Everything is on track. I even made peanut butter cookies for DH's bday and didn't eat any. The weight is coming over sloooowly, but I expected that. I need to incorporate more exercise into my plan and I know it, I just need to schedule a regular time for it. I get up at 4:30 anyway every day so I can't see doing it in the mornings.

I'll post more later, but I just wanted to check in. I hope everybody is having a good week. ]]> LessRenee http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/lessrenee/update-54/ http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/lessrenee/another-day-35/ Tue, 08 Jan 2008 11:31:18 GMT I've lost about a pound and a half this week. I know some of that is water weight, but that also means I'm doing the right stuff (if I'm losing water weight).

My little guy is back at school after a 2 week break and he's OK with it. I've really been struggling to find something I can feed him for breakfast that is healthy and quick. I think we've got a compromise. I bought him a bunch of different bags of different kinds of frozen fruit and a big container of plain yogurt. For breakfast he's been making his "concoction". He's very careful about how many of each thing he puts in his smoothie and he's experimenting with different combinations. He also gets to run the blender which is sort of like a power tool. It's very important to him how it comes out and he's proud of it. I'm proud that he's not eating poptarts or kid's yogurts. Have you seen the Trix ones? It's like somebody threw a pixie stick in there.

So he has his smoothie and I get my eggbeater omelet the cheese and we still get done at a decent time. One meal down. ]]> LessRenee http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/lessrenee/another-day-35/ http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/lessrenee/resolutions-25/ Sat, 05 Jan 2008 13:22:21 GMT I have a few and I've been tossing them around in my head.

• I'm going to take an online course, something work related. It doesn't have to be for my degree program. There is som much I want to learn. The important thing here is that I prove to myself that I CAN make the time to do it.

• I'm going to be more selective about what projects/people I spend my time on.

• I'm going to cherish my friends and family.

• I'm going to work to be healthy.

I gave my WOE a week before I did it, so I'll add two pounds as a starting weight (factoring what was probably a 2 pound loss in water weight) ... I should have done that a long time ago, but being completely honest, I knew what it was by the clothes I was wearing. So there we go. I'm facing it. Cause and effect. I know the cause, it's time to own the effect.

I've been in induction a week and I had other than sleeping a little more, no ill effects. I'll start exercising now (and I mean now, as soon as I finish this post) and just drive on. The scale is a tool, a literal way of measuring the effects of the choices I make. Time to make better choices. ]]> LessRenee http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/lessrenee/owning-20/ http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/lessrenee/new-blog-16/ Wed, 02 Jan 2008 11:27:14 GMT Nice job on the blogs Dixie! My journal has been like a blog so I'll try this for a while.

My cabinets.... I should seriously take a picture and post it before I pull everything out of them. I have low fat, low calorie, nutra system, weight watchers, myoplex shakes (from body for life).. tells a story, doesn't it?

Anyway, I'll pull everything out of them today. I lost 30 pounds on Atkins and nothing on the rest. Everybody is different and for some people, those things may be the way that works for them. My family has a scary tendency toward diabetes and I really think sugar/starch doesn't work for me. I crave sugar when I'm not doing atkins. It's a serious craving too, like when I quit smoking. I think that's my tendency talking to me.

It's been a few days and so far no "Atkins flu". I'm re reading the book, making ham salad, eating veggies and drinking water. I know I should give up caffeine and I haven't. Diet soda is just bad all the way around. I think if I don't give up caffeine completely, I'll try green tea instead. I have a bunch of it in decaf, but I was reading that that process removes almost all the anti-oxidants, though.

It's good to see everybody. I'll write more later. If you see this, thanks again, Dixie, for the blog.
