Guess what I did today?

August 19, 2005, 04:30 PM

On April 4th, Iwas literaly dragging my self up the stairs by the banister, when I got there, I was out of breath, and my heart was pounding. April 5th I started Atkins, today 8-19, I ran after my children at the park, I swang inthe swings, I held my baby on my lap ( I have a lap) on the tire swing, I did not get out of breath, I had a blast!!! I have lost 88 pounds and gained my life!!

Fantastic

Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

Re: Guess what I did today?

I love those moments when you all of a sudden think "Hey!! I never could do *that* before!!!"

We were at a restaurant recently and when we went to leave I just walked straight out through the jumble of chairs! I didn't have to panic and look to see where the biggest spaces were and I didn't even have to turn sideways to sidle through (and then panic when I turned sideways because my belly was always so huge and I'd have to suck in as much as I could...it was always so humiliating)

These 'simple' things, like keeping up with the kids or leaving a restaurant or...Oooohh!!..or being at a bbq and being able to eat with a plate sitting on my lap!!
I put the plate on my lap, and was halfway through my meal when I realized I had never ever been able to do that before because my stomach was in the way and my thighs could never fit that close together before.

Keep on celebrating all these things!

That is a wonderful post. I almost started crying! I have 3 great girls too and they definitely take endless energy. I am so happy you are living your life with them and don't have to watch along the sidelines. Great job!!!

Re: Guess what I did today?

I started at the end of April for the exact same reasons. I need to enjoy the kids now before they grow older and don't want to play with me. I can actually wear them out walking now. That is such a great feeling. Keep doing what your doing and congratulations!!!
