Well needless to say, I woke up this morning STARVING. First time in a long while I can remember even being hungry. After dropping daughter off at school, I ran to the grocery - got a salad for lunch, some pepperoni bites, and some Atkins shakes. I've never had them before, I'm a little leary of them. Label check shows no sugar alcohols, so I bought a box.

Not bad. I think I'm going to have to do shakes to suppliment when I just don't have time (or forget / don't care) to eat. I need to be ingesting, something every 3 or 4 hours, I figure. I'm really dissapointed that I haven't lost more, but it's my own fault. At least I feel so much better!

I cook when I can, stuff that I can heat up & nosh on. The biggest problem is that I won't eat leftover / reheated meats. Especially chicken They have to be in casseroles or whatever. So I can't just heat up a chicken breast. Blech.
