Happy Easter & Passover everyone! Be strong today! This is a long one as I'm needing a little extra support this week to get back on top of things. No More Excuses from my mouth!!!
Today I weighed in at 193.5 lbs which is a half pound loss. I didn't measure in this morning because I was rather hung-over. I am happy because I still lost weight, but I know it could've been a lot lower. I went to the doctor this week for my first physical in a long time (on Friday) so I weighed myself every day and on Wednesday I was at 190.5 lbs. The reason I didn't turn such a great loss today is because I saw how great I was doing... SOOO I cheated a couple days celebrating my 10th anniversary. We had drinks and nacho chips on 2 occasions. I know it will probably slow my progress for the next couple days/weeks but I only get to celebrate that kind of anniversary once. There's my last excuse!
Now with that said I am back to a modified induction. No more than 20 carbs a day, but I'm still including some OWL ingredients like extra veggies/dairy in my diet (I love the low carb yogurt for a quick meal and green beans during dinner). Just a note: I have noticed that since I've cut out the Atkins products, I feel less bloated and have less cravings than before; even while eating low carb tortillas. Those products weren't around when Dr. Atkins originally started the diet, so I'm starting to think their hoopla is all from the company after his passing, but to each their own. If they work for you great, unfortunately I've found they don't work for me.
SOO new goal: I have until June 21st to fit a size 14 dress (I bought it over the weekend to really give me motivation). It's hanging on my bedroom door so every time I walk in and out, it's a reminder of what I'm working towards. When I started this diet back in February I fit a size 22W pants and very uncomfortably; they were tight on me. My tops were XXL. Now I'm just a couple inches away from fitting into a size 16 pants comfortably. I am wearing size 17 pants and L shirts from the misses department now. Good-bye Big Woman's sizes.
So that is my thought for the day. Have a great Holiday everyone!
