Atkins Day Four

Today is my fourth day doing Atkins, so a little over a quarter done with Induction. I feel good today. I woke up early, I had a lot of energy, and felt really clear-headed for being up so early. I don't want to ascribe that to Atkins directly, because it could just be a function of doing something for myself and losing weight in general.

I've been hearing a lot of concerns from friends and colleagues about my health while on Atkins, so I'm going to schedule an appointment with my family doctor for next week. It's probably time for my yearly physical anyway.

Last night I was really jonesing for a dessert. I was going nuts thinking about all of the sweet junk food my wife's got stocked in the house, so I kept eating small portions of lunch meat until I wasn't in anyway hungry. This morning I had a twinge of craving for chocolate, but I'm okay.

I need to start exercising more regularly, but I don't have the space at home. It seems like every corner of my house is jammed with junk leading up to our neighborhood yard sale, and I cancelled our gym membership trying to save money. So I need a place to work out. I'd also love to find someone who'll work out with me and motivate me.

I'm down another pound today, so that's awesome.

All in all I feel great.
