I am so sick and tired of being a huge blimp, so I am really actually doing something about it this time. No joking around now.
I know I have mentioned it before, but this time is totally different.
I'm actually entering my second week of the Atkins Induction. It has been surprisingly easy to choose the right foods since I love meat, veggies, eggs, and of course bacon :) LOL. I will admit, though, the first few days were hell. I was exhausted, and I'm sure the fact that I kicked my diet soda addiction at the same time didn't help at all.
All I did was check out their website for the plan info and an acceptable foods list. That means I am staying under 20 net carbs per day. I also drink tons of water and an herbal laxative tea in the morning. The tea isn't part of the plan, but it really helps because I have never been..... uh..... regular haha. Once I lose an acceptable amount I'll move out of the the induction phase and I'll be able to add more stuff to my acceptable foods list and keep losing, just at a slower pace.
Soooo... I bet you're all dying to know..... How much have I lost so far???
In one week I have lost a total of 6.2 pounds!
I didn't measure myself before I started, so who knows how many inches that is. To be honest I think I look exactly the same. It's weird too because 6 pounds on a 5'3'' frame is a lot.
I am pretty proud of myself for losing that amount though. I'm still 38 pounds away from my goal weight of 150, so I'll just keep chugging along.
