Low Carb Diva

August 31, 2011 Day 29


My weight has remained the same since my last post. I have reread parts of the Atkins book but have yet to see the fast losses that are almost promised by Dr. Atkins.

I will keep plugging away but can't believe that losing at least one pound a week is too much to ask.

Maybe I am eating to many calories. I am not sure if I want to get into calorie counting and all of that.

August 26, 2011 Day 3

Hope everyone in the path of Hurricane Irene stays safe. I remember using potential snow storms, ice storms, etc as an excuse to eat junk food. But today I realize that this is not an excuse or reason to eat off plan. If you are in the storm track range prepare early with low carb foods that you made ahead of time.

My weight is still the same but probably from tom. I'll check in 5 days.

August 23, 2011 Day 6

Weight loss the same this week. Thanks to a pizza and cheese bread fest on Friday Night. Truthfully the pizza was not as good as I remembered (and no I am not just saying that). My weight was the same the next day. Up almost 4 the following day and today it is back down to 196. I expect that by Sunday my weight will also be down at least a pound or two.

Hubby also had the pizza but did not weigh until today and is now down 2 more pounds.

The end of August through New Years is one of the most dangerous times of the year for me. There is something about the Fall weather and the impending holiday season that just makes me go a little crazy. The cooler weather makes me want to bake and nest. Plus the stores are filled with fun size candy bars, holiday cookies, cakes, and more.

This year I am determined to break this cycle and ignore all the temptations and end the year close to goal or at goal! Who's with me?

Woke up this morning to a two pound whoosh! So now I am at 196 pounds. How awesome is that! Here's to a 2-3 pound weight loss every week. Who can say why maybe it is the resuming of peak 8 for 10 minutes a day. Maybe it is lowering the protein. Maybe it is because there was a full moon last night. One thing is for sure next week I could stall again or I could lose even more weight. A 10 pound woosh would be amazing.

Want to try something delicious to eat with your salads? Try some fresh mozzarella. I a m not talking about the part skim shredded type mozzarella but those balls of cheese that they sell in the deli section of your supermarket. It is pretty pricey but the cheese is so tasty and melts in your mouth like butter.

Weight loss this morning was 198 so I am down a pound. Although I would like to lose 3 pounds a week I'll take it. Apparently my body has decided that 1/2 - 1 pound a week is all it can handle.

I did notice when I run my hand through my hair that I get like a bunch that seems to be falling out. At this rate I may be bald by the end of the summer. I know weight loss is a stress on the body so I am not worried about it.

Anyone else have this problem?
