          Day 28 for me! It's not over yet, but I've finished my dinner and I'm not going to eat anything else. This is a hard week for me, and I've pledged all my challenges to the memory of my beautiful daughter, who would have turned 35 on Tuesday, December 11th. She would have been so proud of me!


          My medical procedure on Friday was done right this time, so I should be able to start exercising gently, once again. I don't have another one until Jaqnuary 11th, so I should be okay for a while.

          Sunny!

              Well, it's almost the 10th! 39 days is real good! I was all the way to 42 days the last time I decided to give into Carb Madness.

                  2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
                  3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.

                          Day 29 for me! I started lifting weights again today and rode my recumbent stepper for 15 minutes. Not much, but it was something. It was so hot today and still tonight. Last week, it was snowing and 17 degrees. Tonight at 10 pm, it is still 70 degrees and humid. I've got the door and windows wide open.

                          Sunny!

                            Bluebelt - that is amazing! Well done!

                            Sunny - glad you can exercise again - don't over do it though! That is crazy weather too.

                            Well, I CHEATED but this time I'm not too bothered, here's why: (I pasted this from my journal, so hope is ok)

                            Well yesterday I had a bit of a cheat and also a bit of a revelation. I was feeling really good about Atkins and my week of cheatfree and then I went to a meeting where someone just handed me a slice of cake. And I really felt that I couldn't refuse because I was new, trying to make a good impression and quite a bit younger than everyone else. The woman who made the cake was my Nan's age, and I just sort of obeyed - lol! Not passing the blame though - was my fault ultimately!

                            Anyway, so as ever I am thinking 'Ooh, I've cheated, I may as well enjoy myself' so when I was at the station I headed straight to the shop for chocolate and was thinking I could have pizza for dinner and get back on the wagon today. But when I was looking at all the chocolate I just kind of thought - I don't really fancy it. But part of my brain was still insisting I had to! I think I've got it into my head that if I don't eat the things I'm missing when I cheat I'll regret it and cheat again. But I thought well, if I can't pick one, I'm not bothered, then I don't need it. So I bought an apple, came home and had my planned legal dinner.

                            Sounds minor - but big breakthrough for me!

                                That is awesome! This is not so much about cheating or not cheating, but to explore ways to find the reasons we want to eat crap carbs and ways around those thoughts. The carb monsters are insidious little demons! It's breakthroughs like this that help make this a lifestyle change and not just another diet. I'm very proud of you!

                                Sunny!
