    Wow, It is Good to be Back

    Hi Guys,

    I can't believe how long it took me to get back here... and I could kick myself because I knew it was working ...just could not get back on track... the ol' "I'll start tomorrow" line! So, here I am 1 year and 9 months since I stopped. I gained all the weight I lost (30 lbs) and brought some extra along (another 22).

    But this time, I know that it is not something I can stop...it is a lifestyle change.


    My name is Carolyn and I am a carb addict!

    So, here I stand on my first day of Induction, ready to take on the low carb world again!!!

    So far, here is what I have had today:

    B: 2 oz Boar's Head Turkey
    2 oz Boar's Head Ham- no sugar Pesto Parm
    1 oz cheese
    Celery- 1/2 cup
    Pickle

    Total carbs- 4

    And I have had 40 oz. of water.

    Anyway, I just wanted to say hello again and I am looking forward to talking to everyone!

    Now I am heading over the the exercise forum to sign up for some challenges since I hate to exercise and this way I'll be motivated...

    welcome back stickin! It does feel good when you take that first step doesn't it?

    I'd be careful with the boars head stuff - lotso salt and possibly some sugar. Sad, but true.

        I have thorougly checked the ones I chose... and they are lower sodium and no sugars... I used to eat them all the time when I did this WOE the last time...

        But thanks for the heads up! I do appreciate it

                Thank you guys... It is day 2 and I am feeling pretty good... I am drinking lots of water... hopefully the "flu" will not be too bad, but at least I am prepared and know what to expect.

                I did not get to work out yesterday, but I will as soon as I get off work today... it is hard when all my time outside of work is packing and cleaning, cleaning and packing... man, moving is hard! The end result will be great though and I plan to be slimmer and healthier by the time we move!!!

                I'll write more later on how it is going!

                  Think of it this way, packing and cleaning both burn calories! It's a form of exercise, in a way.

                          Welcome back to Atkins', Carolyn. It's been several years since we moved here, but thinking about the packing and cleaning makes it seem like yesterday. It's a lot of work. See you around, Babs

                              Headache is still here but that is to be expected...


                              I am now off of work so I am going to make stuff since DH is at work. I am hungry just thinking about it.

                              Deviled Eggs
                              Egg Salad
                              Chicken Spinach Parmesan (thanks to Linda!!!)
                              Taco Meat


                              Then I'll have some stuff to just grab out of the fridge... was hurting yesterday but had yummy scrambled eggs with cheese, mushrooms and ham last night which made up for the lack of choices yesterday!

                              Which means tomorrow will be even better...WOOHOO!!!

                              Thank you again for such a warm welcome back!
