Multiplicity1's Journal, 13 March 2010

Today was a good day. 18 total carbs my ketone stick turned dark purple. My calories are around 1600. I managed to leave out all the foods adrianna told me are questionable. No hotdogs,Spam,sausage, or nuts today. I walked in Walmart for 20 minutes today - actual timed walking above and beyond the shopping time. It worked out well - when I was getting hot and sweaty we passed by the frozen foods and I was able to cool down a bit. Didn't skip in the store like keli does. I might crack the floor tiles...I read in Atkins Diabetes Revolution last night and learned more from that book in one evening about diabetes and why I have it and what food plan will work for it than I learned in 15 years on my own. I am so excited to finish the book and apply all the info. It will make a huge difference in my life. The Atkins Induction phase of the food plan has already allowed me to normalize my blood sugars to near perfection. They run from 81-116 which is great and I am only taking 1/2 the glucophage I was taking when I began the weight loss plan. I expect to need to decrease my meds further as I exercise more. Hope everyone is having a really great day today! Tomorrow is the last day before my official weekly weigh-in day. I can always hope I will lose more than 1 lb. this wk. Oh, tomorrow I bring my own food to a catered card party where everyone else will be binging all afternoon. Wish me luck.
