Oh wow!! I wasn't expecting to get so many responses, but I did! Hurrah! Welcome everyone! I'm so glad that we are all here on this journey together. =)

Let me tell you a little story, one that actually happened yesterday....

I had planned on starting Atkin's yesterday because I could not wait any longer to do it. I was that excited about doing it again and losing weight. Well, I work in the Medical Field and you never know what is going to happen in a day, never, SInce I am doing prehospital care as an EMT and all. Well, yesterday, I come to work with my huge jug of water and my prepared food, all ready to rock and roll, when I find out that I will be working off campus instead of on campus like I usually do. On Campus is what I do. I work at this hospital where we transport patients back and forth from one building to the main building for procedures and stuff. And off campus, well, that's just driving all over the place and all.

So, I had no cooler or anything with me, and I left my food in the fridge at work. And I was all bummed out because I knew I wasn't able to eat it or anything.

But suprisingly enough, we got back to station for only a few minutes and I grabbed my salad and the tuna I made. I chowed down on the salad and I ate the tuna around 4:30 or so.

I didn't get to eat the rest of it until 9pm and I was STARVING!!! Seriously.

So much for the first day of doing this way of life, but I stuck through it.

And I think that is motivation enough that you all can do it too. =)

If you need anywhere to run to, just go hear and I'll try to be helpful as possible. Don't forget your veggies and your water!

Kick some butt today everyone!
