Tuesday is going to mark my two weeks of induction. I am going to go through until Friday though, cos I had a few lil things in between,
because of my nutrition class, I have to do a lil sampling and I had a spoonful of some cheese souffle and a lil tips of some coconut merengue..

I want to weigh, but I think I will be disappointed, so I am going to wait till wednesday afternoon to weigh and see how that goes..
My stomach is going down, dont have the pot belly I used to have *blush*
From the 7th JUne I start exercising every afternoon after work..
I'm glad I decided to start this diet over again during the summer when I have lots more time to concentrate on it and not be frustrated with classes..

Feel free to post your views, any questions?

I had some potatoes..
WHY?
Cos on the herb diet I am on in conjunction with the Atkins, they say I could eat potato..
I didnt have a lot, but I feeling guilty *hangs head in shame*
SO I am going to take my herbs today to get a clean out and drink this mixture I heard that cleans out your liver for you
Olive oil, grapefruit juice and lemon juice..
Sure as hell is going to taste real nasty, ewww!

I am hoping to be down 15lbs by wednesday night, and God willing, I dont want to cheat on my diet when I get to the wedding either..
But there is cold pastry chef who makes cheese cake, yummmmy I want piece ah dat..

last night I made a sugar free cheese cake, just substituted the sugar with splenda, gelatin has no carbs, cream cheese has 1 carb per serving, the graham cracker crust has 1.5 grams of carbs per serving, so it rounds out to be 3.25 grams per slice of cheese cake..that's hella low carbs, considering that you must only have 20 g per day..
and I have been doing that and less.. so that's great
I can fwd recipes if you like..

so today ah deading..
I feeling like I Have no real appetite but I hungry... does that make sense?
I am still taking the herbal tablets, I not using the bathroom that often..
I made a boo boo, my veggie mix has tons of corn in it.. I not going to eat that no more
Tonight I plan to eat some toscana, minus the beans with some oven roasted pork..
Drinking water has become a task, but a staple, because I dont feel good drinking anything else, esp when I eat and in the night when it's super hot in my room..

How you guys doing? is the chat box working?

Atkins back on track..
Today is day 5 and I have lost 8 lbs so far..
I am also using some herbal cleansers to detox my system..
ONe from MOther Nature's in Trinidad and the other is the 10 day starter kit from the Atkins products at GNC..
The combination of the two is amazing..

LEt me tell you a bit of what I have been eating..
Day 1 and 2 - I ate Callaloo and stew chicken
Days 3 and 4, I ate breakfast, sausage and eggs..
I must say that I was real hungry in the afternoon, I thought I was going to pass out, cos I was on the road and I couldnt stop and get anything.
I had callalloo on those days as well.. Some one of those days I made some coleslaw and that really helped fill in for something a lil sweet. I added some vinegar to my coleslaw and a tad bit of black pepper and mayo and I was doing just great.
Day 4 for dinner I had beef and callaloo
Day 5 I had beef with vegetables.. and some coleslaw, tasted and EVERBESS!!

Because of the HErbal tablets, I am not allowed to have any flour or dairy either.. so that works well.. Just that I cant have cheese and cream, things that I normally use to make Quiches, and sauces for meats.. but that's no biggie

Ladies and Gents who are on Atkins and have been..
I am going to try and get a chatbox in here so that you can post your questions and results..
Have a good one!
