Hi Stephen,
Pasta isn't part of Atkins, no. But, hey, don't be so hard on yourself.
I don't like to even use the word "cheat". It has the conontation that we've been "bad"...or done something wrong. I just prefer to think of it as hitting a little bump in the road. You just keep going...keep your carbs a bit lower the next day to help your body "catch up"...and get right back on track.
You're doing so well! Don't let this discouage you in the least!
Have a great day,

Lesle
