Good morning and I am on track! I was very sick this past monday. I was sick due to my own poor choices. THAT has really caused to me to stop and face the behaviors I've allowed back into my world. THAT day left me thinking and dealing with me.
I am on day 3 of low carb eating. My only goal right now is ketosis and the 10 day mark. I am absolutely focused, like I use to be. Regardless of how I feel today, I have made a firm committment to myself. Taking it from there.

I'm here and on track. I'm not sure of any changes other than the ketostix are turning pink/purple. I will not weigh myself or take measurements until Day 14. I'm only on Day 5. Nothing exciting to report, but I am still here and doing well
Good morning--ready for another beautiful day here. Started back on Atkins on 4/7 and have lost 6 lbs already. Whooo HOOOOO!! I guess I need to get a ticker and add it to my siggy. Have a great day everyone.
Good Morning! I'm here and on track!! I'm down 1/2 pound this morning! Woo Hoo!
I went to a dinner last night for the end of season of my son's archery team. We brought covered dishes, so I brought my legal spinach salad. (the recipe is posted in my journal chats) I had my salad, a hot sausage and a meatball. I'm so proud of myself for passing on everything else!!

Well, good morning everyone. I started back up on Atkins on Monday right? Okay, I already fell off the wagon just yesterday. I couldnt take it when the started handing out the Dilly Bars. I caved like a baby! Then I told myself I just would not eat supper...yeah right. I ate that too! Granted it was low-carb, but still.
I have not been on my scale in a while and last night late in the evening I jumped on with both feet. The scale was not nice to me. Not that it ever really is. But the number came back at 210 lbs. What...210 lbs. how can that be? What ever happened to 188 lbs. - that felt so much better.
Well it might have been the box of Captian Crunch I ate... or maybe it was the Cookie Crisp. I have to admit that cereal is my one big down fall. You can get a ton of sugar out of just one bowl. Not to mention the prize at the bottom of the box. (Yep, they still have that.)
I am back on plan this morning. I am not going to give up. I want to be successful with this way of life. I want to win the golden prize - my health...and a killer body.
I hope everyone makes great choices this morning. Dont let the dilly bars get you too!
How does one become a butterfly? You must want to fly so much that you're willing to give up being a caterpillar.
Im back after a few weeks of weakness too. Pretty stresssful for me at the moment with all my regular teaching stuff and my own Degree coursework too. I have been pretty much living off sandwiches.
Fortunatly the damage isnt too bad to my body, but psychologically it has taken its toll.
Taking it a day at a time at the moment.

Hey all. Glad to report that I am on my 3rd day of induction. I did have a bit of an induction flu, but that has subsided now. I have also been exercising. There were instances of temptation, but I overcame them sucessfully.
Last night I had 1/2 cup of pasta for dinner... and then I was back down to 141 (was up to 143)....I think that tells me I'm not eating enough carbs. Which of course might explain the grumpiness and the edginess and all that stuff. And I'm tired.... I know we are going full force on the farm now - but still I'm tired - even with sleep.
Snowed last night - SO incredibly sick and tired of the white stuff...
A little grumpy this morn. Oldest chitlin and I had a big chat last night about his inability to turn in his homework. It's like talking to a hand puppet - makes no difference what I say. I feel very defeated and just plain sad.
Have an appt today to talk to Dr. about sleeping meds - I would really like to shut my brain off and actually go to sleep and stay asleep.
Boot Camp last night was tough - my little leglets are sore this morning. I ran 2 miles beforehand - that sure didn't help Today, I am taking the day off.
Hope you all have a swell day!

After reading your posts, I realize it's not just me who struggles with getting into the zone and staying there! When I'm there I'm good, but when I've faltered, then holy h*ll it's hard to get back.
But...I want to get back to where I was before Christmas. Giving myself free reign over the holidays was a major mistake. If I'd given myself Christmas day, that'd be fine. Two weeks of woo hoo is just too much!
I'm on-plan this week however and feel mahvalous about that! Just had the mock danish for breakfast - mmmmm!
Talk yourselves around the ho-hums you guys....you know it's worth it!
