Restarting tomorrow, shopping tonight

[pjade1]

After losing 15 lbs. last year and going off Atkins a couple of months ago. I have regained 7 lbs so I thought I beter do something. I tried other diets but can't seem to stick to them because I am always hungry. Atkins seems to be the only thing that keeps me satisfied.

I will be out grocery shopping tonight to start fresh tomorrow on induction.

My first mini goal will be 155.

Re: Restarting tomorrow, shopping tonight

Thanks for the tip on reading the stickys. I also got my STAC banner there! I am not looking forward to the trips in the middle of the night to the bathroom again but it will all be worth it. I am vowing to stay on Atkins till I reach goal and then stay on maintenance for life. I don't want to regain this weight back. I will also be starting an exercise program at home too. You guys are wonderful support!

Pjade1 you know once you get use to the water, your body will let you start sleeping the night thru. I think your bladder just gets bigger.

Re: Restarting tomorrow, shopping tonight

Well, I have done my grocery shopping and I am all ready to start induction tomorrow. I can only drink about 24 oz. of water at work because I am a crane operator. Yes, a woman crane operator and I don't have a whole lot of chances to use the bathroom while up in the crane. I usually make up for it at home and then I am in the bathroom all night. My first couple of weeks are the worst and I don't get much sleep.

Re: Restarting tomorrow, shopping tonight

You are right, the first couple of weeks rehydrating will be the worst but it does get better.

Crane operator huh! Im sure that would be a little inconvenient to have to run to the bathroom every 15 minutes.

Happy low carbing!

Re: Restarting tomorrow, shopping tonight

Hi everyone! Day one went great. I did not cheat at all. I was up alot last night in the bathroom. I think I got up four times! I had eggs and a couple of sausage for breakfast. Some roasted chicken and green beans for lunch and ate a hamburger patty and salad for dinner. I also snacked on a string cheese and drank lots of water, at least as much as I could. Thanks for asking about me. Now for day number two..........I did avoid the doughnuts here at work this morning. I went to the cafeteria and bought an Atkins friendly breakfast. They make breakfasts there with no hashbrowns, just eggs, bacon or sausage. For lunch, I have a salad with ranch and roasted chicken. Not sure about dinner yet but I will figure something out. ~~Linda
