Who wants to judge my day

[Mickey527]

Today was one of the worst days of my life.
THey wrote a song about me. "I'm just a Girl Who Can't say NO"
My niece's 5th birthday is tomorrow. I offered to make the cake so that is not anyone's fault but mine.
I got up late for work, had no time for Bfst so I figured I would skip it and grab something for lunch. My friend felt sorry for me and he brought me 2 Egg McMuffins without the Muffin.
I finished work today at noon and had tons of shopping to do. Dad asked me to buy something for Sara, and since I hadn't bought the thing I planned to get I figured it wouldn't be too much trouble.
Well the scooter I wanted was sold out in 3 stores and this was all she wanted for her birthday. Then to TDS for some Princess dolls from Dad. Then finally got to some of my errands. By 2 pm I am STARVING. The only thing I see is Mc'D's I got a double cheeseburger without the bread and toppings.
I was on my 4th quart of water so I was doing ok in the liquids area.
Running, Running, Errands, Errands, it is now 6 pm and starving again. I had so much to do and no time to eat, so I grabbed some Pepperoni in Walmart, the already sliced kind, 4 servings, 1 carb per serving. I ate it while driving and before I knew it the whole package was gone.
Came home and baked 2 cake mixes and made 48 cookies. I decorated them all with Princesses because only the best for Sara.
I licked one spoon of batter out of habit but when I realized what I had done I stopped. It is VERY hard.
I grabbed some cheese and had it next to me when I was frosting the cake so I could have something in my mouth that would keep me from the frosting bowl.
MY menu today consisted of:
2 eggs, ham, and 2 pieces of cheese.
2 burgers and 2 pieces of cheese
4 servings of pepperoni.
water, water water water I feel like a fish. and some sharp cheese. Would Dr Atkins be rolling in his grave? Peggie

No judging here, only {{HUGS}} and although I'm not doing Atkins, I think you did great considering all the stress you had! Don't you just hate it when you have your mind set on a certain gift and can't find it! Drives me nuts!!

Me, on the other hand regardless of the weight loss plan I was on would have probably said "heck with it" (or something a little stronger, not appropriate for these boards ) and dove into the cookies.

Nope, I'd say you done good! You get two thumbs up from me. (For whatever that's worth! Lol) Hope your niece likes the gifts and the cake turned out beautiful! There's always Christmas for the scooter.

Stop beating yourself up over an off day (it doesn't look too off to me though)!!

Are you past induction? Did you do your ketostix test to make sure that you haven't fallen out of ketosis??

Move forward...... begin anew- and your total intake didn't look all that bad, considering. {{{HUGS}}} and jump back on the wagon again!!!

Peggi - you did fine! It would be silly of any of us to pass judgement since we have all "fallen" at one time or another. There's always tomorrow - and when you get to Sara's party-( I know you are her favorite aunt who takes her to Disney) - just look and then make a decision as to what you can eat! You can do it!!!

Okay newbie to atkins here, so correct me if I am wrong, but aside from the cake batter incident what was wrong with this day?

 

[Mickey527]

Thanks everyone, I didn't think my dad was that bad, but I just wanted to have someone who is been at this longer tell me I was ok. Sometimes we all need a little pat on the head.
I went to the party and had a great time, 15 5 year old girls sure can make some loud noise. I had 3 boys so I never had to deal with the screaching.
I at my eggs and bacon for Bfst, had 2 quarts of water before the party, brought myself 2 quarts of Crystal Light to drink at the party and tried hard to resist all the junk food lying around.
They had PIZZA and cake. Peetha, I love Peetha (I always quote that line from "Multiplicity" whenever the pizza man delivers)
I had 2 pieces of topping. I took the cheese off the crust and gave that to the dog. So I ate cheese, peperoni and some sauce. It was so good.
And when the cake came out I ate some. My piece was so thin I could have read a book through it, and it was about 4 inches square. Probably about 1/8th of a normal serving. And I had read on these boards from someone who knows, that birthday cake has no calories.
I was out of ketosis last night which I expected, but when I weighed myself today I lost 1 lb. I know it is not alot, but it is better than gaining.
So I walked 5 miles today to make up for it, and I don't feel bad at all. Peggie

Sounds like you had a plan and did very well. Good for you. Just get right back on induction and you will be in ketosis again very soon.
