Starting over!
Hi everyone,
I don't really post on here a lot, but of course I've done Atkins before (many times) and somewhere along there, I got off track. I began induction 2 weeks ago (again!) and was doing so good! I was down 10 lbs in a week and a half. Within the middle of the first week I started to get the well-known "Atkins flu" I felt horrible! First, I lost my appetite. And then because I was so hungry, I started feeling sick to my stomach and not wanting to eat, because of that feeling so sick. Before I knew it, I was going down the shore with my Mom and sister and temptation set in. It was bad. I had fried oreos, stromboli, pizza, french fries, junk junk junk! I was pretty good throughout the weekend of this trip because we walked everyone. But even once I came home I stayed on this high-carb diet. Grrr.
So now here I am, having to start over once again and very afraid to weigh myself after this eating binge. So, I'm going to wait a few days to weigh myself. But I'm starting over again and I'm not going to let myself slip this time. I figured I'd post all this because everyone was saying on here how if you post your goals, it's easier for you to stick to them.
So I'm going to do my walking preferably 5x a week. I'd like to do 2 miles or more everyday. I figure what I need to do to incorporate it into my lifestyle is replace it with other things. For example, instead of taking the bus, go walk. Instead of driving somewhere, go walk. I just need to replace my laziness with exercise. Replace my bad eating habits with permanent good ones.
My problem is, once I have something bad, I don't want to stop. It's like "Well, I messed up already, might as well eat more!" And then it becomes this vicious cycle. We all know how it goes, I suppose.
Well, this is me saying I'm back, I'm going to stick to my Atkins and I'm going to update on here and exercise my butt off!
