Yawnies.

Although I slept in yesterday, I was feeling rather tired around midnight, and decided to get some extra shuteye. I fell asleep no problem, but woke up at 7:30 am, over an hour earlier than I had planned. Oh well *shrug* at least it wasn't 4:00 am.

So, the first day of induction went well. Technically we've been cheating since one is supposed to have cream in the coffee rather than milk, but our cream we bought on friday turned out to be bad. I walked the two blocks in the rain yesterday to exchange it, only to discover that the new container of cream was ALSO bad. So, milk it was.

Even given that bit of cheating, I figure I only totaled about 15 g of carbs yesterday, so I was actually UNDER the limit. Maybe today I won't be quite so cautious.

And now, I'm off to read the comics!

Whoops! Blackout!

We just had a 10-minute power failure there. If you suddenly noticed that images weren't being served to this or _sps_'s journal, that would be why. Hydro said it won't be officially fixed until 9:00 pm, so we may lose power again. Just So you all know.

Long Day.

Today seems to have dragged on forever. I haven't been able to get up any energy at all. I thought going for a walk down by the lake would help pick up my energy levels. Nope. It did just the opposite. I got home and was completely wiped for the next 3 or 4 hours. I sure hope this is just one of those pre-ketosis things the books warn you might encounter during the first 5 days of Atkins.

Anyway, I'm now drinking a last cup of tea for the day (which I just calculated put me 2 g over my 20 g carb limit for the day. Oops. Thats what happens when you end up having to use milk instead of cream. Oh well, these two weeks are supposed to be a learning experience. I'll try to do better tomorrow. If I can get up the energy to go to the store and buy cream, that would be very good. While there I could get pickles. I've been craving pickles today, and I'm even allowed to eat them, but we don't happen to have any. Darn.

Oh, I also got a call from SF today, for the first time in ages. She's been taking classes again, and then she got sick. She's also planning on going out of town in 6 weeks, but I'm sort-of hoping that there will be some opportunity in these 6 weeks to introduce her to the denizsarikaya and the nancyrihakova. The azrhey and the _sps_ have already met her, but the last meeting was some time ago. Apparantly the money problems I'm having NOW, she had last year, and she didn't feel much like seeing folks then. Lets hope that has changed.
