Roll Call, Friday 9-25

[Barb1965]

I know I already posted my check in for today, but I had to post again. I mentioned in the last post that I thought ketosis had set in based on a touch of inuction flu (which is gone now) and my ketostix.

But since I've been up a couple more hours I've noticed something else. It's like a calming of my entire body inside and out. My digestive track isn't rumbling like it always seemed to do before, I don't feel gassy or bloated, no indigestion or acid reflux. My nose isn't sniffly, my airways are clear. I actually feel GOOD inside my body for the first time in a long time.

I just had to write this to remind myself how good it feels to get all those nasty excess carbs out of my body incase I ever forget what it was like before.

Have a great weekend all!

Hi all. I'm babysitting my 5 month old granddaughter today so life is good! She's a joy to be around.

The diet is going well. I just moved up to rung 7, fruit, and had some concord grapes off our arbor yesterday and they were so good. No fruit today though.

Have a great day!

Hi,
I am Kathie & new to the boards. My husband & I started our Atkins return on 9/15/08. We are finding this time around that our induction phase is slower going then previously. It helps to be able to read that others have had the same experience. We are doing our best to support each other although we already have a cheat day planned for his birthday on this coming Tuesday. My husband thought since we were celebrating on Tuesday, we might as well go do wings & beer on Sunday so he can watch his football game. I told him if he goes, I will wait at home for him, I CAN NOT afford to make excuses to cheat. I will give in on his birthday & I have made it clear to him that come Wednesday, I am back on track. We are also exercising more this time around. We have reached our 1st plateau and as always are a bit discouraged, however, I know that if we keep supporting each other we can blast past it. (I will be working on him between now & Sunday to see if I can't work out something that won't blow his game or his diet). Wish us luck!
