Well THAT was a sloppy start!!

[Asclepius]

Let's try this again. We had a family member come to stay with us and decided for hospitality sake we'd "pause" the lifestyle change for the time being. HUGE mistake. I didn't realize all the good that was already taking place for me physiologically. Cocktails, wine, and pastas took me from feeling well nourished and energized to sluggish and irritable in less than 48hrs. Even worse, the small amount of progress I'd made in 4 days vanished. Never imagined I'd encounter and actually fall face first into such a huge pit fall so easily. Lesson learned, I suppose.

Well, you know what the book says...Jump on that Atkins bandwagon immediately! This is a learning experience, it's good that you are learning this early. Now you know what can happen if you fall off track. Just dust yourself off and climb on back the wagon!

[Asclepius]

Indeed! It's a bit embarrassing to biff it so early on but better now than when I'm a breath away from my goal, I suppose. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Well, if it makes you feel any better- for the 1st two days of induction, I thought I was doing really good because I only drank one diet soft drink each day- until I realized my husband had bought REGULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can imagine the conversation that followed that discovery- ha ha~

just pick yourself back up and keep going!!

Hey, don't beat yourself up! Feeling so crappy after your little walk on the wild side (+=) sounds like punishment enough! Back to being an Atkineer ... onward and upward (or downward, on the scale )!
