Subject: I love new beginnings

June is our chance to really make some new headway. I've been essentially doing Atkins for the entire time I've been low carbing. I still don't think there is a lot of difference between Protein Power and Atkins, but I have been re-reading the PP book and realize that there is an additional emphasis on getting "enough" protein on PP.

I figure on PP I need to eat about 80 grams (at least) of protein a day. I'm not sure if I have been doing that on Atkins. The idea is to make sure you eat enough protein to maintain your lean body mass so that you will lose weight, but not muscle. So I'm going to be aiming for that in the next month.

Another change I'm going to be making is a little one. I started yesterday. When I wake up in the morning before getting out of bed, I have been doing some stretching excercises. Yesterday did some straight leg raises, not a lot, just a few. I figure excercise should start small. Any additional muscle mass you can accumulate will help in weight loss. I really didn't think I was doing much, but this morning the muscles were a little sore, so I guess I accomplished something.

Scale is down a little this morning, I'm ready for June! Let's GO!
