Well I'm back on my roller coaster. I had lost down to 227 eating more food, but in just four days my weight increased to 235, today it is back down to 232 again.

There isn't much I can do about it right now. Until tomorrow (payday) I can't easily increase calories and still keep them low carb, we just don't have that much protein in the house at the moment.

Finding something I can eat at all, without totally going against the guidelines of the diet is difficult right now. I know I didn't eat enough calories yesterday or the day before.

I think however that I have validated the concept that eating more calories increased my metabolic rate. Two days ago I was SO hungry, it was like I just couldn't get enough food. I'm not usually that hungry, so I think I must have been responding to increased metabolism. Yesterday it was easier to eat less, (but that probably isn't good. I probably slowed myself down again).

Anyway we have five new baby kittens. Three are black and white, one is tortoishell calico, and one is beige. I watched the beige one be born and it was odd, he was totally enclosed in his water bag when he came out. Looked a little like those vitamins that come in a gel capsule.

Couldn't tell at first that he was beige like our Tweaky, I thought (when he was wet) that he might be a little orange kitten. Nope, looks just like his daddy. I raised his daddy from a homeless abandoned kitten that didn't have its eyes open, so it is nice to have one to remind me of him when he was small.

- Thanks Sarah, you're right, eggs don't cost much. Problem is I just can't stomach that many eggs! Deviled are ok, but it really is hard for me to eat very many eggs. (NT) -- Sherry, 09:15:59 05/16/02 Thu
  - Egg Salad is another cheap way to eat a bunch of eggs- with some mayo, mustard and dill mixed up and then wrapped in lettuce and/or ham slices, it is a cheap way to get several lunches.. .:) (NT) -- Tierra, 11:36:42 05/16/02 Thu
