Re: Sunday Check In

Hi Everyone... I am checking in.. I am home from my weekend away... Let me tell you this dance competition the food was so hard to work out... You don't know how many times I wanted to just throw in the towel.. I am so afraid of my weight in tomorrow..

Where I was..it was a city..with practically nothing to eat.. There was a food court..with the usual...french fries...hamburgers...hotdogs... Junk stuff

Friday Night I had a Hotdog..No bun...

Saturday I did eat at the breakfast buffet... Then at lunch I had a Chef Salad.. but it was small... So I was starving at 3.. Ended up getting a steak sandwich (ate a little of the bread and some fruit...

Didn't eat anything the rest of the day...

Sunday.. Well I couldn't figure out what to eat.. I was going to do a breakfast buffet... But I want to have lunch at the restaurant of the motel.. Well I ended up eating 2 slim jims for breakfast (I don't normally eat these) and then at 12:30 I had French Onion Soup...Burger without the bun...and a side salad..(Lunch was $25 for JUST ME)
Then we stopped at Subway on the way home and I had a Salad..with Club meat on it..

So I did cheat a little with the bread.. but I was so hungry I was shaking.. But I know in the morning I will totally be on track.. I did have some successes.. I didn't take the brownie that someone gave her when all I could do is smell chocolate..

Oh get this.. My room had a microwave and Fridge in it.. They don't normally have them in the rooms.. A friend of mine had to request one and paid $15 extra for it a night..

So Hopefully in the morning I am not disgusted.. I know I will be back down in a couple of days after I drink drink drink my water

Re: Sunday Check In

Hey Guys,

Is it too late to check in for Sunday? Stopped Atkins a few months back and haven't been able to psychologically prepare myself to start again. Just decided to take a break....not because Atkins doesn't work, but because my inability to remain on track was causing me way too much stress. I was having nightmares about waking up and having to start again.....

I am giving it a half-hearted go again. I say "half-hearted" because I am being realistic in saying that during my hiatus, I wasn't doing any mental prep work to prepare for a strong, clean "re"-start. I continue to want and desire carbs and can not say that I am strong enough to avoid them. Despite this, I will still begin again tomorrow and take one day at a time.



Isn't there a quote somewhere that says something about willpower and commitment....that people don't magically have willpower-they make daily steps to stay committed to something and that eventually "turns into" willpower....(something like that?!?!)

Well that's how I'm thinking right now....instead of falling into the trap of believing I just don't have the willpower to start/stay on Atkins, the best route would be to take it one day at a time until I "develop" willpower.....(something like that!?!)



Anyway, here goes......Day 1 begins tomorrow. I may be going into this blindly (I have very few Atkins-friendly items in my fridge/pantry) and went to the store to get eggs this afternoon and left the store with EVERYTHING but.....however, I said I will start and that will be the truth. I will make do with what I have until I make the trip to the grocery store (planning on Wednesday). None-the-less, I am back......walking on egg shells, but I am back.

Hope everyone’s weekend went well....have a great Monday....
