back to the beginning

[pipee_pl]

I have been away for the holidays to the Canary Islands staying in an all inclusive resort with my family.
I didn't exercise except walking or swimming,
I drank alcohol,
I didn't over do it too much with the carbs but still had too many.

So today I am starting induction again. I am excited about it, I have been to the gym already, now I need to do some planning.
Tomorrow I will have the pleasure of weighing myself to see how much I have gained.

But I have definately been motivated by staying in this resort. It basically serviced Germans and Brits and 80% of the people there were overweight- I mean very overweight. And once we left the resort to visit the towns- all the other German or British tourists were overweight too.
I live in Poland where it is not normal to see so many fat people- but I am also Canadian where it is normal to see so many fat people- I guess I forgot, and It was actually quite shocking but definately inspiring for me, so...
I begin again- with bells on! And I think the best part is that I already know what to expect with carb withdrawl.
I am also wondering if anyone starting out is looking for a "buddy" to check in with- let me know.

Hi pipee!!!
Glad to hear you have a great time during the holidays and to hear to are getting back on track with commitment! Holiday has been tough to most of us in here and we are all ready for a new loosing year!!!
I did re-start clean Induction yesterday and it would be nce to check in together......did not experience any bad induction flu yet, maybe I was not so bad intoxicated with sugar and carbs after all!!!
How's your first day been going?

Re: back to the beginning

Gala, my first day has actually been quite good. I didn't have any re-induction flu, as of yet anyway, and i had two days previously a caffine headache. I kicked it the first time after 5 days of a pounding head but at the resort they only had regular coffee which i felt i needed- so for the past two days my head was aching but today i woke up without.
i am doing ok with the food, at the resort i didn't go overboard with the carbs- just the drinks really. it is funny we just looked at our photos from the two weeks and i can see the difference from day 1 to day 14. even when we got back after the second day i was less bloated.
not that i am a lush, but you know a few drinks in the evening by day 14 you are really feeling it- definately learned my lesson on that one.
i think it is a great idea to check in with each other, i have to lose about the same amount as you- i have given myself the first goal of 25 lbs- then after that all is a bonus, good luck with day 3!

Welcome Back! We all stumble at times, but good for you that you are getting back on track right away.

Drink your water and re-read the book.

Happy Low Carbing!

Re: back to the beginning

Hi Pipee, I know what you mean by feeling the alcohol!!!
I went back on induction after 4 B52 shooter on friday night and I stocked myself up with water to flush them off.........they are so heavy!!! dn't get me wron I am not an alcoholic but still, I struggle in getting through the weekend without drinking .............. it's only monday i don't want to think about that now!
I decided against going up on the scale while I am on induction so hopefully we gonna share a nice loss in 14 days time!
well done on day1 and keep up the good work!
ah and water water water water
