Day 5

[OzLover]

Day 5 of Induction & I'm wiped out. Is it Induction Flu or work??? I think work has really kicked my butt this week...I was on vacation last week. Also this was TOM for me. I'm hoping to get the energy burst this weekend! I have decided to only weigh myself every 2 weeks. But after the day I had I just needed something(not chocolate). So I decided to measure my waist as I've noticed a difference in how my clothes are feeling. Wow what a surprize!!! My waist has already gone down 1.5". I'm excited to say the least!!!
I'm so glad to have this site to come to for inspiration, motivation & tons of great information!!

Re: Day 5

I am on day 5 too. Funny. Seems I feel the same way. I believe its your body giving one last "Struggle against" method but is losing the war. lol I dont know. But I know your feeling!

Re: Day 5

Induction flu AND work, maybe? Ugh....that's why I hated Induction with a passion, but it works and it's the true form of Atkins.

Re: Day 5

WooHOO, glenda's waist is shrinking!! yipeee

I'm almost thru induction and have been feelin really low energy. Then I thought- woops i haven't beeen taking my vitamins. And have been lax on veggies. So I'm gonna work on that and see if it helps

If you're doing good on those things its probably just your body adjusting, imo

Good job staying off the scales, I'm trying that too

Re: Day 5

I have a hard time remembering my vitamins so DH & I decided to put our vitamins next to our recliners. We watch Jeopardy every night so we'll take our vitamins then. I eat plenty of veggies & drink lots of H2O...did the water challenge!! I think my body is adjusting to many things...Atkins, back to working full time & walking. I'm sure my body is saying "Oh crap here we go again on the Atkins kick." Plan for the day is to have some fun!!!

Re: Day 5

Its Day 6 for me and im feeling like a slug,,,, headache and my joints are aching too. This is exactly how I felt last time, although this time its happened a lot quicker.

Despite making a special effort to buy them, I haven't remembered to take a single vitamin yet!! Going to add them to my bed time routine I think,,,,

Re: Day 5

Day 7 & no headache. I got busy quilting & didn't realize the time until I got a headache. I ate lunch & it's gone!! The joint pain is gone today so hopefully the "flu" is gone. Wondering if it is typical for the "flu" to last longer for repeat restarters??
Hang on as it will disappear & the energy will hit!

Re: Day 5

Glad to hear the induction flu is moving on. I'm hoping to be right behind you in another day or so. Keep up the good work.

Re: Day 5

I am glad your feeling better. I had a pretty good dose of the induction flue as well this time.

Peace

Re: Day 5

Drink lots of water and take a walk, get that body moving and let it know whose BOSS, and send it the signals you mean business, and you are in control of what you want, not what it wants....finding something active to do will also release endorphines and that will help boost the over all good feeling atkins can give you, now that you are coming out of the detoxing period.

Re: Day 5

96 oz of H2O yesterday along with a walk. Feel great this AM & off to work I go. I'm thinking my headache may be caused by eye strain...haven't been to the eye doc in 2 yrs. I suspect new glasses are in order.
