Day 5 on BPIF: Laughing in the face of discouragement

So yesterday I was up a few pounds, today I was about halfway back down.  I know the pitfalls of checking your weight every day, but for the sake of the experiment I want to see exactly how different foods affect me at different points in the process.  The hard part, though, has been getting back on the low-carb.  I haven't slipped, but I have definitely struggled more than I did at the first.  I had a very difficult time yesterday getting through the morning on my BP coffee alone.  I ran home at noon for an extra cup but was still ready to eat my arm off by 2:00 and ended up breaking my fast a little earlier than I wanted to, but I had a sensible meal of baked salmon and broccoli, followed by yogurt around 6:00, and then three eggs for my last meal at about 8:30.  Managed to get to sleep (eventually) without eating anything extra, just had my detox tea before bed.  This morning before work I ran to the store and picked up a travel mug so I could take a big cup of BP coffee to work with me to sip on throughout the morning instead of trying to guzzle it all down before leaving the house or having to leave work to re-up.  Nevertheless as soon as it was gone I was ready to EAT.  I came home around 2:30 and had some canned tuna and haven't been hungry since (it is now almost 6:00 - not bad for me).  I will definitely not be doing a carb re-feed anytime before Thursday, and when I do it will definitely be sweet potatoes, not corn chips!  Here's hoping I can get my weight back down to pre-refeed before then!
