Of course, the title of today's blog entry says it all. Last night, I (rather unexpectedly) was offered an opportunity to finish a rare and wonderful bottle of my favorite alcohol brand, Jameson's. Irresistable (to me) since this bottle of 12-year old Reserve cannot be purchased in the US.

One thing, as they say, led to another. I ended up eating a lot of food, very late at night, finishing up with a very off-plan bowl of cereal and almond milk. Weight-wise, I paid the price. But also, it triggered something else - now that I'm not Slow-Carbing, I just let it go a little today, and when I was offered cookies and brownies and coffee after lunch, I just said, yes, didn't even make an attempt at self-control.

And then, I went to the supermarket, and bought the one think I have missed most while slow-carbing: cheese. Cottage chese, montrego, and some wonderful sharp cheddar.

                                   

Weight-Loss on the Slow-Carb Diet (SCD)

Weight since starting the Slow-Carb Diet on Jan 1, 2011. The first 5 days were estimated. The dotted red line is the 6-day moving average. Meaningful progress seems to have ended after 3/26. The chart now has an end-date of 5/28.
