Let the Journey Begin

Today I decided to switch to Atkins. Rigorously. My thinking was that I have been trying really hard not to snack, eat more balance meals, lots of fiber...but I am just retaining water and the scale isn't moving and my joints are killing me. Maybe, at this juncture, this has been increasing inflammation...so I am switching.

Today for Breakfast:
2 eggs
3 slices of ham 3 carb
1 tsp. butter
sprinkle of salt and pepper

Lunch:
6 oz can of kirkland tuna
1/4 mayo
2 tbl. relish 2 carb
5 stalks of celery 6 carb

Dinner:
Hamburger
Fried cabbage and onion 5 carb
Olive oil, butter, carroway seed
Cheese, cheedar 1 carb

I have also drunk well over my 8 glasses of water and taken my measurements. I can see that I am going to have to do some planning to eat this way again or I will get very bored and lose my resolve. Today has been a good day though - just 13 more days of induction - and then I can add nuts and other things that will give a little more variety. Three more days until my sugar stores have been depleted and many of the craving cease. Right at the moment I feel strong, committed, and proactive.
