10:33 a.m. - 01/20/2006 Yesterday I was so hungry and there is NOTHING in the vending machines that is carbless except peanuts. Now peanuts, I believe, although only 9 carbs and only 5 count because you subtract the 4g of fiber, are the reason my last Atkins diet failed. They have 290 calories and 230 of them are fat. This is why I think you still have to watch calories even if you're on Atkins. Theoretically I should have been able to eat 4 bags a day if I had no other carbs and I did eat all 4 bags a day and restricted my other carbs. I thought I found some wonderful weigh to lose weight. Eggs morning, meat afternoon and peanuts for snack. I gained ten pounds. The 4 tiny 1.75 oz. bag of peanuts alone were 104 grams of fat and 920 calories. So although I was following the letter of the law I failed. No matter what diet you are on you can't eat all you want. But yeah, anyways I was so hungry and I didn't want to break my body out of ketosis so I ate the peanuts. Two bags. Somebody shoot me *cry* But I went to the gym and worked off one bag later that night so I don't feel too guilty. Also I found a string cheese that is made of low fat mozzarella and only 50 calories a stick and only one carb. It's my new snack and pretty tasty and since they are individually wrapped they are easy to throw into the cooler and pack. ~Diane Have fun! I'm going to the gym and a movie with someone who isn't Stew. I need a break!

10:09 a.m. - 01/20/2006 I was excited because a cute girl asked me to gym it with her. Not so much excited about the cute thing as I am having someone to talk to and motivate me while there. For example, I really wanted to do 10 minutes on each. But insead of feeling like a dolt, I worked that much harder. It's hard to quit when people are watching, you know? There was another woman there who was nice enough and said, "everyone has 30 minutes a day to exercise!" So that's going to be my philosphy. 30 minutes at least 4 times a week -- be it in the gym or a walk with HB at home. I feel so good this morning. My foot hardly hurts. My shoulders and elbows less so too. Kathy -- I LOVED the curry soup. HB didn't care for it though. I realized I bought Cream of Coconut and not Coconut Milk -- although it has less fat and cals than milk, it's sweeter I think. So I had to add extra water. But it was YUMMY and what I will have for lunch tomorrow. Dinner will be a liquid one -- going out with friends for the first time in forever! Happy Friday! TGIF! ~Jenn
