I have a dream
Weight: 14 st 5.5
Cigarettes: what's a cigarette ?
Alcohol: there is no drink apart from water
Mood: Altered.
Day 5 now of the Atkins diet. It's...interesting. My body, used to copious amounts of sugar from fruit juices, chocolate and ice cream is suddenly going cold turkey, denied all carbs.
So I wake up this morning from a dream of stuffing ice cream and haribou sweets (why those - why not chocolate, which would have been much more satisfying ?) down my face. I think that's my first ever food cravings dream.
It's difficult to know what's affecting my mind the most - nicotine withdrawal symptoms or sugar cravings. Whatever, I feel like death. Still, I'm sure once I up the exercise regime, all this will be worthwhile - I just need to replace all the "bad" drugs with a massive kick of endorphins.
January is meant to be hell. Anyway, just over 6 weeks until March, and spring !

Keep up with the good habits dude! Courage!! :)
Lots of love
Good luck my man. I'm also on something of a health-kick. No smokes for seven weeks, gym 4-5 times a week. I'm not quitting drinking, but consuming much, much less and feeling better for it. The weight is coming down too.
Not sure about Atkins though. Tried it myself and, yes, lost half a stone pretty quickly but ended up so bored with the food choices I quit it.
Glad to see you blogging again...Made me laugh about your daughter reading Bridget Jones
