Black Friday Drama

Okay, I'm excited to hear about all of the Black Friday drama that everyone had. I guess the only real drama I got to be involved in was when my car lost power on Rt. 2 and I had to coast into JP Henry's parking lot. Bummer! I guess there was trash in the gas line or something. This car (Sonata) did this once before a couple of years ago and all I had to do was put a bottle of the gas line cleaner in it. Unfortunately I had to be at work at 4:30 a.m. to feed all of those Black Friday shoppers. I called bf and he hurried down and carted me to work and then came and got me at 8:30. Have a mentioned how much I love that man??? All in all I think that everyone was fairly courteous today, although there were a few that made me wonder why they had gotten out of bed. On second though, maybe they were the ones that hadn't gone to bed at all the previous night. Yeah, we'll chalk it up to that!

I've bombed...

Ugh! I've bombed miserably trying to do this low carb one day and high carb the next. I'm back to induction on Atkins. Maybe after I get some of this weight off I can try to do the Jay Robb plan. To me the lc one day and hc the next is like offering a shot glass of liquor to an alcoholic. I'm not able to control myself with the carbs. I guess I'm just carb-sensitive, if there is such a thing. I do, however, LOVE the Jay Robb high protein shake mix and I just had one for breakfast mixed with Kroger's lc vanilla yogurt. The shake mix is his dreamsicle. I put about 4 ounces of water and 4 ice cube in it and OMG! it was incredible! He has the best protein powder I've ever tasted. Needless to say I did not make my 10 lb. mini goal by November 7, but I'm not going to get discouraged, I'm still in for the 20 pound goal by December 7. I'll re-evaluate at that time and see how things are going. I seem to be holding fluids in my tissues a lot right now so I'm going to Mother Earth Foods to try and find some dandelion to take. It's supposed to be as good as lasix for getting rid of excess fluid. I'll let you know how that works out. Later!
