[tracilicious]

Kevy, I've noticed that when I eat badly I have absolutely no motivation or energy to exercise. You might find that after a week or so you feel like taking that walk. I don't believe that Atkins is healthy in the long run, but maybe this change will be the first step towards a truly healthy lifestyle.

I woke up four pounds lighter this morning. I don't consider it real weight loss, because I had tons of soda this weekend and was retaining water like crazy, but it's nice to see the scale moving. It motivates me to eat well again today.

As for exercise, I have a really hard time fitting that in. I'm taking care of babies from 7am until 11pm (Indi and baby Jade are on opposite schedules), so practically the only exercise I can get is the mile walk to the park at night. I'll take it where I can get it though. I'm going to try to fit in a pilates video a few times a week at least.

How are you doing with the cravings, Kevy? I had more dark chocolate than I had planned yesterday, but still less sugar than I normally would eat. My savior the first week I did atkins was nuts. It satisfied the carb craving a little bit but wasn't actually cheating. You can make my chicken tortilla soup without the corn and it's atkins friendly.
