Are you doing carb cycling? Those are pretty low, so I would assume Eric is gonna to some cycling. How has your mood been lately with the carbs being low??
How did the parties go this weekend?

Ahh yeah, I know!!! I have been a huge cranky pants!!! Poor Chris. I honestly don't know if I will be cycling carbs. I will have to wait and see. The party last night was terrible, I was tortured, soo hungry and so much wine! I was bored. I tried to stay away from food, but it was everywhere. I made it though, even thru the cookie dough ice cream cake. I am not sure this is the life for me, I mean I was suffering at a PARTY!!! NEXT weekend is another party.. ST PATRICK's DAY!! I hate beer though, so that is good. ;D ;D ;D Legs today!!

I really am a grumpy pants, that is for sure. I am not minding the cardio actually. It's not a bad as I had thought. I am thinking of taking a spinning class tonight, maybe. We'll see how I feel when I get home.
I have heard that spinning kicks your butt, big time!!! Might be great for your cardio!!!!!
Like, Beckie said, we all have bad days even while NOT dieting!!! Cut yourself some slack and hang in there you are doing beautifully!!!! ;D

I have heard that spinning is EXCELLENT cardio!!!! If you could not try it last night maybe try to give it a whirl this week or next. Could make your cardio not so bad. I hate cardio myself!
Like Beckie said, we all have bad days even without dieting!!!! You are doing beautifully!!!!! Hang in there!!!

Paying bills is a workout in it's self. Are you planning to take time off work before the comp? I know I would have to, there is no way I would be able to function politely on such low carbs for so long as well as get in work outs and extra cardio and keep the kids on track with all their activities.

LOL!! You aint kidding, I had to make 3 phone calls because of problems. It's all done though, related to the townhouse closing. Nope no time off before comp for me. I don't think so anyway. Who know how I will be when the time comes!!

The townhouse closing has taken forever-I'm sure you must be glad its FINALLY over!! Depending on what Eric gets you doing for peak week you may need to take the Thurs/Fri off before comp-just go by how you feel at the time.
