kicked my butt

Started the Atkins diet this weekend. The first two days are supposed to be the toughest as your body goes into a sort of detox mode. We began the diet on Saturday, so no ill affects then. Sunday we woke up and Laura was experiencing flu like symptoms. I was very tired and had a headache. So we didn't do a whole lot during the day. Laura got better throughout the day. Around 8 I started feeling a little sickly. Then I really started feeling bad about a 1/2 hour later. I went to bed at 9pm and slept until 7:30. I feel better today but still a little tired and a slight headache. After 3 days we are supposed to feel much better and some people even feel a euphoric high. That would be cool. The eating is a little harder just because things aren't as convenient. I haven't really craved anything yet, but now that I'm back at work I wish I could drink a dew or something. I packed a lot of stuff for eating today. It's nice that we can eat as much meat as we want, but that stuff is harder to prepare. Plus no bread makes it hard to eat a sandwich. Oh well. Just two more weeks of the first phase and then we can eat nuts or something.
