Day 2-Clean this time

[urbangoddess]

Hi everyone,
Well, after loads of stress in my life and falling way, way, way off the wagon, putting ten pounds back on and starting smoking again after 9 years, I'M BACK.

This time I really want to do two things that I never really did the last time around: have a totally clean induction and add daily exercise. I AM SOOOOOO lazy! The only time I really have to exercise is if I set my alarm early and do it first thing in the morning, but when that alarm goes off, I suddenly have 2000 excuses, then feel terrible about how lazy I am, how I continually sabotage myself, etc...

Anyway, I also plan on staying away from the scale for at least a week or two, as I used to obsessively weigh myself daily.

So wish me luck on Day 2 of clean induction and Day 1 smoke-free!

Congrats on your second day! You are not in the boat alone about exercising. I really have to make myself exercise. Keep going forward and you eventually get to the place where you want to be.

Re: Day 2-Clean this time

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Day three now, and I'm feeling a little better. Brook, nice to see that we're on the same double challenge: reinduction/smoke-free.
I did jump on the scale this morning, and I'm allready down 3.5 lbs! I can't wait to see how different my results are after two weeks clean. I lost pretty easily on Atkins, although I cheated a lot. But I'm done sabotaging myself. I want to reach my goal — not settle for half way!

Re: Day 2-Clean this time

Be sure to take those measurements so when the scale wont cooperate you will see the inches falling off. It will be your saving grace!

I cheated the first time on Atkins too and lost quite easily. This time however, I am not losing so fast and I am not cheating. I lost a few pounds after the first 3 days and then my weight paused for another 6 days and then another pound; paused another 5 days and then another pound. What I am saying is don't get discouraged. I am staying encouraged by this wonderful group of STAC members. ~~PJ
