Day 15

Day 15 (Monday October 15, 2007)

Today was a much better day for me than yesterday. I am back on track and was really careful with what I consumed today and of course I have been keeping up with exercising. Today I did 55 minutes of Iron Yoga and played table tennis for about 30 minutes. I wish I could figure out the calories I am burning, but suppose that does not matter on the Atkins diet or for someone who is hypoglycemic. I did not weigh myself today in fear of what the scale might say, but I suppose it is best not to weigh yourself daily anyhow. I am still trying to be less ‘scale obsessed’ but it is harder than sticking to Atkins, LOL! I am at the point where I am weighing myself every other day which is an improvement but as with this whole process, baby steps seem to work best for me. I do have one concern at the moment. Today I noticed that I am emitting a body odor. It is the same odor I encountered when I did Atkins several years ago. Granted I am scent sensitive so many smells others might not notice are strong smelling to me. I assume it is hereditary as my mother has the same heightened sensitivity to smell. In any instance, it is not pleasant and as I recall, the smell remained with me for the entire time I followed the Atkins regimen…Oh Boy!
