Induction: Week 1

So, last week Tuesday, I decided that low-carb is how I am going to lose this weight. I am always struggling with my weight, but in all the things I have tried. LOW CARB is what honestly makes me feel better. Without the carbs, I feel like I have more energy without all the sugar weighing me down.

I am feeling positive and motivated! The first 3 days were a bit testy for me, but they always are. I pushed through, and the cravings for sugar has subsided... besides who can turn down a lifestyle of extra crispy chicken wings, and bacon!!

I'm coming to the end of my first week as Tomorrow starts my second week. I made myself promise not to peek on the scale until the first 2 weeks of the recommended induction are up. That means weigh in day is going to be July 9th. I'm excited to step on the scale because I know I am going to see results. But we all know i suffer from Scale OCD so this has been my biggest challenge thus far.

I've read in the book that you shouldn't exercise the first week, and just use the first week to get used to eating differently. SO... tomorrow starts common sense work out!!!

I am now off all medications I was previously taking, I have gotten used to and changed the way I am eating, and I am honestly feeling so much better. It's been a bit of a transition, but lord knows where there is a will there is a way, and I will find it one way or another.... so what if sometimes I do things the hard way....lol eventually I get where I need to be!

This week I am going to aim for my 2 mile walk around the neighborhood like I usually do. At least 3 times this week, but there's really no reason for me not to do it everyday just depends on how my ankle holds up.
