GlennM's Journal, 12 January 2010

The 'Atkins flu' from having chili the other night is abating, so I'm feeling better. I'm avoiding going barhopping so I can keep the carbs down too. I bought some wine earlier this month but won't drink it until I reach my goal weight, I'm buying stuff for my liquor cabinet every month, maybe two major liquor items even if I'm not drinking them now. I got the book yesterday for one of the book clubs at the library. I may have time to join another for regular fiction. The book is a light read for the medieval book club, I probably will start it tonight. I think eventually I will meet people there. I'm hoping to meet a girlfriend. I had Crystal lite at a neighbor's apartment the other night it is way better than the WalMart brand, but of course has huge amounts of aspartame but tastes great. I suppose it is no worse than diet soda, which is probably worse and is a lot more of a hassle to carry home... Water is better to drink I suppose...

I miss my booze - one of the hardest things about this diet.. I've got something better than crystal lite - 4C Totally Light 2 Go with splenda. no calories, no fat and absolutly no carbs and it tastes pretty good, I'd even add vodka to the lemonade one. Bought it at a regular grocery store. Really helps when water just isn't cutting it.

Thanks I'll try it - I've gotten used to Splenda, it did cause headaches initially with me now it doesn't any longer, I think my body just needed time to get used to it... I'm not much of a drinker but if a woman comes over I will drink and want to have it here so I can make any drink possible :)

I like the 4C Totally Light 2 Go too. Super Walmart carries it. :)

I have to say, I have always been a water drinker but I miss having a drink or two on the weekend. I have three teens and a hubby that travels all week, by friday I am looking for a cocktail..........I guess it will be selzer for me.

I'll try WalMart for the 4C Totally Light 2 Go, the Super WalMarts are far away and no one will take me there. (Fifteen miles). There is a regular WalMart in my town and it does carry like six aisles of food, hopefully they'll have it - probably they will as they have Crystal Light and their brand... As far as the alchol is concerned months back somebody wrote about it and I think vodka is fairly low carb. Remember there is diet Coke for drinks too... I have rum, gin, vodka, plenty of wine and am going to stock up on all sorts of alcohol so I have it for when I reach my goal weight and for social drinking...
