All is well w/ my WoE! I am enjoying being on phase 2 - and I seem to be adjusting well. My first transition was adding more carbs thru vegetables. My second transition was adding almonds - 1 oz per day. I am still keeping my carbs at around 25 net per day - will be adding a bit more, soon. I am finding that I love almonds! I read in my Atkins book to avoid snacking from the container and instead, to measure out 1 ounce portions in small baggies. This idea has worked wonderfully for me. It's so easy to grab and go and know I will have a healthy snack when I need to rev up my metabolsim.

I leave tomorrow to go on a much-needed vacation with Jim to Historic Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. We will enjoy staying at(timeshare) -the beautiful at Kings Creek Plantation. Two other couples will be joining us for the weekend in the lovely 3BR luxury cottage; and then Jim and I will stay along for a few more days all by ourselves. Today is busy with all the many tasks necessary to complete before leaving town. So much to do - so little time! (We actually were supposed to be on the road right NOW, but delayed our trip one more day to tackle more of our to-do list.)

I will be staying on plan while traveling - for sure! I am even bringing a cooler with atkins-friendly foods so that food-prep will be a cinch! Nothing will deter me from my plan. I am focused and have found too much success thus far to waste a week's progress and give up on my eating plan for the convenience of taking "off" - being away from my "controlled enviroment". I am in control - I tell my body what to do - it's not the other way around.

Today is a great day! I won't let anyone rain on my parade. I will go over any obtacle that comes my way! I will go under, I will go around, I will go thru any mountain that stands in my way because I am highly motivated, absolutely dedicated and extremely successful!! YESSS!!

Don't tell God how big your mountain is - Tell your mountain how big your God is!
