Day 21

Weight (Wii Fit): Just over 147 lbs.
Weight (bathroom scale): 144.4 lbs

Well, today was my last day carb-free. Three weeks. I can't believe I did it. I'm very glad it's over.
I'll probably talk more about the journey and things I learned...but not today. Tomorrow perhaps. Right now I have a headache, I still have to make 30 little pies and blog. All while listening to Dave banging a bunch of hookers in GTA IV.
They should have named it GTA: Giving Little Boys Boners Because It's All About Tits Tits Tits.


1 Women's One-A-Day Multi-vitamin
1 500mg Sunkist Vitamin C tablet

*note* In my sleep-late stupour, I idiotically started taking my vitamins and drinking water before I did my weigh in on the bathroom scale. So, that number might be off a bit.



1:15pm
1 chicken breast - 0g
1 tbsp soy sauce - 1g

*note* Uh, ate too late today. No workout today. At first I was going to, but in the long run, having my rest day be Sunday will be easier than Monday, ultimately.


4:20pm
1 scoop chocolate fudge protein powder - 1g

*note* Ugh. I'm so glad to be done with these shakes. Dave and I went grocery shopping today. We bought things for tomorrow and for the party on Thursday. I wanted to make Chocolate pie for tomorrow, but god dammit they were out of pie shells on account of it being Thanksgiving. I = depressed. Like just about every other trip to the grocery store, we got into an argument. Dave is VERY dominant in the kitchen. VERY. Don't get my wrong, he's an excellent cook. But anyone who might be good as well; Ooooo, it's like a competition or something. Or like he believes that there can only be ONE person who is good in the kitchen. So when I come up and want to make something, he asks sly questions (Do you really need all those walnuts?), or says things like, "You know what you could do.../You know what I would do...You know what you should do next time..." and it gets frustrating. I bake, he cooks. That's why I'm not the one who burnt the white chocolate when I was making Christmas bark. When I actually know what I'm doing, he has to poke his head in. That was the argument.



8:15pm
1 chicken breast - 0g

*note* Dave and I made another trip to a different grocery store in hopes of getting pie shells. no luck. They were sold out there as well. BUT I DID find a package of thirty MINI pie shells. So instead of making one big pie, I'm going to make thirty small ones. How cool is THAT? So we had no plans for supper, so Dave and I bought a pre-rotissery chicken. 0g of carbs accoring to the label. I had one skinless chicken breast. Well, most of it was skinless. It sure was tasty though.



10:00pm
1 vanilla Atkins Advantage shake - 2g

*note* Yeah, I know this meal was way early, but that's okay. I don't think I'll be hungry the rest of the night. If I am, I'll have some turkey bacon or a Baby Bel.

I suppose I SHOULD admit that I did cheat a bit this evening. After I made the chocolate part of the pie, I had Dave taste and check it (so I didn't have to). He said it was good but a little heavy on the vanilla extract. Well, you say that to me and I gotta know. So, I took the littlest taste to see for myself.
And I think he's full of crap.

Dave made his famous broccoli salad. Broccoli, cauliflower, bacon bits, a bit of red onion and his secret sauce (I think he should have added mushrooms to the salad, but I don't want to tell hime what to do). It's VERY yummy.
Tomorrow's Thanksgiving potluck is going to be so great!!

54oz, but barely.


Until tomorrow...debating whether or not to actually have cereal in the morning/afternoon.
