Hi all,

Patty, sounds like a fun day. And you went over what you think should be your carb count right now. So what? Here's the way you are going to eat for the rest of your life, not one day, or one week.

I think you made intelligent choices through out the day. It was a special day so you treated it in a special way. And now you are going to keep following the path you've marked out, and the pounds are going to drop away. A future without some special days would be a pretty gray place.

Gail, in spite of my brave words above, I'm like you. I'm sorta' afraid to leave induction. I mean, it is only the fourth week, and, very very slowly, it is working.

Gail, I never subtracted fiber from vegetables. I figured that would allow for any "hidden" carbs that might sneak in. Now, I am so bold, I don't worry about carbs in lettuce, broccoli, etc. Sigh. Still finding my way.
