progress

I remember now how much fun {not} the Atkins diet is...  boring, high fat, no carb diet.  However, the amazing results it provides for me are worth it every time.  I know it's mostly water weight, believe me, I know.  It cures me from my sweet cravings though and that's all that matters.  I'm down a few pounds in a week and it feels incredible.  Just enough to kick-start me back into where I need to be!

I have cheated a few times since starting a week ago and still saw a loss.  My pants are a little looser and the bloating is gone. 

It's good.  All good.  12 pounds to go!

Back on Track

I started the Atkins diet again this week.  I haven't done it in 10 years.  Believe it or not, it was the only thing that worked for me back then and I'm starting to feel/see the success once again, even three days into it.

I am a sugar addict.  Not necessarily a carb-lover (cured myself of almost all pasta during my first go'round with Atkins).  However, put a pastry in front of me, or a box of candy - and I'm ALL in. 

Kick-starting my metabolism with Atkins is the ONLY way I know how to stave off those cravings and find my willpower again.

Happy to report, it's working!!  Even with all of the stress in my life right now (in the middle of changing companies), I am determined.  And yes, I do see the irony in the fact that I'm going from a med-tech company to the food industry, believe me.  More temptation awaits!

No time like the present to stay motivated!

3500 calories = 1 pound of fat

Whooops!

Someone pushed me over. The wagon tipped.
  I've fallen and I can't get up.

ok, ok.
no more excuses.

So, I've started over today.
Easter behind us, even with the temptation in the house.

I vow to make big changes in the next two weeks.  Five pounds WLL be gone.
