Still no running - but week into atkins

I started on the atkins diet last monday (it's sunday now). It took a few days to get it dialed in. One of the keys is a good breakfast -- I recommend three eggs. They've got 80 calories each, and they will fill you up. When I don't have eggs for breakfast, I'm hungry all morning. That leads to snacking and bad things. You can also have a three egg omelette with melted cheese inside...yummy and totally atkins compliant.
Last night, we went out to Romio's Pizza in Greenwood and had "Atkins Pizza" where they put the toppings on a plate and heat it up. It's not super atkins compliant because there is lots of tomato sauce. you can ask them to make it with garlic oil base rather than tomato sauce. Then it's pretty atkins compliant.
After a week I'm down from 206.8 to 203.8. So not so bad, but not great. Hopefully I can get out and jog at least a little bit sometime this weekend.
