Atkins is a special diet in that you know when you are losing weight, because you are going to the bathroom. No excretion, no weight loss. And when there is no excretion, your abdomen pooches out. Until you poop, or urinate. And then the pooch goes away.

So the part you don’t want to know about. Yesterday I wrote that I had gained 10 pounds. Yesterday at work my hands would not get warm. I wrote about that here. So this morning when I weighed in, I was surprised to find that I had lost 7 pounds. Segue to today.

I was working in the Deli today and got that familiar grumbling in my stomach that told me that there was some movement that had better be paid attention to. Squeezing my butt cheeks together as I scrambled to the restroom I had the feeling that I just wasn’t going to make it. But I did. And boy was I glad. Saying that I was relieved would just be too much of a bad pun.

But for the next 4 minutes, yes I timed it. I was relieved. Very relieved. So I am extremely anxious to see what has happened weight wise.

Namaste.
