Hi everyone,
I made cookies for my husband this weekend (I know, self destructive behavior...but he deserved the reward after shoveling gravel in the heat all day)
Anyway, I've been feverish and scatterbrained and no appetite, upset stomach/queasy- on top of a stressful day at work and my DH being gone and leaving me with the kids last night...I was feeling so lousy that I wanted to just throw in the towel and let myself eat whatever I wanted last night. I looked at that tin of cookies about 15 times. But I never reached for it. I stayed on my induction and I'm down 2 lbs today! I ate chicken and a sugar free jello and lots and lots of water.
That's a total of 6 lbs in 4 days of induction. I'm 2lbs from my next mini goal. Whoo-hoo! A total of 20lbs since May 1. And that's with a week off while I ate my way through a binge. Imagine if I had stayed on plan the whole time!
I can't tell if the physical stuff I have going on is an actual bug or if its a kind of induction flu. I've started Atkins 5 or 6 times over the last few years and never felt like this. I'm feeling too yucky to exercise in case it really is a stomach thing I don't want to push myself. Which depresses me because I had a goal to not miss workouts for the month. But, life happens right? I'll get back on the exercise wagon as soon as I feel better.
