SockTart

A little folk humour there, but so true. And I’m not talking from a standpoint of pure vanity.

I cut my sugar intake again. I’m back on track with Atkins induction, and it’s working. My energy level has skyrocketed, my body is using its natural furnace-like abilities to burn fat off, and I’m dropping pounds. I can actually feel it.

I’m down 8 pounds at the moment. I’m a very happy young lady. Some of that is water weight, yes…usually the first whoosh of weight loss (which was a very quick 5 pounds). The last 3 pounds took a tiny bit longer. That’s fat, and I have a feeling I know where it came from.

So…progress. I’m drinking 2 litres or more of water each day, and getting more active. I’m also steering clear of the sugarbombs in our office…we have “Healthy Snack” day (Yoghurt, apples, oranges, bananas, granola bars) twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday, and “Snack Day” on Mondays (Baked goods ie: muffins, croissants, danishes, scones, etc). Unfortunately, the fruit is too high on the Glycemic Index for me, and the baked goods are all made with refined sugar and flour. No goodies for me. I go to my lunch bag and get a piece of cheese.

It hasn’t been easy, but I’m doing it. 8 pounds and about 5 inches down. w00t!
