day one went good. my inlaws came over eating arbys and offering fries and stuff and i was strong enough to turn it all down. which is really good because i feel the first week is the hardest. they even ate chocolate in front of me and i didnt even have the urge to take a bite. i tossed out every carb in my house so when im home alone there is no temptation there. im ready to do this again. i really dont want to see the scale until next week. im way too chicken after the way i acted. so maybe monday. haven't felt like excercising. 3 kids wow doesnt feel like i have the energy. im sure there are lots of women out there that would argue this. i will just need to get into the groove again. so maybe not today but i will start again sometime this week. mini goal for day 2 NO CARBS! extra bonus my husband joined me again this time around. he seen the results i was getting and decided that you cant beat the atkins diet. yay! its true i must have been a dieter since my teens. i've tried it all and i have never had results like this. thats what keeps me motivated. plus seeing all the people on this site do it really encourages me. love ya all!
