I haven't started the full induction phase of Adkins and I'm not sure I'll ever get to a state of ketosis this time. I just love fruit and veggies too much and crave them constantly. So far, I've stopped eating bread and pasta and anything with flour or sugar. I gave up beer and when I do drink, which is rarely, I am drinking vodka and soda water, which is carb free.

I noticed over the weekend that my underwear, pants and skirts are falling off. A skirt that fit me perfectly 2 weeks ago is seriously falling right off my hips. I weighed myself this morning and I lost 5 pounds since I last weighed myself 4 days ago. I would worry that this was water weight, but our scale measured hydration, body fat and calculates bone density. My hydration level is perfect and my body fat dropped about 2%.

Feeling encouraged by my results so far, I am certainly going to continue. I just made myself an egg white omelette using Egg Beaters, because they are so darn convienent. I added some tarragon, Jane's Mixed Up Pepper and a slice of swiss cheese. I made the omelette thin so that it looked like there was alot of food on my plate, but seriously, I am full and satisfied.

Now, I'm just hoping to get some yoga in today. I feel like my muscles really want to stretch and my joints actually don't hurt this morning.
