After my poll yesterday about what stage we are all in and observations of all of the stac members, it got me thinking about all of us second time around people and OWL. It seems like a lot of our members are on induction or extended induction.
The reason I fell off the wagon the first time, was because I didn't follow OWL correctly. I didn't do the ladder, carb creep got to me, etc. I actually had myself convinced that I was still in extended induction, when I wasn't! I was adding in little bits of food here and there. Is that why a lot of us are on our second (or more) go around? Because we didn't move into OWL or follow it correctly? If this is true, we all need to look at what we are doing and learn from our mistakes from the first time around.
Well, at least that is why I believe I failed the first time. I guess my point, is that we all need to look at ourselves and what caused us to fail. Let's not make the same mistakes again!
I'm just curious, what were your mistakes and do you have a plan to avoid making those mistakes again?
Myself, I am not sitting in extended induction forever adding in things here and there, pretending that I am doing Atkins right. I have moved into OWL and I am doing it by the book. I am counting my carbs. I am following the rules and the rungs. I am now commited to OWL and doing it correctly.
