Day 1

I have been trying out the Atkin's Diet for a month or so - which means I eat fewer refined carbs, and do the real diet for about a day or so and then eat a bunch of pizza or something - and now that Con is coming up soon, I really do need to lose 5-10 more pounds FAST so I'm going to DO IT for realsies.

This morning I weighed in at 144.8 lbs. **I have already lost about 10 lbs from "trying" the Atkin's Diet and about 5 lbs before that from just wishing and hoping. :3

Breakfast: 2 hard-boiled eggs and 3 strips of bacon, one cup coffee with 1 tsp heavy cream.

Snack: none

Lunch: 4 oz. turkey patty (seasoned) and 5 asparagus sprigs (I'm so bad at counting carbs, I don't even try.), Lime Jell-o (I can eat as much as I want), 1 small slice of Monterey Jack cheese (way less than an ounce) and one tsp of peanut butter.

Snack: 1/4 cup of peanut butter (probably) and 2 whole sticks of celery.

Dinner: 1 breast Chicken Caprice with artichokes and tomoatoes and a small side salad with tomatoes and cucumber, no dressing.


Feelings: Started out good - up-beat mood and decent energy. A bit sluggish around 3-4 when a massive headache set in - not quite a migraine, but it seemed to be triggered from clenching my shoulders. Only slightly better after snack. It could have been from not drinking enough or from refined carb withdrawal since I ate a bunch of pizza the day before.
