• Limit my carbs to less than 20g ECC: Today was 11g
  
• Cut out the fruit and grains for the time being: Done
  
• Only eat veggies that are on the Atkins-approved list: Just had lettuce and tomato
  
• Keep carbs to no more than 10g (ECC or Net) per meal: Yep!
  
• Eat enough fat to make me feel full: Definitely did this! I had lunch at about noon and wasn't hungry for a long time
  
• Heavy cream and cheese only for dairy: All I had was cheese
  
• Drink 8+ glasses of water: Got it!

Today I went back to the gym. Did 10 minutes on the bike and about 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Not as much as I should have, but I was up too late last night so I was a bit pooped. It didn't help that Claire woke me up at 5:50am looking for Wayne! I took a 90 minute nap when I got home from the gym, and felt a lot better.

Tomorrow I'm going walking with my moms group at the mall, and then going to the movies. I'm going to have to pack some lunch because the movie starts right around lunch time and won't be over until almost 1pm. They don't have a whole lot that I can eat at the movie theater, and I doubt Claire will last long enough without some food! There are still some hardboiled eggs in the fridge, so I'll probably take those and some cheese, and maybe some lunch meat.
