Hey everyone. I’m still here.
I’ve been extremely busy lately, so I haven’t posted for a few days. I just wanted to update everyone. I’m still stickin’ with the diet. No cheating. I’ve been eating meat, low carb bread and sugar free candy/ice cream and sugar free/caffeine free soda.
My experience with the Atkins diet is that it always takes a few days to work my way down to the low level of carbs required for induction. Usually it starts by just cutting out sweets, bread, pasta, etc.
There is still the occasional sauce or low carb bread or beans . . . but all the really bad stuff is gone!
The first day is always the toughest . . .
Carb deprivation, especially when you’re addicted, is rough on the body. I didn’t cheat, however. I stuck with eggs for breakfast, a meat salad for lunch, hot dogs for dinner and a protein bar for a snack.

You know . . . Accountability is huge.
On May 16, 2010, the city sewer backed up in our house. Over 250 gallons of sewer water was pumped out of our basement. The clean up crew came in and cut out all of the contaminated carpet and dry wall. Because it was the city’s fault, they were going to pay for everything . . . the demolition, the clean up and the restoration. It was a city contractor who caused the problem. The contractor’s insurance company is trying to get out of paying for it. Long story short, our basement is still torn apart.
