I followed alot of them however we didn't expect it as bad as it was....food wise.

We only lost some roof shingles and 5 days of electricity and never lost water & hot water (gas water heater). Needless to say, everyone was coming over to shower and hang out and we were feeding everyone which was great that we had enough food to do that but the low carb supplies didn't hold out.

The stores FINALLY got their shelves fully restocked Wed. I think, I was there Tues and they were about 50% reloaded.

So, I wound up having to start over yet again after such a good start a couple of weeks ago.

Thats okay though....back on track now, feeling great (a little hungry but great) and determined to make it work this time!!!

Still need to take some before pics! Will try to get on that this weekend!

OH YEA - and I bought the NEW book! ]]> denileigh http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/denileigh/304-not-letting-ike-get-me-down.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/denileigh/238-off-good-start.html Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:31:38 GMT Well, here I am at the beginning of day 8th and down 3.2lbs! whoot! Here's to the scale this morning.

I don't know about ya'll but I swear I can feel it coming off. As I am not new to the diet I know that there are periods of stalls - at least for me. I've gone as long as 3 weeks before a visit from the woosh fairy but then 6lbs would disappear over night....I know the trick is to keep the faith and measure. Too bad that knowing that doesn't make it any easier through the stall zone!

I did good over the weekend except with my water. I get busy and forget to drink. It was my daughter's 19th birthday though and I avoided cake & ice-cream so GO ME! *giggle*

The inlaws were also here and everything I cooked, I made low-carb...so who knows when they will be back. JUST KIDDING!

I made some recipes from this site:
Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Recipes

I AM LOVING THAT SITE! We had Mexican Hamburger Casserole, a cauliflower breakfast cassrole that I can't find at the moment and I made some stuffed Bell Peppers without rice...YUM!!!

I didn't get any before pics done though...I need to do that for the same reason I need to blog as much as possible....for some reason, putting it in print helps me stay focused...ESPECIALLY a pic even though I don't really want to look at it right now.

Okay - back to the grindstone.

*hugs all - stay strong!* ]]> denileigh http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/denileigh/238-off-good-start.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/denileigh/228-first-blog-post.html Fri, 05 Sep 2008 15:13:19 GMT Just testing! :oha: Just testing! :oha: ]]> denileigh http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/denileigh/228-first-blog-post.html
