Week 1

I am 4.5 pounds lighter today than I was a week ago.  It is a small thing, but it is a start.  Beyond that, I feel pretty good.  My energy is up, and I am not generally hungry.  I eat a carton of Kroger's Carb Smart yogurt for breakfast along with a scoop of Unjury Chocolate Splendor protein powder mixed into a glass of Silk Milk (Vanilla, Unsweetened).  At lunch, I eat romaine lettuce and tuna.  Dinner is usually chicken or fish and vegetables.  I miss my pasta and potatoes and bread, but it is manageable.  This beginning phase  is supposed to last one more week, and then I should begin to add in more carbohydrates -- 5 grams at a time, as long as I keep losing weight.  That is the plan until I reach my "goal" weight (whatever that might be).  I am trying not to look that far ahead yet.
