SSSSSsssshhhhh don't speak too loudly please!!! if I could muster the energy to chuckle I would but me head and tummy are still recovering from yesterday... which brings me to a salient point!

ALCOHOL...

Beloved the world over and especially us Irish.. but I had a REALLY good lesson yesterday in how ya can lose your tolerance to it once you've been away from it for a bit - what ya used to take in your stride now sends ya on your ear! Went to the brothers house yesterday for a bar-b-que he knows about the atkins so that was great (Sea Bass and salad).


Says he: Davy will ya have an oul beer.

Says I: Jaysus no I won't. Go away ya heathen I'm being good and anyway I might be driving - 'Sarah - am I driving'?

Says She: No yer not... (thereby getting herself off the hook for drinking - Women!!! clever animals!)

Says I: I'll just have a diet coke with a dribble of brandy in it (just to add some flavour like)

Says I [later on]: Ah shure another won't do any harm

~ Do ya know when ya get something really really wrong?~

Something happened, amid the laughter and chat I lost all sense of reason and drank a good quarter bottle of the stuff... darn coke makes the stuff too nice to drink and darn brain was too foggy to notice. And ohhhh did I pay! its been years since I've been this bad - I know... self inflicted, I should have known, me own fault..but just be aware, if you are off the stuff, how only a lil bit can make ya do stoopid things.. (was 3 hours late for work! this morning!) chuckles... never never ever again!

On top of that... I went into labour on saturday.. well okay it wasn't quite labour but close(maybe it was a male version of TOM!)... I took a laxathingy friday night and ohhh my giddy aunt the cramps on saturday morning.. nuff said...

Nett result of the weekend.. me own version of the fat flush.. Sunday was showing the start of a third week of plateau... this morning I was a pound lighter... would I recommend it though!! ohh I'd shake me head if the room wasn't spinning...

And yes.. even though I was hung over and probably close to physical death this morning... what did I do?? chuckles I still weighed in!!!!! (instinct!)

Am off for the lay down the tapping of the keyboard is too loud!

I've only been there once . . . it was an afternoon office Christmas party -- really bad timing!!! Was too far gone to go to dinner with my husband and Mom. That SPINNING is the absolute worst!!! Once was enough!! And Davey, that's why my recommendation is to have a single drink . . . frequently!! :D Meanwhile, I'm just cracking up at this being your "own version of the fat flush" -- oh, your poor body!!! Treat it kindly this week!!

Hee Hee Hee....Never say never, Davy! At least you had a good time, right???? That Sarah is one smart lady :) Male version of TOM...sounds awful. Sea Bass and salad.....yummy! Sounds like you had a wonderful day with your family, so today you can get back on the ole straight and narrow! And, the ice cream cake, it's chocolate and vanilla ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate crunchy thingys formed in the shape of a cake.....and it's heavenly!

Well, take it as a lesson learned. It is actually a really good sign that you are sensitive to alcohol again. You'll have to learn a new limit, though. I usually stick to just one drink. ;) Drink lemon water, it helps detox really fast. It works even better if it is hot.

Dav I'm so happy to be home and reading about your atkins adventures.The bbq sounds like fun- actually everything you do written with your irish brogue sounds more fun than here. More power to ya- Feel better soon.

Dehydration can be a good thing sometimes, no, I didn't mean that. Well, me and you were in the same boat this morning as I overdid it with diet coke and whiskey yesterday. I agree about the tolerance and I also think the lack of bread in our diet doesn't help either. Nothing to "soak up" the alcohol. I ended up drinking too much and not eating enough anyway, was down a whole 1.6 lbs this morning but I know that's due to lack of water in my bod!

This must have been one of those weekends-- I overdid it on Saturday night, but thankfully, not so much that I had any painful reminders in the morning! Sorry to hear about the hangover, but it will go away. At least you learned a valuable lesson!

I know you are trying to keep up with Sarah's numbers, BUT your weekend plan does NOT sound like the way to go. there is a country & western song "What was I thinking" maybe you have heard it?? Hope you can raise your head a little higher tomorrow.
