Well, I am back from my first business trip since LCing, and I had no problem staying on Atkins. The toughest part was the last night when everyone ordered huge desserts except me. When it was over, I was glad I had the will power to not order anything else. I think in retrospect, it would have been better if I had ordered a decaff coffee with cream or something so I didn't look so strange. Anybody have suggestions on how to handle this scenerio?

The only bad thing is that I got sick the last couple of days. I think it was a previous cold resurfacing, and the lack of sleep and long working hours all contributed. By the end of the week I ended up losing 5 pounds, but most of that was due to fluids lost because of this respitory virus.

All in all, I am pleased with how I handled the trip, and I can't wait for the next one in two weeks.
