BTDT, but some people have to learn the hard way.

Today was the first day of induction.

I was planning on starting Atkins on Sept.2, the day after my son's third birthday. But I wasn't that thrilled eating birthday cake (for me) back on Tuesday. So not thrilled that I decided that this week was the week.

I need to go out and buy some supplements. I used to pooh-pooh them, but I've seen them change my life in the last two years. Also, I guess I need some ketostix. I need to make a list of stuff to buy.

I had a wicked sugar craving the way I always do on Sunday nights. But I had some gum with xylitol and that helped. Oops, I guess I need to see if xylitol is a permissible sugar substitute.
