Atkins Journey

Well, Carolyn and I after returning home from our recent trip decided it was time to commit to losing some weight. So on Wednesday we began the Atkins diet, with plenty of protein and vegetables, but at least during this initial phase with no fruits, pasta, bread, sweets, alcohol or caffeine. Wednesday afternoon I had a real drop in my level of alertness. It would have been extremely easy to put my head down and take a nap, but I think that is my body adapting to a new regiment with a low level of caffeine.

The challenge will be twofold: to consistently stay on the diet; to begin exercising on a regular basis. Right now I'm drinking more water in a day than I used to drink in weeks! Now, where was the gym I belong to?
