Day 8 - still pretty exhausted, calories

Hello Everyone,

Today I got up, full of good intentions to eat a bit more and get some exercise in.

Well, I got the exercise in, but the eating was pretty pathetic - I only managed to pack in 875 calories today! what is the matter with me?

I rode into my office on my bike, the ride in was pretty good, but the ride back was very hard indeed.  There WAS a bit of a headwind that caused me a few problems, but by the time I reached home I was sweating profusely and pretty feeble.  I also found that after climbing a few stairs that my legs were ready to give out and I was puffing away. This continued throughout the evening.

I consulted my faithful orange book and the good doctor says that this is not uncommon in people who are losing weight just a little too fast.  Apparently a few ounces of nuts may sort the problem out.  It goes against the rules of induction - but as Dr Atkins says in his book, there is no reason to feel washed out and sickly, even for one day.

So I can have peanuts! hurray!!!  I love peanuts!
