Hey hey, well today I started my new eating plan and I was a little enthusiastic and worried at the same time. Enthusiastic to get started, to begin losing weight and discover my new me, and a little worried just incase this eating plan doesn't go to plan, or incase I get bored of the food etc! But whatever happens I promise to give it my best shot and document it all the way.Anyways this morning I did my initial weigh in... And guess what... am a whole 16 stone exactly or 101.6 kg or 224 pounds :o( Just so you blog followers know, my the eventual weight I am inspiring to achieve is 12 Stone or 76 kg or 167.6 pounds.
This is what I need to lose to achieve my target weight:
Stone 16 - 12 = 4 Stone
Kilos 101.6kg - 76 = 25.6kg
Pounds 224 - 167.6 = 56.4 pounds
I plan to take a recording of my weight weekly, just so I know that I am heading in the right direction with my food choices. Along with this I am also hoping to try and take a weekly picture and provide my measurements in the Chest, Waist, Hip, Upper Arm and Thigh areas. As shown below, unfortunately these are my measurements…

On a daily basis I will be providing snippets of what I have been consuming. I will break this down into categories, like Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Possible Snacks and beverages, and I will try to give a brief description of each phase followed by the net carbs consumed. With this I will also supply information on what Supplements I have taken, Water drunk and Exercise participated in. Again as shown below :o)
Well first day over and I have survived day 1 of induction even with net carbs to spare, so Atkins surely can’t be that bad…. In fact from breakfast this morning I noticed something unusual for me. That is, for the first time in a long time I have felt actually stuffed and satisfied, breakfast just filled me up and I didn’t need anything else to eat til 2 to 3pm ish, and by the way I had breakfast at 8:40am, so for me that’s impressive because normally I have a huge appetite :oP I was amazed actually how my eating habits have already changed, and how suppressed my appetite feels now. Luckily I haven’t had any carb cravings yet … I must say though I am not looking forward to this.
It does feel good however, that I have finally started Dr Atkins. During last week, in preparation for this diet, I had a mission to consume all my carbohydrate products and to empty all my cupboards. So this should also help prevent me from not straying off my objective :oP I also enjoyed 2 hours of activity, playing volleyball, and my performance didn’t seem to be affected by my change in eating habits thus far. So all positive signs at the minute plus I managed to keep to my 20g of net carbs a day. Dr. Atkins would be so proud ;o) Anyhow, rant over for today, take care and see you tomorrow.
