Today Im starting a life change. I have 2 goals to lose a little weight and to stop drinking. Since the kids have flown the nest seems like I eat all day and drink to much.
So today I start telling myself I am more then a mom. I am a going to strive to find my own identity and become a more rounded person while at the same time become less a ROUND person

Well off to go shopping to restock my fridge.

Good Luck to You!!!!

Its raining so much I think we are going to have to build an ark to stay afloat. When its rainy and cold I always want soup a nice homemade potato cheese soup. But I will resist and stick to Induction. Im going to research low-carb soups to see what I can make after the 2 weeks is up.
Went to bed early about 9 to break the cycle of drinking hubby stayed up, I laid in bed awake till about 12 thinking about different ways to cook meat lol.
Been reading some of the journals and don't know where you all get the time r energy to exercise or walk!!! My sister and I was talking yesterday and we both agreed that walking to the fridge and the bathroom is our exercise. I told her I was going to start walking and I could hear her shudder over the phone lol.
I met all my goals yesterday started Atkins didn't drink and didn't call the kids.
This journaling is very therapeutic

Ate induction yesterday I did not even take a bite of the potato I made hubby. Going to try to find the vinegar with the mother in it I read about here and start taking that.

Started on the 3rd of Jan so its been 10 days and I broke down and weighed myself Im down 4 lbs YIPPEE.

today is going to be hard, it was my daughters birthday on the 7th and today we are gong to have a family supper to celebrate. (the kids r coming over the kids r coming over jumping up and down lol )
Im making her favorite birthday meal spaghetti and meat balls and my homemade sauce. I will only have the meatballs and some salad. I got the wheat spaghetti from all the reading I think it will be better for them then the ones made out of flour.
