I Love to Recommit

Hmm, as I say in my title. I do enjoy recomitting to my diet. The family (except bro) is going out of town next week, so I’ll be able to resist the prodigious amounts of fast food/unhealthy snacks that come into the house. I restart Atkins tomorrow and will cook or start several dishes tonight after work. Yum.  I’m still looking forward to the arrival of my bento. I think good proportions for a low carb lifestyle and a bento is 3 veggies/fruit to 2 meat to 1 cheese and leave the grains for later and only a certain time of day. Now, when I eat a lifestyle heavier in fats, I do feel a bit slower since I suppose it takes more energy to digest it all, so I’m also going to stay away from heavy cream and too rich sauces. I’m usually happy to just eat lighter fare and focus on good fats. I’m simply going to eshew grains and fruit for the next 2 weeks. I’m also going to have to drink more water, a 20 ounce in the morning and at night and another duing the day in addition to other drinking and I should take my multivitamin and once in awhile take airborne just for fun :) to make sure I’m getting enough of the good stuff. I’ve also been taking Luna on evening walks and will continue that for 2 weeks and after induction, I will take on more exercise.
