Day 3 and 4

Everything seems to be going great.  Interestingly the craving aren't too bad this time around.  I haven't been had a cup of coffee yet - mostly because it has been spring break and the kids and I have slept till after 9am most of the time.   Next week when the kids are back in school I plan to kick up some dust on the treadmill, but this week proved too difficult because every time I tried I got thwarted by someone needing me for some sort of "emergency" or another.  Tonight (if the kids have their rooms clean) we promised them we'd do s'mores and hot dogs on the fire. I kinda doubt this is going to go down - mainly because of the stateof their room last night as they went to bed, but if it does I will allow myself one s'more :)

DAY 2 - welcome back spinach

Spinach - I protested eating it for years - now I love it, especially cheesy spinach.  Today was good, I woke up late so I just had a light snack for breakfast.  Followed by a turkey wrap for lunch (low carb tortillas) and then a bun-less hamburger patty with cheesy spinach for dinner.

So this was day 3 of the kids spring break.  Yesterday we loaded up their bikes and took them to the park/walking track and walked/biked once around.  Today we took the kids to play their first game of putt putt golf then for ice cream.  Tomorrow we were supposed to go to the Aquarium, but since the weather is supposed to be rainy, so we may make it a day of movies and stay curled up on the couch.

Day one of Round 2

I came so close to making my goal last month - but failed.  I took it out on my Easter feast and ate creamy mac and cheese, potatoes, and cheesecake.  Today I started round 2 up 6lbs from where I ended round 1.  So I am starting back on the Atkins Induction today.  Another girl in our group lost quite a bit on the low glycemic diet, so I am debating on after my 2 week induction to go into the low GI diet.  I need to first read a bit more, so I plan to buy a book here in the next day or two to see if it is right for me.  I know from my guide to PCOS that both the low GI and Atkins diet are both recommended for PCOS so I might switch - but who knows!
