Today's Weight: 281 pounds
Today is day four of ketosis in my induction phase of Atkins, and I'm feeling better, although I'm still not fully capable of rational thinking. I feel like putting head through a window. Keeping my head from windows will be the order of the day.
I'll work on staying busy with perhaps a nice, long walk to keep me from losing it. I'm actually okay I think, but this transition phase to fat fuel is wild.

Third Day of Induction
Today's Weight: 282 pounds
I'm now in my third day of Atkins induction and feeling a bit confused, grouchy, motivated, anxious, unfocused, yet still stable. Good news is that I'm back down to my lowest weight of the year, and hope that this phase will really set me off to some excellent weight loss.
I also got in 28 minutes of weightlifting this morning, which was a bit of an adjustment due to my body going through this change. Once I get a week behind me, I should be feeling great. I just want my ass to shrink. That's all.

Starting Atkins Induction
After getting down to 282 being a wheat free eater, I caved last Saturday and began eating wheat again, and thus today, I am at 288. I cannot have this. So instead of going back to a wheat free lifestyle, I'm going to full board and am starting Atkins induction. I have to get back to losing again, and this should jump start me to a good and steady decline.
Wish me luck.
Wish me luck.

Eight Pounds Lost in Ten Days
Today's weight: 286 pounds
Yesterday's Calories: 2750
Yesterday's Net Carbs: 132
Yesterday's Steps: 2027
Today is day four without any wheat products, and although it has been an adjustment, I've lost four pounds in four days, so I AIN'T COMPLAININ'. I'm not sure how long this will last, but I feel strong and will continue now for the month of April to see how much I can lose while staying away from wheat.
I'm also at my low for the year, down 11 pounds now from my year's high of 297. And in fact, I've dropped eight pounds in ten days since I restarted my dieting madness. Yes. I attribute this now to lowering my carbs, giving up wheat, and exercising moderately.
My goals this month are to lower my net carbs to below 100, get up my walking, work out with weights, and staying away from wheat.

Strange Call
Today's Weight: 288 pounds
Yesterday's Calories: 2471
Yesterday's Net Carbs: 76
Yesterday's steps: 3819
Today is day two of my attempt at leading a wheat free lifestyle and it is going fair. I did not eat any bread or bread like substances yesterday, but in my efforts I did receive a threatening phone call from the "Holy Wheat Institute" this morning after my walk.
As I climbed out of my giant underpants to get ready for my shower, the phone rang. I picked it up and a dark, foreboding voice on the other end strongly suggested I stop this ban on wheat, otherwise I might find myself tied up in a Kansas wheat field with a baguette stuffed down my gullet.
I quickly hung up the phone and after considering my options, I shakily have decided to defiantly continue onward with my efforts to give up wheat. I am down but not broken.
In my heart I keep telling myself it's not the fat, it's the wheat. We shall see.

Bread Free Monday!
Today I decided to give up bread. While I've lost four pounds over the last week, today I sit at 290 pounds.
Last week's stats:
2324 calories
130 net calories
I am not happy right now because in order for me to be a true low carber, I need to get below 100 net calories. That's the reason why I am giving up the bread. I think that should make a difference in my numbers.
Let's see how many days I can go without eating bread or any breadlike substances!

Slap Me Down
Today's weight: 289 lbs.
Yesterday's calories: 2055 calories
Yesterday's net carbs: 169 carbs
Damn! While I held my own on total calories, I blew it on carb totals. I need to remain under the 100 net carbs total to be able to call myself a low carb eater. Shame on me.
My goal right now is to update my blog roll to so that I can follow fellow fatsos in this struggle for sustained weight loss success. I shall continue to follow a low carb program and follow it because it suits me best and makes me feel best.
I am down one more pound today but this is just another start in this repeated madness that I must end. I am tired of starting and stopping and exploding in weight gain. Enough.
