Tenth day of eating healthier whole foods (Atkins-style, hehe) and I have lost almost three pounds! For a normal person, that's great progress- for me, it's almost unbelievable. AND I should be starting my period any day now, so three pounds is really nothing to sneeze at. I am very happy about this :)
All of the people on-line talk about the body's process of switching from primarily-carb burning to primarily-fat burning, and how it feels to experience that. They say one day you feel a sudden renewed energy that just never seems to go away. While it wasn't this big dramatic thing, today I ran a half mile within my 4 hour "power" walk, and after resuming walking for a minute or two, I felt really energized. I went home, dropped off our recycling, went grocery shopping, cooked & shredded chicken, cleaned the house a bit, took a shower, and still felt energized! I sure hope it lasts.
I discovered this website, yourlighterside.com, where there are tons of incredible low-carb whole-food recipes. I made "bread" yesterday with whipped eggs, cream cheese, and cream of tartar. We had them with our hamburgers, and my hubby loved them- he ate more of them than I did! Tonight I am trying this pizza crust made from minced chicken breast & mozzarella. It's supposed to turn out crispy and everything; I sure hope it does! We're going to top it with bacon and mushroom, mmm. Off to the kitchen... my, this way of eating has made me so domesticated :)
