Well, it's Friday. My day 1 at low carb. I remember when I was in high school, I tried to do low carb with my mom. I didn't really care about it and did fine, but she couldn't stick to it. As soon as she gave in, I was like, "ok." I dunno.. I've never had an urge to do low carb before. Here's hoping for some stick-to-itiveness.
So, I had a weigh in this morning. I was expecting a 10 pound gain (I've been eating like mad and I assumed between weight and water retention, it'd be there), instead, it was a 6 pound gain. This brings me down 14 total. I expect my first week or 2 to be a big loss if for nothing else than the water that my body is clearly hanging onto (as I'm able to tell by the tightness of my ring). I love my ring. Yes, it's very pretty which I love the most.. but it's a great gauge of sodium and water retention!
So, yeah, 6 pounds I have to lose before I'm back in the real losing-ness.
Breakfast was delicious. An omelet with chicken, cheese, chia seeds, and love. Lunch will be a salad with chicken and feta. I don't have any snacks on hand.. I'll probably pick some up on my break.
Well, I feel good so far. I had my lemon water, I'm drinking iced tea, and I have a healthy plan for the day including many veggies.
Also, I'm back to posting in my other food blog (or will be by mid-day).
That's all I have for today. I'll be back on Monday full of zero sugar crankiness. It'll be awesome!

well here's hoping your sugar free crankiness is short! im not usually cranky in induction, just bouts of tired! But after a few days i do feel much better, better than i do not limiting carbs! get a little extra rest. And exercise will expediate the induction process!
ReplyDeletein time of crisis, there is a huge container of "sour cream" on your bookshelf. Have a piece :)
Good luck! Hopefully you don't hate it with a fiery passion. It's my third week, and I'm still alive, so how bad can it be, ya know?
ReplyDelete@Twon- I'm hoping the cranks are minimal. I have a 3 day weekend coming up, so hopefully that will get me plenty of rest. And if all goes well, I'll be at the gym all week, too! If all goes well...
ReplyDelete@Tricia Thanks! I'm hoping it's an easy transition.. i'm just not used to checking for carbs.. AT ALL...
