Exciting Diet Stuff

I love Dr. Atkins.

We are 1 month and 3 weeks into our low-carb diet. We indulged in extra carbs on Christmas day, but then went right back to it. I have lost 14 pounds. I have met my first goal. I would love to lose about 5 more pounds, but am very, very satisfied with my progress. If those last few pounds come off gradually but steadily, I’ll be thrilled. We are no longer on induction, but are trying not to eat too many carbs in any given day. 

Ian’s really done well. I won’t reveal his stats, but let’s just say they are impressive. He has really taken to our new way of eating and says he feels fantastic. What’s more, he has been inspired to try new recipes and new foods. His cooking is wonderful and he cooks for me all the time! We have recently enjoyed salmon with hollandaise sauce; scallops with leeks and spinach; omelets with bacon, sour cream, and green onions; steaks; chicken stir fry; and much more. Go Ian, go Ian!

I’ve been walking more and am thinking about investigating a personal trainer.
