Needing a little Positive Vibe-age!
I'm posting this for a pick-me-up. I've bounced on/off this lifestyle in the past 6 months far too many times and this time its going to stick.
And I actually tracked my cheats to the times I seemed to be most active in this forum and... BINGO! The more I'm here, gaining knowledge and support and friendship with you fabulous folks, the better I am with the program. So.. HERE I AM! =) And I plan to be a lot more active and annoying, so get used to me ;-)
But yes.. I'm back on the program and doing pretty darn good. We had a Taco Bell trauma last week but other than that the past 2 weeks have been right where I need them to be and so has the weight loss.. so I am taking it one "good for me!" day at a time =) Besides I realized, much like Porcelain did at the movie theater with her popcorn, that burrito just didn't have the pizazz it used to.
I guess I'm just sitting here spazzed because on May 21st I will be having septoplasty which is basically a medically-needed nose job to straighten a deviated septum that has been delightfully preventing solid sleep and steady breathing for the last seven years *insert sarcasm*
My hubbie is fully prepared to cook for me when I can't cook for myself, so sticking to the foods should be fine. He's on it, too (not because he needs to lose weight but because he LOVES the food lol) but I've always been the one who makes everything aside from breakfast, so he's spending the next few days standing over me to see how it all goes down. =)
But between the potentially 6 long weeks without being able to exercise and being pretty much sedentary for the first 2+ of them, the antibiotics which are SURE to not play any helpful part in my weight loss, and the "just say no to Garlic" for the next 2 weeks and then few days after surgery (minced garlic is my crutch, if there is a dish I can put it in, I will lol) .. and the fact that my bikini vacation is here in just a mere 106 DAYS!! .. I'm having a mini stress attack.
And rather than do my usual hoard-all-the-office-cookies-in-my-tummy stress routine, I'm on here venting! And hoping folks can give me any positive vibes that even with the lack of exercise, weight loss CAN still happen even if at a slower rate. Has anyone else on here been doing Atkins during a long period when they literally could not exercise (even happy little strolls, etc)? How did your loss differ and any tips?
