The first week..

I would have to say the first week on the Atkins Diet was great.. and I think one of the main reasons was because I had the proper food in my kitchen.. I didn't eat no BREADS, PASTA, RICE or FRUIT the whole time.

Now energy wise.. I don't think I gained a boost of energy, but it was the first week.

As for headaches.. HELL YES! I got a real light one on Sunday.. but then Tuesday and Wednesday came and OMG.. I suffer from migraines and this wasn't nothing like it.. but it was a really bad headache for those two days. I took all kinds of headache meds/relievers and NOTHING helped. Even today I feel a slight one but not as bad as yesterday and the day before. I'm glad I got my orders baked and shipped before the headache came or else I would of been doomed.

The pounds!!! I went down 8lbs in a week which is awesome!!! Just from eating what the plan said.. no exercising involved. I am thrilled and cant wait to see what next Wed brings.. The book said loose up to 15lbs in the first two weeks.. I believe I am on that track and even better!!

Atkins it is!

Sitting on the couch at this moment...

Thought to write. Ouch something just freaking bit my nose!

Anyways I've been thinking and reading the Atkins book. So I decided to start this past Wed (yesterday). When I lost the 30lbs last year, I basically did it without even knowing what I was doing was like the Atkins. My doctors at the time said to cut all carbs out of my diet. Due to me having type2 diabetes... #stress.
SideNote: I have been told numerous times that that was the road my body we heading to.. but did I listen. Now look at me.

So I did it back then. It was hard, but when u have the RIGHT foods in your fridge... You should be good! Which is why it worked. My issue back then was my mindset wasn't correct as in no carb & working out. I would eat right one week and couldn't bring myself to the gym and the next week it was the total opposite. Gym and bad foods. I don't know why it was like that... It still is NOW. But I will do everything right by the Atkins lifestyle this time and see how far I can go. The book was good.. I have me more info that I didn't know.

I've heard the goods and the bads.. that goes for ANY diet, lifestyle change. You can't win.. but you can be the Biggest LOSER!

I mean if u go vegan, then they say you need this and if you go low-fat you can't eat that.. so my personal opinion is to do what you feel is best for YOUR body. Just like with Doctors.. one says u have this and the other says no you have that.

Anyway I hope these first 14 days are "A Piece Of Cake"! Cause after that my body should have adjusted...
Til next time

Stuck all day with Temptation!

Omg, so this weekend is the Labor Day holiday. I have been doing good all week until today (sun) ! I was asked if I wanted to go to some 'House in the park' event today, for 9am until like 9pm... 12 freaking hours! And I am NOT a outdoors person. So anyway I declined, which means I was stuck home, without a vehicle. Oh did I mentioned FOOD also! Now don't get me wrong... There is food in this house, but not the food my body should be around.. alone... for +12 hours! And theres no sign of the 'good' food I should be eating! Reason: I went food shopping over 2wks ago... That sh!t is gone! So everything and I mean EVERYTHING is looking tempting.. I'm getting weak, a headache and I start shaking cause the eggs that I ate wasn't enough to hold me all day. They made fried chicken, mac & cheese and beans! Now what would you have done in this situation? Hopefully not the same thing I'm about to tell you!

I ate that crap.. but I didn't over do it. I ate enough to satisfying for then.. Then I went back for dinner! I messed up guys.. and I feel bad. So now, I'm gonna wake up early and go for my morning walk. Oh and tomorrow I weigh in... #stress! Hopefully there's a slight difference.

Anyway the moral of this post, is to ALWAYS have a stack of the 'good' around!
