01/09/2005: "Diet Day 6"

The first weekend of the diet has been a bit of a struggle. It's easy to make excuses for not exercising, but I got up and did my Nordic Tracking on Saturday and Sunday, and I felt better afterwards. I always know I'll feel better after exercising, but somehow it's still hard to get up and do it!!

I had rotisserie chicken and steak medallions on Saturday, and leftovers today, so I can't claim to be suffering too much on the Atkins diet! Only problem is that my husband baked fresh bread, and I have to limit my enjoyment of the bread to inhaling its scent. Not quite as satisfying!

Tonight I'll put my willpower to the test when I play cards at a friend's house. I'm bringing my own Diet Rite soda, and I'll stick to the Atkins-friendly foods like cheese and meat.

We'll see how I did when I weigh in tomorrow...
