Morning all,

I was thinking that today's weigh in was going to be a complete disaster... Thursday and Friday were totally off plan eating (allowed in Maintenance, but freaking scary as heck) However Thursday was lots of drinking, well friday was too.

Thursday was an outright binge, while my carbs weren't over 150 it still was a scare, but still drank on was off plan on friday.

Saturday, put myself down to induction levels... Sunday night... about 48 hours after the whole deal, I think I got the Atkins flu as my body started the switch over. However it could have just been a reaction.

Anyhow day three back on VLC, I am going to do this till Thursday and then pull myself back to my CCLM to maintain my weight.

Anyhow hit the scales and I am down over last week... go figure... I have been talking to my trainer, and he thinks that toning is fine, but suggested that I might look to reduce my goal to 175 and 34 jeans. Not sure if I am going to do that, I am not going to obsess with it. Today back to my weightlifting, and my cardio.

Hmmmm ... that's quite a jump in one week. I wonder if it's the sandwiches, made with bread, that I ate Sat. & Sun for lunch at the stamp show, or if it's the protein bars I made that I've been treating like dessert, or maybe it's the Thanksgiving Dinner we had last night where I ate the stuffing and mashed sweet potatoes as well as the pumpkin spice cake for dessert!?! Oh well, back to normal starting tomorrow and I'll not sin too badly tonight either although I'm making a turkey dinner with stuffing and I'll eat some of everything.

Lisa - Ruhl's calculator provides a min protein level, but in the notes mentions it's ok to reduce fat and increase protein some. I'm exceeding the min levels now that I'm lighter and in 'maintenance'. My prefered fat level seems to be about 55-60% of total calories...
