Trying this out the right way

[trinity210]

HI

I have officially decided to start Atkins as of tomorrow. Today my fiance and i went to the store, bought all our groceries and i just finished prepping all the food for the week.

I'm really excited to be doing this for real finally, rather than doing it half you know what!! i finished reading the book today and i'm pretty jazzed!

Reading the book is a fantastic start!! Keep your book handy for referral & of course use the knowledge here on ADBB. Post often, ask questions, start a journal & join a challenge or two!!

Good luck on your journey!

Re: Trying this out the right way

Congratulations on your plans to do this RIGHT! Whenever you're tempted to stray from the book, remember that Dr A has good reason for every one of his recommendations. I often had to (have to) remind myself that these are the rules I'm signing up for, like 'em or lump 'em. If I have a better way, I should go write my own book!

Best of luck to you!

Re: Trying this out the right way

first day almost done and i feel quite good. a bit tired but i'm assuming that is from the lack of carbs which i know will get better after a few days.
have had zero cravings and my guy is making me steak for dinner.. YUM.
hope everyone had a good monday!

I was exhausted for the first couple of days as well. I woke up on the third or fourth day before my alarm clock went off raring to go. So, get ready, it's coming.

i'm pretty active as is.... working out isn't my issue food is.
i also notice that when i eat clean, i am more motivated to workout!
