Day 4 and Feeling Better

[rosetoes]

Hi All!

Well I made it to day four and I'm starting to feel better...no headache, woke a little tired, but had my Atkin's breakfast and feel much better....have energy. I feel lighter...notice a little difference in my clothes, but I promised myself that I will wait until Friday (1 week) before weighing myself. My husband started Saturday and he weighs daily and he is down 3 pounds.

Thanks all for the encouragement and I will be in touch.

Fantastic Rose to both yourself and Hubby! One baby step at a time, turn around, and you have walked around the World! Keep it up! RObin

I preach that the first 3 days are the hardest, seems to get easier after that. Keep up the positive attitude and stay focused. God Bless, Joe

It's so exciting when you feel that change.

Hi Rose,

You haven't posted in this thread for a bit ... hope you are still hanging in there and your husband is too - men usually have more immediate success (albeit not always more sustaining!) so I'm hoping you can show him up a bit!

Best of luck to you,

Wendy

Hi Wendy:


I'm on day 8 now and cruising right along. I have loss a total of 6.5 pounds and feels so great about it! I hope to lose 4 to 5 pounds by the end of the induction period. I have been exercising for a few days now and that helps. The first 3 days, I was totally zapped due to the sugar withdrawl, but i do feel wonderful now and am so encouraged.

Now my husband cheated mid week, there was a luncheon at our office and he ate alot, I waited until I got home and ate my shrimp salad with avocado and water. He just went off the diet that day and fruit, soft drink, etc. The next morning he put on 2 pounds. He wasn't surprised, and now he is back on the band wagon.

I'm working too hard to cheat...My son is a freshman in college and while he stays on campus in Chicago (30 miles from home), he comes home on the weekend so I may have the privledge to do his laundry, lol. There is a Dominick's store that has the best White Chocolate Macadamina nuts cookies that are to die for....he brought me 4 as he normally does on the weekend. After he told me that he bought me cookies, he recalled that I was on a diet and apologized. I appreciated the gesture and politely put them in the freezer. They are for a treat somewhere in the future. I have 14 to 18 pounds to go and I am focused.
Well I'm off to the treadmill now.....

Best Wishes to all,
Rose
