Hi everyone!!! I hope you're all doing good (and not just with the WOE). I personally am very glad to be alive.

I went to Portland (250 miles from where I live) for a concert with my friends on Saturday. Half an hour into the road trip the car caught on fire. This was in a remote, but well-travelled area with no call boxes. I was grabbing our stuff out of the trunk, and trying to get past the car when the first explosion occurred. Luckily, I and my friends were unhurt.

It took us about 5 minutes to get someone to stop, and another 25 minutes for the fire department to get there. By the time the fire was out, the car was destroyed (glass melted, tires melted, all metal warped). After finally managing to get ahold of someone to get a ride home, we got in another car and still went to the concert. The concert was incredible. Even from the nosebleed seats, Pink is an unbelievable performer.

Due to shock, stress, lack of food options, poor planning, etc., I made very, very poor food choices on Sunday. I ate the continental breakfast at the hotel, and within an hour I was feeling very dizzy and tired. I slept most of the way home.

Monday I had very bad carb hangover. I stuck to plan, and I was starting to feel better after dinner. I ran out to do an errand, and MY car died. Guess it's a good thing that my car wasn't our second choice for the trip.

I've been on plan since Monday, so hopefully this won't have set me back too far. I'm still not going to weigh in again until Saturday, so I'll find out then.

Wow Katie, that is major scary. Sounds like you earned (and maybe needed) those extra carbs. Stress like that doesn't come every day. I'm sure the one day cheat didn't cause too much damage. I've had times when it actually helped. (NT) -- Sherry, 19:03:36 06/26/02 Wed
