For the next few days I am going to follow Atkins for Life guidlelines with the maximum carb allowance - 100 Net carbs in preparation for Sunday when I start Atkins Induction for two weeks.
I'm staying away from sugar, white flour, processed foods etc. up until Sunday when the challenge begins so that I won't find the first few days so tough.
I'm drinking two litres of herbal tea and maybe some water with a little fresh lemon for variety but I've got such a range of herbal teas in the cupboard I don't think that will bother me.
I've worked out already this morning. I did half an hour on abs, posture and arms and although they feel a little like jelly, I feel good. I'm working up to 5 times 10 reps of everything and I can do some of them already. 50 Crunches are easy. The plank for two minutes is tough.
I've planned out what I'm gonna eat all day and it's looking pretty good. As long as I fill up on fibre I don't feel like snacking in the evening anymore so that's the plan.
I already feel lighter and good for doing something for myself.
