This happened the last time I was on Atkins, and it means I’m not eating enough veggies to keep things moving. Ugh.

It also means my weight is up. My lowest recently puts me at 7lbs down, so we’ll see what happens after the ex-lax kicks in. Maybe it’s been a few days coming and I’ll lose more than expected…wishful thinking, I know.

I was up a little bit weight-wise prior to the slip-ups, and thankfully I gained only half a pound as a result. I spent Wednesday-today (Sunday) eating off-plan because my boyfriend was in town, and of course Thanksgiving. I ate foods higher in carbs than I should have, but I did attempt to keep track in the back of my mind.

Tomorrow starts another day one of a clean week of Induction. My goal is a full two weeks, and then see what happens from there.

I’m doing Atkins (don’t tell me that it’s unhealthy–read the book and you’ll see it’s not just a bacon-and-eggs diet). I’m already down 6 pounds in the past week (week 1 of Induction) and I’m looking forward to a successful second week.

I’ve also started a second blog, where I’ll be sharing recipes that are simple for college students like myself, some tips from the “trenches”, and just helping people blend their college lifestyle with their low-carb one and to prove that they can work hand-in-hand, despite the stereotypical college diet of macaroni and cheese, pizza, fast-food, and beer.

Feel free to ask any questions on either blog; I’m more than happy to share.
