Jan 16/03 day 4
Okay, I messed up today big time. I had a bagel with cream cheese, it was whole wheat honey had also a hamburger and fries from A&W and yes I ate the bun. I got it with only bacon on it, but I still ate the bun and the fries, what was I thinking ???? I wasn't thats what. Man I was doing so good to. At work when I got hungry had a salad, but it wasn't good enough, I also brought my low carb bars and had those for a snack when I wanted to have a donut instead. I did start to exercise today, but like thats going to help any afte what I ate my carbs for the day are 160.5 and my cals for the day are 1714. Just terrible. I feel aweful right now. not just because of what I ate but because I messed up and now will probaly have a gain tomorrow. And it won't be one pound it will be all the 3lbs that i have already lost. okay enough beating myself up I just have to start over again tomorrow, thats it. No more messing up.
back on track tomorrow. okay enough beating myself up over this it's time for me to go.

Still doing well, I am eating under the 20 mark. 18.3 carbs today, and 1151 cal's. I had trouble sleeping tonight, took me awhile to get there and then when I final did I was up going to the bathroom what seemed like every 5 mins. I have heard other people say that they have had problems as well. It's not good for me because I work mid nights I should be awake at night when I am off work and sleeping during the day. Getting used to making it threw the night without any kind of caffiene. I had a diet coke before I left to go to work. But that's okay. I do know this diet works, like I said before because I have lost. both in weight and inches. So far since Jan 6 I have lost -64 inches. some people doubt me when I post this in a certian news group. But I know I measrured right.


mini goals for the day

journal
eat under 20 grms carbs
drink water
no junk at work tonight , stay focused on goals.

Noticed my energy is up, during the day a little more.I'm also not eating as often as I used to. I did weight watchers before this and I ate three main meals (which were small) and then I had three snacks.

but now I have my three main meals and then one snack if I need it. Usually after lunch time.I am worried about when I reach my goal and how I am going to keep it where I want it. Guess I will have to figure out how I am going to keep it there.

okay gotta go

will write more tomorrow

Okay I am doing fairly well at this thing. I didn't think that I could do it. But so far I have lost 3lbs. I'm eating under 20 grms of carbs a day. Came close to going over today but I didn't, also doing well with my calories. I'm eating between 1000 and 1200 cals a day. I tried a couple of the Atkins bars. I didn't mind them but some were too sweet for me. I have given up chocalate. At least the real stuff any way, and having one of the bars was sweet at first.
I found a sugar free one, made with splenda so it is okay to have while on Atkins. It is called Carbolite. it says it has 155 of carbs but there is no Fiber count so I am not sure how to figure out the right amount ?????? I am getting better with drinking my water, I have also cut back on the amount of diet pop I drink. I haven't cut it out all together yet,But I am working on it.
I am drinking three to four bottles of water a day, they are 500 ml's each. Once I have at least two to three bottles, I then allow myself to have a diet coke. I have cut out all other caffine. I have gone 23 days with out having any ice cappucinno's. I'm impressed with myself. I started this challenge Dec 23/03 and am doing it for one and a half months.
I have other challenges I am doing and will add them later as I go on. Guess thats it for today, will write more tomorrow or as soon as I can

So far I am doing good today, I have been eatting good. No mess ups yet. I am also going to getready to do some exercise as soon as I finish writting this. I did okay yesterday, but could have done better. Making up for it today. I made good choices but I had white bread. So today I am cutting myself off of all things not permitted on induction. The only thing that I am not giving up though is my diet coke. I lost weight before while drinking it so I am going to continue this time.
I am just limiting how many that I can have a day. I have also started to drink more water as well. Which I know will help. I am going to see about joining the gym in the next couple of days. Just need to wait until I can get the money. Which will be soon. I felt terrible the last couple of days, but I know that it was just because of the things I ate at work the last night that I was there. well no more. I am going to go threw one night and the rest f the nights with out getting pains in my stomach. I hate having them, I have lived with them long enough. Time for them to stop


here is what I have had to eat so far today

breakfast oamlet 3 eggs and a mix of veggies 6
carbs
4 pieces of bacon 0.8 carbs
1 bottle of water at 500ml
3/4 of a diet coke one left over from
yesterday

snack atkins endulge bar 2 carbs
diet coke
and 1 bottle of water 500 ml]




well thats it for now will be back later

I haven't done an entry lately, but i have some good news. I have had 1 donut at work in four days. I no longer eat the free pizza that is brought to us from pizza pizza. When I ate the donut this morning I got slight pains in my stomach, later on after I had the donut, I decided that I wanted a cheese croissant. I know I shouldn't have but they were fresh out of the over and still warm. After I ate it, that little pain in my stomach, actually more like cramps got worse.
So I am not having either one any more, tonight was the last night. I am tired of how I feel after I eat that crap. And you know thats exactly what it is.
So I am going to be on this diet 100%. Starting tomorrow, I am giving my all to this way of life. I also found a gym for real cheap to. And am going to see about joining it , it is 35 dollars for one month. And then 10 dollars for your card. It's close to home.
Within walking distance, this will be my treat to myself, I know that if I pay for this membership that I will use it because I won't want to waist it.
My start weight for the next two weeks, which is my challenge to stay on this diet is 125lbs. my goal will be to lose 5lbs of the 10lbs that I have to lose.
Here's keeping my fingers crossed that I can do this. I need to do this so that I will feel better.

Is this worht it
I am wondering since I have been failing miserably at this, if it is worth my effort to continue with this diet or to just give up all together. But then I rememeber how I feel when I eat crapy things. I am so mad at myself for the number of time I have started this thing over in the last week. I have done okay so far the last two days. But I could use to make better food choices when I eat out.
I think that, that is my one down fall. That and work. I was trying to get put on different hours at work but doesn't look like that will happen anytime soon.So I will have to make sure that this time my diet works. I will not give up. I think that if I push myself to work hard at this I can do it. I did it once before I know I can do it this time.
So I will not give up this time...... At least I hope not

restart of Atkins and Weight Watchers.
Jan 5 2004

Today I am starting Atkins and Weigh Watchers over for the final time. If I cannot keep up with doing Atkins then I will contiune with Weight Watchers. It has worked for me in the past and has helped me to lose 30lbs. But I will accomplish what I want to do with Atkins and Weight watchers both. I will not only porve to myself that I can do this but to others who are in doubt of me that I can not.
