After reading everyone's inspirational posts and diaries I have decided to start my own diary to keep me motivated.
So today I think I start week 6 of the Atkins woe. I' ve lost track. So far I' ve had good losses, weeks with no losses and small gains, but the important thing is I'm lighter than I was!
from this forum I discovered the 30 day shred. I was not convinced that I'd do it more than once so I searched you tube and tried level one out. To start with it was very tough, but I decided to invest in not only 30 day shred but a box set of four of Jillian Michaels DVDs.
Today I completed day 10 level 2. I'm so proud of myself, twenty continues days of exercise. So far I' ve lost 4 inches off my waist and an inch off my bust (that's unfortunate as I don't have much bust to lose lol).
I have a great set of scales and for the times my weight doesn't shift I coan see my % of skeletal muscle increasing and my body fat lowering.
I'm your typical yoyo dieter. I've done ww in past, but that allows me to have treats and I become totally obsessed with my treats. Atkins so far is filling me up at each meal and I'm not craving crisps or sweet treats. Yippee, will this last though?
The worse part for me was week one. I couldn't drink my tea without milk so stopped drinking it and replaced it with fruit teas. I felt quite yucky that week. It masked the effects of going low carb though, I was so busy dealing with caffeine withdrawal. I can happily report I haven't touched tea since (don't like coffee) and I'm enjoying trying new fruit teas.
Enough woffleing on, time to bath the kids, schools back tomorrow and work for me and level 3 shred!
