Day 7 on Atkins 20

Last day of my first week. I am feeling more energetic and just better. I don't feel as bloated, like my insides are trying to explode. It helps to feel like I am shrinking. I can't wait for weigh in tomorrow morning to see what my measurements have done. My wife said she can see in my face a difference already. Not bad for 1 week. Today was a real test for me. I was exposed to not 1 but 2 celebrations that included deserts and cake. I wasn't really tempted at all. All in all it was a wonderful day with not much to report. My wife did try a recipe she found on Pinterest. She made Ranch Popcorn chicken which was coated with almond flour, ranch dressing mix and parmesan cheese. It was very good and will definitely be on the menu in the future, although I have to admit I was a little leery eating anything called flour. But it was fine. I have included a picture below.
