Why not start a new unwinding ritual? For example, a nice soak in the tub.
Since you are in a hotel, you might want to take advantage of the spa and exercise rooms many hotels have. Have a swim, do a couple of miles on the exercise bike or on the treadmill.
Exercise has plenty of benefits in addition to using calories. It releases endorphins. Endorphins are brain chemicals that act the same way alcohol and recreational drugs do. Exercise decreases stress, enhances your ability to sleep/relax.
Remember Atkins is a lifestyle change----and that means your entire lifestyle. Break the old habits that contributes to your weight and your poor health and adopt new habits that support your weight loss efforts and your improved health.
