Today started off like any other ordinary "weekend" type day. I woke up this morning around 8:00 thinking about what all I needed to accomplish today. Sunlight was streaking through the bedroom curtains telling me it was another crisp and beautiful winter day - no rain today. My 10 yo daughter was still in bed and the dogs were begging to go outside. We have 2 dogs, a collie and a peek-a-poo. DH let the dogs out and I did my normal morning ritual of running downstairs to weigh myself...

OK, I've always heard about how after the first few weeks of induction your energy not only comes back but will increase ...

I do know, though, that I'm feeling pretty good overall-particularly with the level of stress I'm managing currently, and I know I'm eating carb-friendly a good 90-95%...

Doing well and feeling good. Mental attitude still positive. No cravings to speak of. It's strange when I think about chocolate candy I don't crave it like I usually do. I did make the 1 minute chocolate cake and DH and I shared it. It really hit the spot. Had a little dab of Land 'O Lakes Sugar Free Whipped cream on it. Mmmmmm. Darn I just remembered I forgot to bring my lunch of leftovers to work this morning.
