Erika

Yup it’s true, I survived my first full month, 100% on plan with my low carb diet. Here are the January results…

Weight: -18lbs  ~ Bust: -2″ ~ Waist: -4″ ~ Hips: -4.5″ ~ Body Fat% -3%

A full month is a huge deal for me, as it has been a very long time since I was able to claim that amount of time.

I had to laugh at myself at work lastnight. After serving dessert to a family, I stood in the kitchen desperate to lick the spatula I cut their cake with. A seven layer chocolate cake….one to die for!

I stood there trying to calculate how many carbs would be in that little taste, no worries I literally ran it back to the dishwasher. As I walked back thru the kitchen, laughing out loud at my self, my boss stopped me and asked what was so funny.

I told him about my pathetic, yet short lived emotional affair with the spatula. Now to say that this man is stingy with compliments of any sort is a gigantic understatement, but to my utter shock he said….”Don’t do it Erika, you really are starting to look good.”

‘Starting’ to look good? I told you he has little experience with sweet words.

He clarified, and said that everyone can see a difference in me and that he was proud of me. He also added that ‘this is why I don’t say anything to a woman about weight loss, it always comes out wrong.’

What he said really jazzed me, and the evening went very well until some drunk and my boss nearly got into a fist fight. Things started to calm down when my boss left the room, after telling the drunk to leave, but then he turned his attention to my co-manager, Jim….and it all flared up again.

Finally, this drunk picked up a beer bottle and advanced on Jim. At that point I stepped in between the two of them. the drunk retreated and eventually left.

I don’t believe that I was ever in any real danger, it was obvious to me that this guy was not willing to hurt me to get to Jim…Well at least that’s what I was counting on, and I was right.

I found out later that 3 of the male patrons were getting ready to jump if this guy put his hands on me, what a crazy night!

We are in the middle of one hell of an ice storm here, the kids have a 2hr delay…and I am supposed to be at work in 45 min, to receive all the beer orders. The roads are a mess, so I am assuming that they will be running late too.

I’m off to brave the cold and go scrape the 400 layers of ice off the car.
