A few days before this past Christmas there was a water main break in a pipe at the end of my driveway.  Since then the resulting hole large enough to swallow my car times two has been temporarily filled. What that really means is that the end of my driveway is several huge pot holes. I drive a Mustang.  Mustangs don’t off-road well.

So, the town is out there right now. They’ve already started digging. One of the guys comes to my door and asks if I need to get out of my driveway.  Uhm, they’ve already begun to dig. There’s a least a foot drop.  I didn’t really understand the point of him asking.  And, to answer the question, yes, I do need to go out.

I’m stuck. Oh well. I guess I’ll have to do absolutely NOTHING. Problem? I’m not tired today! Though I did have trouble falling asleep and then staying asleep. So, I overslept. I actually would have been out of here had I been up on time.

When I started Ultimate Diet 2.0 I was 139.5 lbs.  That was up 3.5lbs from the prior week. I’d been doing maintenance which turned out to be a bit over maintenance. I was at 2400 average daily kcals for last week thanks to two “cheat days”. One unplanned. It was more like a conscious out of control eating thing. Over the course of about two hours I ate half a box of some sweetened version of Total cereal.  I knew all the carbs would be with me on the scale the next day, and probably on Tuesday my weigh in day. I didn’t care.

It’s now what, Thursday, Total pigout was Sunday. I’ve been doing 1200 kcals for the past two days, a little below maintenance on Monday, kicked my ass hard at the gym and I now care.  I’m stuck. I’m still 139.5. My legs are KILLING me. Well, not killing but I haven’t been this sore and tight in a long time.
I’m almost thinking I won’t do the carb up. I don’t get this. How can I not be dropping water weight? I am a bit oh let’s say irregular. Been two days now. Or, maybe it’s PMS?  Hard to say. I have this nifty little IUD that makes my cycle irregular, or nonexistent, or well, at least really hard to track.  I’m really starting to get paranoid.  How do I not lose anything with no carbs? This actually shouldn’t surprise me given I only lost maybe 5 lbs the first two weeks I did South Beach and that was coming off Weight Watchers aka the High Fructose Corn Syrup Diet. (I say that because the food they pimp at the meetings is pumped full of the stuff)

So, I can’t eat. I can’t go anywhere. I’m supposed to be out of the gym today though I think I’m allowed to do cardio (I’ll have to “read the fucking book” again and check). Looks like rain, though I might be able to squeeze in some yard work. That might be useful in keeping my mind off of those ymmy OMG I sooo need to eat them M&Ms. Then later on I’ll probably have to escape to no carb no cal Norrath.
