Feeling Great

Let it be said that, although I really haven't seen any appreciable weight loss four days in, I feel better than I've felt in I don't know how long. The tingling in my feet and hands (which was almost certainly diabetic neuropathy) has entirely disappeared. This was a constant nuisance before. I noticed today I sort of bounded up the dreaded 6 steep stairs at work, where normally I've had to drag myself up them every morning. Also, my concentration at work seems to be much better, which is a big deal when your programming computers.

Best of all, so far I don't really miss the carbs too much. Our babysitter made the kids a cake yesterday, and while I did look sort of wistfully at it it really wasn't a big deal. I'm not really missing the Coca-Cola at all, which has never been true on high-carb diets.
