  • SwissMiss is back....

    Hello everyone. A foot injuriy and a 6 week head infection have led me stray and not follow the Atkins plan in the past 3 months. I was following some kind of a low-carb-diet in order not to get addicted or used to carbs (especially bread, pasta, rice etc). But I didn't loose any weight as I couldn't exercise at all.

    But since I'm now healthy (foot- and head-wise) again, I am re-starting with Atkins. Okay... some might say, that it is quite ambitious just weeks before X-Mas, with all the temptations everywhere, but... I like and need challenges in my life.

    Exercise wise I'm going to sign up for a gym - my first trial lesson is on Monday and I plan on working out at the gym 2 - 3 times a week. A co-worker and girlfriend is also working out at that gym, which I believe is going to be great motivation wise. In addition I will go for power-walks or use my Crosstrainer at home and do my abs crunches to help flatten the tummy.

    My work collegues have also started going swimming once a week over lunch. Perhaps when I drop 6 more kilos and will have a 2 digit weight, I will join them too. But right now... the thought of me in a swimmsuit is just to embarrasing.

    Anyhow... wish me luck and I'm happy to be back.

              Welcome back SwissMiss. It's nice to see that you are looking to challenge yourself, what a great attitude.

              I was curious, do you have the "Swiss Miss" brand hot chocolate in Switzerland?

                    You know, don't you, that you can make hot chocolate? With heavy cream and water, and cocoa powder and splenda.

                    Use coffee instead of water, and you have a mocha.

                    Perfectly legal, even on induction.

                          I'm one of those few and - percieved by some - crazy/weird people who doesn't care for chocolate! I'll have an occasional bite. Everyone once in a while I'd like to have a hot chocolate. But it doesn't call out to me. I'm pretty luck that way. My carb vice? Cookies and cakes! I've found a few treats that are plan friendly and I eat them occasionally... it really helps. BUT... with all this talk of hot chocolate, I think I'm going to have to make some this evening! With whipped cream on top, of course!

                              Uh... thanks for that quick tipp... I will try that type of hot chocolate. It's nice to sip one and watch the snow fall. We actually don't have the SwissMiss Brand here, but I know it form the time I lived in the USA.
