Today, 7/2/03, I started the Atkins diet. I don't have a book yet, I am going by the List from the Atkins website of approved foods for Induction. I may be on Induction for a while, if I can stand it, as I have a bit of weight to lose. I guess the anonimity of it all helps, because I intend on being brutally honest here, something I would NEVER do in "real life".
I am 31 years old, married, and have 2 daughters ages 5 and 2.5. The most I ever weighed, while pregnant with my second daughter, was 245 lbs. I got on track and lost 30 lbs after she was born. I did this by excercising and eating "right". And I have done a great job in maintaining that weight loss, although today was the first day I excercised in over two years!
The Nitty Gritty, so to speak (pinky swear you will never tell as I tend to "hide" my weight pretty well!):
I weighed in today at 215 lbs
My measurements are:
Bust 46
Stomach 45
Hips 47
Thighs 27.5
Upper Arms 16
Neck 15
That is all I measured, that is enough! To think that when I met my hubby I weighed 135 lbs - - I can't blame this on him though, or can I?????
Today I intended on waking up early to excercise before DDs woke up, didn't happen, they woke up when my alarm went off. I still decided to put on a Richard Simmons tape even though they were awake. It was annoying, but I did finish. (20 minute workout) The worst part is my 2 year old telling me "scuse me, Momma, can't see" because I was in front of the TV (working out, mind you!) It is hard to try to explain something to a child WHILE working out, and I didn't want to lose my momentum. Anyway, tomorrow will hopefully be easier!
My Meals today:
Breakfast, which I ate at 11:30 am (because I just am NOT hungry before that) 2 scrambled eggs
Lunch, ate at 2:30pm Salad of Romaine lettuce, mushrooms, celery, cucumbers, topped with vinegar and oil.
Dinner, ate at 6:30pm 2 med. hamburger patties, wrapped in lettuce, with tomato & mayo and 3 oz asparagus with butter
Snack, ate at 10:30pm cute little recipe I got while searching for low carb desserts. 2oz cream cheese, 1 TBS unsweetened cocoa, and 4 packets Splenda (called for nuts to top, but I didn't have them). A great recipe to curve the need for sweets with ingredients that are easy to have on hand!
And, of course 64+ ounces of water!
I feel good about my choices today and I feel confident that I can do this. I don't feel hungry (did before I ate each meal though!)
I CAN DO THIS!!! I have to keep a positive frame of mind and STAY busy. My mini goal is to get down to 195, my long term goal is to weigh between 125-140 by 10/23/04 when we take our first Disney cruise AND celebrate our 10th Anniversary.
I will post meals and excercise as often as possible. I will post weight loss once per week.
That's all for now!
