Day 3 and hanging on

[sugargirl]

Anyone else out there in the same boat? I'm tired and had a little bit of a headache but going strong. I need to up my water consumption for tomorrow. I made chocolate chip cookies for my kids today and I stayed out of them! Not even a finger lick of dough! I really want to do a clean induction & stick with it.

Day one - made it til the evening when I had some peanuts (still better than i've been doing though). Tomorrow is another day though, I'm hoping to do a clean induction day, since technically peanuts are illegal in induction!

Wowza - nice to know I'm not alone. I'm on day 2....I guess they call this the "Atkins Flu" - I call it sick and tired of being tired and cranky (aka ravenous for carbs). I'm working on being really good. I too am trying to have a "clean" induction. I really need to be good this time and I could use a support team. You in?

Re: Day 3 and hanging on

I'm TOTALLY in! Support is desperately needed in my world, as it's all too easy to just say forget-it and eat some noodles or something when you've got that crazy stomach craving and headache and feel like you just want to kill something. YIKES!!!

(Yes, induction flu, love it. NOT!)

Re: Day 3 and hanging on

Yippee -

Well since I cheated yesterday and didn't even know it. I'm super dedicated today. Water, water, water...and definitely going to the gym tonight. Whoo! - I'm especially excited to see the weight coming off already (only day 3 and its coming off)! ...psss...
don't tell but I had to sneak a peek on the scale. Ya-know....what'in my progress.
So far so good.

Re: Day 3 and hanging on

I am also on day 3 of induction after falling off over the holidays. I lost 62 pounds last year (gained 10 or so back during holidays) and I won't gain that back again! I definitely feel sooooo good on the Atkins compared to eating off plan. I had a headache the last couple days, but I am feeling like I can conquer the world today! Atkins gives me such energy, clear headedness, no "bloat" and a more happy disposition!

Re: Day 3 and hanging on

You know, I didn't know why I was so irritable last night but yesterday was day 1, maybe that's part of it.

Re: Day 3 and hanging on

Hey everyone I am TOTALLY IN as well. It is soo cool to be able to come here for support!!

Iam doing well still a little bit of a headache & tired but I've been drinkiing a ton of water. Don't forget your water it really helps! The carb cravings haven't kicked in yet for me so it's not too bad right now. I just need to make sure I have plenty of induction food to eat.

Knicknack - don't fall off at your party - you can do it! ps - I love your cow avatar!

Re: Day 3 and hanging on

I just drank 1.5 liters of water in an effort to a. fill myself up and b. get rid of my headache. About to go play tennis or work out (depends on if the lights are on at the courts). I'm gonna eat a huge dinner before going to the football thing I think - I'll probably be late I imagine, but oh well!

thanks for all the encouragement, I can do this, you're right!!!

You are all doing great! The dreaded flu will be gone before you know it and you will be in ketosis heaven. Just hang in there.
