It's 7:37 am on a lovely Sunday morning....Christopher is just waking up and Bryan is still out cold. I wanted to seize the moment, grab a cup of coffee, start a load of laundry, run the dishwasher, and plop myself down here for some "me" time.

So, as I mentioned in my previous post, I was thinking about doing Atkins. I'm giving it a shot. First of all, those of you who have never pursued the low carb thing, just check it out - http://www.atkins.com/. I was impressed once I logged onto this site because unlike every other diet out there, you don't have to pay $5 a week to join the diet, have a community to talk to, and have a computer spit out recommended meals. It's all laid out for you and it's FREE...the way it freakin should be. LOL!

After reading some info, I realize that I am definitely having a hard time with the carbs, and I'm addicted to all the wrong kinds. I can't image most mornings waking up without toast, a waffle, bagel etc. Then I got to thinking, a long time ago, when I was getting married and was very slender...what was I eating in the morning for breakfast? Fruit....a high protein bar, shake etc. Somewhere along the way, I fell back into old habits and the weight has packed on since there.

I don't expect to be as thin as I was then....but at this point I need to do what I can to feel great about myself. I have to give this 100% for the 2 week induction and I'm sure I will see some fabulous results and will want to keep it going.

I wanted to post some pics, but it won't let me...so another time I suppose....Happy Sunday!
