May. 19th, 2005 07:35 amso, the carb withdrawal is over, and my energy is great... all within a week! up until last week, i'd be so tired mid-afternoon, i'd take a nap when i got home from work just to make it through the evening. the last few days, i haven't needed anything because i've felt so good.
temptation is everywhere, and of course it's hard to resist. last night D and i decided to make dinner together, and we went to the local gourmet store to get some stuff... right when we walked in, the bakery case was teeming with huge funky cakes and florentine cookies, and i had to just walk away. not worth it. dinner was really good though -- burgers (no bun for me) topped with boursin cheese, and a yummy salad of mesclun, orange peppers, avocado, walnuts, goat cheese and a homemade orange vinaigrette.
i still really, REALLY want to weigh myself. my fear is that i'm going to wait 2 months, and then step on the scale, and i'll only have lost 2 pounds. i feel like if i weigh myself this weekend (which would be one week in), if i'm down a couple i'll be really motivated (and i'll get rid of the scale, i promise), and if i'm the same or up, i'll know that i have to adjust something so i can be successful over the next couple of months. i dunno.
