Controlled Carbs!

Well doing more exercise and eating less fat and sugar has just kept me at my current weight of 262 lbs. This is very frustrating so I made a decision. I'm going ATKINS! I did this 7 years ago and it worked but I just didn't take time to find my Controlled Carbohydrate level and went off the wagon. I started the Atkin's diet yesterday, August 31st, 2010. My weight was 262 lbs. Since I drive a bus with people's lives in my hand I had to make sure that I wouldn't have any sugar imbalance in my blood stream. This type of imbalance could cause fainting and other symtoms. Fortunately I didn't have much trouble with the sugar but I really did miss the caffienne. During the first part "induction", one is supposed to stay off caffienne. Staying off caffienne for a bus driver is tough. Yesterday was a slow rainy day which gave me time to think about how much I missied coffee. I hung in there and made it home. Carmen made me a great salad with tomatoes, feta cheese and romaine lettuce. The dressing was excellent as well.
