Past couple of days have been very busy. Unexpected trip to doctor with daughter plus the birthday stuff had me off work all day yesterday instead of just leaving early. I had to take a step back and stop obsessing about my weight. I felt I was getting too hung up on it. I have noticed that my stomach feels smaller and leaner and I like that feeling. I am paying attention to my body and still doing an eating program/plan and exercising but putting back into my relaxed perspective. That my not make sense but I go overboard with my weight loss stuff to where it becomes more of a compulsion than a program for good health.
Anyway since I had my carb up I noticed how my moods fluctuated and how my body reacted. I am not sure if the moods were related because other things factor into moods. Next high carb day I am going to stick with the lower glycemic stuff. I don't have much time to post today because I am trying to make up for lost time yesterday at work. I feel very relaxed today and not hungry at all. My temptation is to skip meals but I am going to make sure I eat every four hours like I am supposed to. Steady blood sugar levels are important.
Still incorporating principles into my permanent eating program. That's what I feel like I do every time I do a new program. I take new principles and add them into my way of eating. I don't do any one program forever - I use it to learn and adjust my eating.

What you said in your last paragraph is EXACTLY how I see trying new dietary ideas!! I incorporate what works and go from there...I am not a "stay on someone else's program forever" kind of person...I customize what works for me. And I think that's smart, by the way! We are smart. ;-)
But where is that darn "Crack" book? I can't wait for it!!! ;-)
Hope things have calmed down & you got to enjoy your daughter's birthday. Love that leaner feeling! I *know* all those pushups you are doing are making your stomach leaner. It takes a lot of ab strength to do pushpus.
I felt that way after my carb up day, too. Today I had more protein wtih my carb meals, and felt much more even.
Glad you enjoyed the PB!
