I study esoterica, and have all of my life. I draw a Tarot card for the day, to get beeter acquainted wiht the Tarot. I read the Cosmic Tribe for deck for myself, and other decks for other people.
Last Friday, I drew 10 of Swords- like it says, 10 swords sticking in one person, quite dead. Cosmic Tribe sugar coats it a bit, giving you "the end of illusions"
So that's why I'm here, right now, instead of eating another box of Zingers.

First day Induction Adkins style
I like meat, so I am usually fine for a couple of weeks.
I find myself strangely empty, but not exactly hungry. I haven't eaten since around 10:00 this morning, (I do on purpose snacks, and schedule them, as I tend to do better when i feel its only a small amount of time to the next time I eat) and I am planning to have lunch. Its not that I miss being hungry, its just that the state I'm in now feels odd.
I haven't had any caffeine all day, but I am not at all tired. I walked 50 minutes at the mall at 11:00, so shouldn't I feel...

Ok, I'm tired. My face is drawn, I'm kind of gray. My nervous system feels maxed out. My customary under eye circles are a lot worse. I have a few ideas why. For one I put my body into shock by abruptly changing what I was putting in it. Another is that I'm losing water weight quickly, and any toxins or medications that are being flushed out, are probably affecting me to some extent. I am not attempting to eat low calorie, but most likely my calories are less by default.

So I'm back...
I went to the beach this weekend with my daughter and 7 of her friends for her 18th birthday. I ended up cheating a little... I baked her favorite cake and made frosting, and while I was frosting the cake, I had to taste some. Probably more than just a taste....

Oh well, I started back up on the diet again yesterday and did very well with about 25 carbs total... even while at the beach on vacation!

I haven't lost as much as others seem to ~ but that is always the case, I must be one of those "hard to lose weight" people... totally...

I worked out on Friday and then fluffed off Saturday. Didn't work out Sunday but went and helped my mom pack so was doing something a little bit physical.

Today I worked on my upper body and had a great deal of stamina. Then I thought I would try and stretch myself on the treadmill and went one whole hour.

In total, 65 minutes on the treadmill burned 522 calories not including how every much on the strength training side.

This week I'm trying to be a little extra strict with myself because I'm off to the Smoky's next week and wanted to not only build up my walking but also shed a little bit too.

I think both are possible....
