Just a few thoughts at this milestone while I stop to celebrate ...
1) The lack of ... ummm ... intestinal gas, shall we say ... is a very nice side effect.
2) It's been a week since I've taken a night-time antacid. I've taken one every night for 3 years or so.
3) My fasting blood sugar was 88 last week!
5) The first week and a half of induction sucked. Don't wanna have to go through that again!
6) Hey, tilapia's not bad!
7) Okay, I'm drinking 3+ liters of water a day and my ketostix are showing me still firmly in ketosis. I'm averaging 1700 cals a day and eating my veggies religiously. Why am I still hungry so often? Hmmm, have to play with that a bit. Need to get better about keeping snacks around.
8 ) Splenda's too bloody sweet. I have NO sugar/sweet cravings, although I still struggle a bit with Sahara Pizza cravings from time to time. I've had absolutely zero desire for cakes/cookies/ice cream (which is just as well 'cause I'm surrounded by 'em at work).
9) 15 pounds. While eating everything that I've been taught, my entire life, is double-plus-ungood for me! 15! Pounds! I just happened to have a 15 pound bag of cat food sitting in the kitchen this morning. I picked it up, set it back down, and grinned.
10) Now where the heck am I losing it FROM? Oh, my watch band is looser!
11) Hmmm ... I wonder what'll happen when my knee heals and I add some serious exercise into the mix?

3a) My doctor says that if I find myself tempted to quit this "diet" I'm to get a same-day appointment with her IMMEDIATELY so she can give me a mom-lecture.
4) I don't miss the blood-sugar-plummet shakes. Those were a nearly daily thing, had been for years. They stopped in the first week of induction. 5) The first week and a half of induction sucked. Don't wanna have to go through that again!
