Low Carb Plateau

I've maintained 30lbs lost for a couple of weeks now, and I'v heard of people on Atkins hitting a plateau and only one thing seems to work to jump start the diet back up again, and that's what I like to call, "carbing out". So this is exactly what I did, it started on Sunday night, I did good for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but it was the dessert that started it all, we were celebrating my future step son's birthday and we ordered the volcano dessert from Rainforest Cafe, well, I couldn't resist, at first telling myself that I should allow myself to cheat on special occasions. It weighed on my head the rest of the night and the next day. At lunch, I was a good girl and grilled chicken. It was when dinner rolled around that I decided why not just carb out, I had already cheated, and after reading about people carbing out and jump starting their diet again, I knew it was the right choice. So we are sitting at Logan's Roadhouse and I can order anything on the menu, I ordered what I would ordinarily order before low carb, chicken strips, mashed potatoes with country gravy, macaroni and cheese and had more rolls than I care to admit. I was almost shaking ordering this, I didn't even get a salad, I mean I went all out. I felt guilty the entire time, and to my surprise, I didn't even finish half of it. I went to the gym after that and did some cardio on the treadmill & on the bike. That was yesterday, today is a rainy day but I made my way to Chick Fil A for a grilled chicken sandwich with a side salad and an unsweet tea. My tummy has been rumbling all day, so so loudly, louder than this thunder but nothing drastic has really happened, I'm nervous but I think I'm gonna carb out again tonight and then go back to my strict diet tomorrow. I can't wait to see how much weight I lose in the next two weeks after jump starting this diet again... that is if it works.... =/

My oh so bad horrible fattening dinner last night... NOT PROUD AT ALL!!!!!

 My dessert from Sunday night and my step son, I only had a fraction of this volcano, I'm talking like 3 spoons.

Days 102-119

Dinner- Logan's Roadhouse- Salad w/ ranch, grilled chicken, I gave the vegetable skewer to my boyfriend, I'm not a big fan of certain veggies. And I have to be honest, I had half of 1 roll... based on their nutrional facts, I consumed about 13 carbs in the piece that I had. I have to say, I'm so over fries, but it looks like a buttery roll is still a guilty pleasure... MUST STOP!!! I didn't even take a picture of the roll because I felt to bad about it. =/
