HORRIBLE DAY BUT I'LL BE ACCOUNTABLE.......
B: 1 egg plus 1/4 cup Egg Beaters with mushroom and LF mozzarella cheese omelet cooked in butter
S: Atkins shake
L: WW yogurt with 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
S: (not sure what happened here but came back from water aerobics and ate everything in sight)
6 saltines with SF jelly
2 graham crackers with butter
2 WW string cheese
banana with dab of peanut butter on every bite
2 oz. sharp cheddar
D: (out to eat)
cheeseburger with swiss and mushrooms
coleslaw
S: handful almonds
WW ice cream bar
Too many points and calories and even worse....out of control
OK....so I think I know what happened....got on the scale this morning and it said I'd gained a pound since Monday morning when I've been within my points for 3 days. Evil scale...should have handled it differently, I know.
Tomorrow, tomorrow......
Exercise: 1 hour of water aerobics

I kind of did that same thing yesterday - snapped a bit after my bike ride! I can see now writing this out that i ate too little in the daytime.
Just get back on that horse, right?
My yesterday:
45 min wog
1 c cereal + 1/2 c nf milk
L: 1 large chicken breast + carrots + spinach + dressing
1 hour bike ride in big hills
Supper: 1.5 c rice + 2 chinese pork chops + 1.5 c bok choy/onions/mushrooms
Shortly after supper: 2 pieces italian bread toast w/butter + 1 c nf milk; pause, then ate 2 oatmeal cookies.

Every once in a while, I do the same. I truly think it's the body telling you something.
I have switched off Atkins for the month, attempting to see what that does for me. I am eating 1400/1500 most days with one day to 1900 and one day I don't count calories and will eat anywhere from 2000-2500 calories. Frankly, I'm not concerned with the calories because there are days I work out for 2-4 hours and that hunger overload is surely related....
For me, it's been working. I lost 4.5 lbs last week and kept it off all weekend. Meantime, I note it all in Fitday and don't let myself feel guilty for it. Even the Biggest Loser contestants have a day of anything they want....
I'm still trying to figure out what's going on. I "needed" Atkins to get to 260 an now it seems traditional means are working again. Go figure.

Glad that appears to be working for you! With your dedication to exercise, I would think you'd see results no matter what you did...lol. (Wouldn't it be great if that's all you needed, huh?). I wish I could exercise more (my knee only allows the water aerobics), but when I'm faithful with that I notice a difference too.
Hope this new plan works for you, Jerz....keep us informed.
