I’m so sick of going to work and seeing everyone eating the stuff I’m not allowed to eat. It really really sucks, but I’ve been good all week. None of the stuff I’m not allowed to eat, so we’ll see what happens. Friday is my sticking point, because that’s payday and I’m not home to [...]


Here we go again. Another day of food journaling and missing out on the foods that Atkins says I can have, but my doctor says I can’t. I can’t wait until he lets me have my food back. LOL
Morning
Atkins Advantage Morning Breakfast Bar – Cinnamon Bun Flavor
Atkins Advantage Shake – Chocolate Delight Flavor
Afternoon

A few months ago, I purchased Leslie Sansone’s book, Walk Away the Pounds. At the back of the book was a cardboard envelope that contained the Walk Away the Pounds One Mile Walk DVD. This DVD is amazing. All of the moves are very easy and if you can’t do one of them or don’t [...]


I Did It

21Aug07

I exercised again today. I actually managed to do it 2 days in a row. I did, again, the one mile walk DVD from Leslie Sansone, and this time, I added in the extra movements…the side steps, the kicks, the knee lifts, the kickbacks, and the arm reaches. I am sweaty, and thirsty, and have [...]

Losing weight that is. I’ve come to see just how much people focus on food. Think about this, 99% of the candles I find, are food scented. Strawberry, vanilla, cinnamon bun, peach pie, strawberry shortcake, toasted marshmallow, banana nut bread, berry patch, cinnamon, and buttercream. Yes, those are the candles I own. I’ve also seen [...]


Moved

18Aug07

I know, I know…… your links to your blogs/blog directories are missing. Well, that’s because I went through them and as I added them to the NEW Dropping Off, I deleted them.
You can now find me at Dropping Off the Pounds. If you want the url: http://droppingoff.charity-lynn.com. A custom theme will be coming shortly. [...]


Sorry, I’m a day late with the weigh in. LOL
Starting Weight: 321
Yesterday’s Weight: 317
Loss: 4 lbs
BMI: 46.8
Yay! I lost 4 lbs AND my BMI dropped by almost a full point! I’m so happy! Now next week really starts the challenge…. half the things I am allowed on Atkins, I’m not allowed by my [...]


Atkins Day #5

18Aug07

I cheated. I am not guilty. I deserve a treat once in a while.
My food journal looks a bit rough today. But you know what? I stepped on the scale at work and I’d lost weight. I celebrated. I’m not going to be ashamed of that. If I gain because of it, I’ll [...]


Atkins Day #4

17Aug07

Well, here I am, day 4 of the Atkins diet. Today has been kind of rough as after my afternoon meal, I had a long-lasting bought of diarrhea. Bleh. Not my idea of fun at all. In any case, here is my food journal for today. I had nothing but water to drink today.
Morning
