trying this again
Hi,
well about a year ago i tried Atkins..... lost about 16 pounds and then resorting back to my old carbohydrate filled foods.
i gained 10 lbs back .... resulting in the numbers on the scale to read 170.
not the weight i desire to be.
after struggling with my wardrobe & not being happy with the image in the mirror, i decided it was time to begin again.
so, on Monday, July 20th 2009 my second journey with atkins began. only this time i'm adding exercise. at least 4 days a week.
i get on the bike for 20 min. then run in place for 10 min.
then dance around for another 10 to 15 min.. depending on the song i have playing on the ipod. 
i also bought ankle weights to wear at the office.
when i can afford the tools, i plan on implimating a little more. but for now i'm working with what i got!!!
i've read your supposed to do mild exercise when on atkins... is this too much or not enough?
also i refuse to get on the scale on a daily basis, as a watched pot never boils.
what is a good # to hop on that bad boy? once a week? once every 2 weeks? once a month?
i weighed in after my first week at 167. expected to have lost a little more... but i had a problem surrendering my nightly glass of wine. would that have been a factor?
this time around i am definatlly in it to win it. my goal is to reach 130.
any answers & advice would be greatly appreciated.
