Day 15 means that my 2-week induction is over… or at least it would mean that if I were truly sticking to the Atkins diet formula, which I am not.  Don’t yell at me, okay?  If what I’m doing doesn’t work, fine, I’ll consider sticking to Atkins exactly, but for right now, this is working for me.  And it’s my informed choice. 

Anyway… I had told my husband that as soon as I got done with the first two weeks, that I would go to the movies with him.  I just could not imagine watching a movie without popcorn!  At 6g of net carbs per cup, I figured I could “save up” during the day so I could munch without worrying too much.

Well I got a call from Hubby this morning.  He was at work and he like NEVER calls me from work so of course I immediately thought something was wrong and picked up my cell phone and said, a little breathlessly, “Hey, what’s up?”

He said he was getting off work early and that he’d be picking me up from work at 2:30 this afternoon.  “We’re starting our date early, so be ready - oh, and don’t eat lunch because I’m taking you out for a late lunch.”  LOL!  This is so unlike him, you have no idea.  So I ate breakfast but didn’t eat lunch (had a SF Jello to hold me over) and sure enough, at a little past 2:30 he picked me up.  All my co-workers were oohing and ahhing and saying, “Your date is here!” 

We had a great lunch at one of our favorite restaurants (I had a salad with grilled chicken, it was awesome) and then went to see Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D.  We both loved the movie but then that’s the kind of movie we both like.

And yeah, I snacked on popcorn.  And it was delicious!

A very good day.  :oD
