I worked on my first Kickstarter and it got approved! It’s for the Special Edition Hardcover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer and the release of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster. I contacted my graphic designer about the Special Edition Hardcover of vol. 1: Archer—it’s going to be SO beautiful! The Kickstarter focuses on the Special Edition Hardcover, but it’ll also include vol. 7: Spinster so that it’ll sort of be like a launch day for vol. 7, too. A third special thing that’ll be in the Kickstarter is Special Edition Paperbacks of all the books in the series. They won’t be available in stores, just in the Kickstarter (and later, from my website, and also in my Patreon book box tiers if I decide to do them). The Kickstarter is not live yet, but you can follow it to be alerted when it has launched. (You may need to create a free Kickstarter account.) Follow Camy’s Kickstarter
Captain's Log, Stardate 08.13.2010
It seems the only way I can release my frustrations is by blogging about it, so lucky you, you get to hear all about it. (I’ll probably become less homicidal calm down in a week or two, so no worries about months of whining about this diet.)
I thought about carbs ALL DAY.
I had to be more deliberate about my cooking to find something both I and Captain Caffeine could eat. He’s a trooper, lovely man, so I settled on chicken vegetable soup. It wasn’t the tastiest soup I’ve made, unfortunately. (Next time I’m using the pressure cooker to make broth and then adding the chicken rather than throwing the raw chicken pieces in water in the crockpot for a few hours—the broth just wasn’t as flavorful as when I make broth with the pressure cooker.)
I wanted to go out and buy a donut.
Around dinnertime, I found I wasn’t that hungry. I don’t know if it was the new supplements making me feel fuller, or if I really wasn’t hungry, or if I was just so bored with the food choices that I didn’t want to eat. Regardless, I ate a bowl of soup rather fretfully and sat in my chair in a miserable lump of unhappiness, but not hungry enough to crave anything bad for me.
I suppose, all things considered, that’s better than shackling myself to a window to prevent myself from attacking a moldy butt of bread from last week.
Wonder of wonders, I found I was actually low on my calorie count. Actually, a little dangerously low. I’m not sure what to do about that. I mean, how great a habit would that be, to get used to eating high fat foods to make up my calorie count for the day? And later, when I’m not low on my calorie count, but I’m still used to the high fat foods? Aiyah. (That’s Asian for “oy vey.”)
Tomorrow we get a basket of veggies from our organic co-op, but I’ll also need to go shopping for some veggies I need for general detox (talked about that yesterday) and some other sources of protein. I’ve been avoiding cheese for some reason. I know, I know, a temporary mental aberration. I’ll buy some tomorrow.

Good luck!

Add a healthy salad to the soup for a more filling meal. Are you eating 5-6 times per day? I also discovered that when I eat more earlier in the day, I'm less likely to crave snacks or be hungry in the evening.
Finally, I exercise after dinner, which pretty much kills any desire to snack before bedtime. And the more consistently I exercise, the easier it is to follow my low carb routine. Not sure why, but I've found that to be true.

But Gina, are you going to be no carb forever? I totally could not do that!
