Well, I can't say I was happy with the weight loss for today, as there was none. In fact, I gained 0.8 lbs. However, I wasn't hungry and that did make me happy.
A few things I found out. My idea of a serving size of vegetables and the Atkins Plan idea of a serving were not the same. I will have to measure things out for a while so I can get a better idea. I will also have to deal with the amount of coffee (and more importantly the stevia that I add to the coffee) that I have been enjoying. I know I don't drink as much water as I should. I've known that for years. I'm going to make a bargain with myself that for every cup of coffee I want, I have to drink 8 oz of water first.
And then there is the exercise part. Oh, I think I'll think about that tomorrow. Today, we are painting the hallway. That's enough for one day.
