Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Yup, this is the way with Atkin's Induction - it's up and down, up and down. I was chatting with a fellow HCG'r yesterday telling her that I was so not prepared to do Atkins Induction this week. I had none of the supplies needed to complete this program. Not nearly enough "fatty" foods to up my calories since I am not eating hardly any carbs.

My calories were low yesterday, yet I stuffed my face. I also spent a good hour outside (finally a GLORIOUS day to work outside) doing yard work and was very sore and tired when done. One more thing is that I ate late (around 7pm) and I ate WAY too many carbs for induction. But I insisted I wanted green beans with tomato sauce. Oh yeah, one more thing, TOM is still here!

So if you ask me, I am not worried about the temporary gain. It will come off. I am one of those that loses as TOM leaves the building, not while he is here.

I am running late again today folks, I don't know what it is, but I seem to be finally catching up on some much needed sleep. Have a great day!

On to my commenter's - these are my responses to yesterday's comments:

Mary - Thanks girl!

Becca - Thanks to you girl!

Shelly - Thanks!

B - It's worth a read if you have time, it's a pretty healthy way of eating. Very similar to Dr Simeons.
