What to say. The first week of induction is behind me. I never strayed, not once. My eating has been perfect, water intake has been stellar (above 100oz per day) I have gotten a decent amount of exercise. What did the scale have to say this morning? Down 3 lbs.

I know it may sound like I am complaining or that I am being impatient, but I am. I feel like I have been so good! The first few days as my water weight disappeared, I was so excited with what the first total week on induction would hold. Now, knowing that I only lost 3 lbs I feel like I am wasting time? What�s the point of all the struggle? At work, we have been rather busy due to all the hurricanes, they have been trying to bribe people into working overtime with snacks, sugar laden niceties to keep everyone pumped. Today was a managers birthday and so they had a cake and made Chili fricken hot dogs, including all the chips, Hawaiian punch, and all kinds of sugary treats.

*sigh* yes, I am a little bitter. I needed to vent a little. Feeling better now.

I know I need to remind myself that it takes time, that I have been exercising more than before and my body is making adjustments for that. I know that my period is soon and I may be preparing for that. I guess all in all I feel pretty damn good. Besides the weight being slightly down, I think my mood is better. I know my blood sugars have been doing better, and yes, I know this without checking them. I have slept a little better and last but certainly not least I have lost that bloaty, gassy, just plain crappy feeling that I get when I eat badly.

Yes folks, just the fact that I recognize this has got to be progress.
