Report Day

Weight - 246 Wow, I have lost 7 lb. I can't believe it. It wasn't that difficult to stay on this diet...most difficult not using much (not suppose to use any) vinegar or salt. Vinegar is something I have always used plenty of especially when i am dieting. So far the lack of milk/cheese has not been an issue and whenever I have done the low carb thing I have gone without grains. That never seems to bother me...except for Hamburgers or fresh baked goods.

Pain - Feet were really bad on Friday but not too bad all weekend. I am having trouble with my Sciatica today, my right leg and knee have been hurting since I got up this morning. I have been putting ice on my lower back.

Interesting development - About two days ago I stopped feeling itchy. I have no other explanation for it, other than the diet change, so we will see where it goes.

mood - Good/ happy...very happy really that I have managed to lose 7 pounds and have been eating until full.
