I started my one-week low-carb diet on Friday (today is Sunday) and it’s going fine. One week of anything is generally pretty easy to manage, since you know it isn’t forever. Last night the hubby and I went on a date night to our favorite steak place and I enjoyed a delicious bacon-wrapped filet mignon. Who needs bread when there’s filet mignon on the menu?

The trickiest part of low-carb, for me, has always been eating right at work. It isn’t impossible, by any means, it’s just hard to always have meats, cheeses, and fresh veggies on hand when you don’t have a fridge. But again, it’s only for a week this time so I’m sure I can make it work.

In other exciting news, Macy’s was having a sale yesterday and I picked up a NutriBullet for $100. I never got on the juice craze so this is my first individual-sized blender. I’m kind of excited to see what I can do with it. I’m actually looking forward to having protein shakes on a regular basis. I have a feeling that will change after my liquid diet starts on Friday, but for now I think it sounds convenient and easy.

The only other news that’s fit to print today are my starting statistics. Since this is (theoretically) the largest I will ever be again, I took this opportunity to weigh and measure and take photos. You can check them out on the Stats page.

Here’s to 5 more days of bacon, cheese, and broccoli!
