My mission statement: to refocus my low carb efforts, as my carb creep has led to a worsening of health conditions that brought me to the low-carb world to begin with.

(Specifically, I'm popping up ovarian cysts like mad. This becomes a vicious cycle, because the cysts cause estrogen surges which cause weight gain, hunger, and carb cravings. This leads to more cheating, which leads to unstable insulin levels, which leads to more cysts. So the only way to bring it all to a screeching halt is to get strict again.)

Okay, this is what I want to accomplish:

- get at least 64 oz of water per day.
- get my supplements in
- keep up my resistance training
- stay at an 'intervention' level of carbs, which is less than 40 g per day.
- get back into my vegetable habit
- limit cheese to 3 or 4 oz per day

Specific things I want to do:

- drink a bottle of water at work before indulging in the diet coke. That will be my 'reward', if I feel like having it
- no cheating on the junk food at work. The chocolate chips that fall to the bottom of the bag DO count.
- consume at least an Atkins induction level of veggies
- measure my quantities rather than eyeball, and keep track on fitday

Other notes:

- I'm giving glutamine a try. I work out in the mornings before work, so the post-workout glutamine should not only help prevent muscle soreness, but also prevent cravings. I hope.
