Mediocre Monday

Today, I am feeling 'blah'.  Not because it's time to stand on the scale again, rather because I think I am coming down with a cold.  But I will talk about three things today.  The first is...... (drum roll, please) ......

Today's Weigh In:

Just Another Manic Monday

As I stand on the scale to see my progress I shiver in anticipation... how many of those horrid pounds have I gleefully lost this week???

None.

You read that correctly, none.  Although I am very relieved that the number is not actually larger, I am rather disappointed that the numbers didn't continue to shrink.

Don't get me wrong, I am well aware that weight loss plateaus are a common hurdle in the long journey to a slimmer healthier body... I just didn't want to have it happen to me so soon into this concentrated effort.

Weigh In Monday

Not a lot of time today, but wanted to post to keep myself accountable.
This mornings number is...... (drum roll please....)

265.4

So far so good, may God continue to bless this Atkins journey, my reducing weight, and the betterment of my health, Amen!

Yay! It's Weigh In Day...

So I wake up...

and realize that although:

• I only started my Atkins on New Year's Day
  • Where instead of 20 grams of carbs or less I consumed more than 100
    • (darn beans and their hidden carbs... I like chili darn it!)
• the day that was only 4 days ago

I have to do my first official weigh in. I approached the super fancy (for me) weight watchers scale as if it were a rabid animal and would attack at any moment.

I finally found my courage and stepped on the darn thing.

Day 4 and All's Well

Although I got off to a rocky start, I think I am doing OK. I have avoided the scale because I don't want to not see any progress... so I ignore the evil, mocking thing and simply pretend it doesn't exist.

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!

On the practical side of things it has been a bit more difficult than you would think... as I live with my grandmother, a wonderful octogenarian who eats what she wants when she wants it because she has lived long enough to earn that right... dag nab it, lol.  So, I am not able to truly carb proof my kitchen and pantry.  Needless to say, it has been tempting on occasion... okay, all the time.  I mean my grandma hasn't met a carb she didn't like.

Here we go again!!

Every year millions of people decide to lose weight as their New Year's resolution... and yet those same people seem to make the same resolution year after year after year... and the number of obese and morbidly obese people continue to grow.  I know... because I am one of the ones who have made this a habit... and yet here I am again saying, "This time it will be different.!"
