Today, after work, I went grocery shopping. I purchased everything I need to start induction for atkins. I am going to start induction tomorrow. The last two weeks I've followed a low car, much lower sugar, intake menu. I didn't lose a ton of weight but I do feel better just giving up much of the junk foods I had been eating. So I figure the Atkin's induction will be that much better. Most of my sugar cravings have decreased already. I plan of setting a menu plan up each night for the next day. That way I'll have lunch ready and not be temped to go out and eat. So here goes. I weighed in at 185 today. My goal weight is 140. I have a lot of muscle so 140 looks almost too low for me. But that's my goal.

Saturday 011009
Breakfast 2 eggs/2 slices bacon and 1 slice American cheese.
Lunch: Salad with chicken and cube of cheese shredded.
Dinner Roast, 2 cups of greens (2tbsp)dressing.

Hit the gym at 7 a.m.

So far so good today. I posted my eating history under atkins. I have a real issue with sugars. Three weeks now without any junk foods. I wish I had found this place back then. But I'm glad I'm here n ow.

UGH, I've been sick with bronchitis. I've not eaten badly, but I've not eaten well either. Mostly just not eating. I've actually lost a couple lbs. But things are on the upswing. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back to the gym.

Ugh. Finally back on my feet. The joys of working with a Doctor. Still coughing my lungs off but back to work and feverless! I did okay with the diet while sick. In fact I was not even hungry. I have lost a total of 15 lbs but I'm sure it's more because of not eating. Will see what the next week brings now that I'm back to my regular routine. Just didn't have a desire to eat. Oh well. Too bad I can' t be that way normally, LOL. I think 10 lbs is actual loss from starting low carb. What I did eat over the last week was low carb, not sugar. But still not enough so not a natural weight loss. :(

Glad you're feeling better, Kelly. Bronchitis is rough. I've never had it, but I've had to put up with my husband when he had it. LOL!

WTG on the 15 lbs, no matter how they came off! Just get back into your eating gradually, increasing your food intake so as not to shock your system. In fact, since you weren't eating much for a few days, don't be surprised if you gain back a bit when you start eating more food. It won't be the end of the world, it will just be your body adjusting to the increase in calories.

Take care, enjoy the rest of your week.
