Day 9 on Atkins.
I am doing fine sticking to the diet and working out. I feel hungry sometimes during a day but I drink a glass of water and that goes away. I eat every three hours, simple food, not much preparation at all. I can't wait when I can jump my carbs, so I can eat more veggies. It's funny how with so little carbs my taste buds are awake and everything tastes... better now. I started craving apples. They are my favorites and we always have apples at home for snacks. I can't deprive my family from all the goodies even if I can't have any. I don't crave chocolate or candy but would love to have some yogurt or nuts or fruit. For some reason I thought when you are on Atkins you don't have any cravings. Well, my weight is coming down and that is what important.
My sugar stays even through a day (I check it in the morning and before bed). I drink a lot of water (15 glasses today). My goal for this week is 200 min of cardio, at least 2000 Cal burned during cardio (2500 Cal even better), 3 weight trainings for a week, a 30 min walk 5-6 days a week and stay active as much as possible. I started doing some of my workouts in the morning. I feel less tired when I dont have to complite all at once late at night when all I want to do is to go to bed. Knowning that I have to do just 30 min of cardio or a weight training only helps me get to the gym and then I can choose the intensity of my workout to meet my needs. I take one rest day a week when I dont do any training, one day I just walk on a treadmill with little incline at a comfortable speed and the rest days the intensity must be high.
Good luck to all
