Today is the day! It's the day that I decided to get back on track tomorrow! Today, I'm finishing off the food I won't be able to eat anymore. I cooked spaghetti squash, made low-carb spaghetti sauce, and cooked fresh string beans from my garden - all ready to start eating tomorrow. All of the bad foods are out of the house (except for ice cream, which I'm not going to eat after today) and Diet Coke (but I'm finishing off the last of the 2-liter bottles today - starting tomorrow, it will be one small bottle a day AFTER I have had at least half of my water consumed). I've got my Atkins Chocolate Coconut bars ready for "desserts." I've gotten all my cravings out of my system - got 50 chicken drumettes for the family yesterday, and I'm' finishing those up now. Starting tomorrow, I will record everything I eat or drink, I will keep my net carbs under 30 grams, which will INCLUDE lots of vegetables, but I will be staying away from fruit for awhile. I will get 60% of my calories from fat and will get in 20+ grams of Fiber every day. I'll either swim, or walk, or do my PT exercises every day. I will start with an RDI of 1,800 (on which I can still lose weight), but I will decrease it by 50 calories a week until it is back down to 1,600/day. I will measure out my water tonight, and make iced green tea in the morning to get in my 64 oz of water a day (up from ZERO ounces lately!) SO, that's my plan, and I'm sticking to it. July is a new month and the RE-start of the new (old) me! @Sharon's Victory, @butterfliesrfree and @Pixie61 - get ready, 'cuz here I come!
