Success!!!

SO I was having a little bit of a pity party last week...  I ended up cheating on my diet.  It wasn't a planned cheat, so I was really upset.  I cried, I felt sorry for myself and I swear... if I hadn't already cleared my house full of everything bad, I would have eaten it!!!

Well, As I've said before, my boyfriend is amazing...  Beyond amazing...  He's started walking with me in the evenings, and it's a really special thing to me.  It's something to do together that doesn't require money, or going anywhere or anything.  And at the end of it, my clothes are completely soaking wet and my hair is too.  It makes me happy to see all the sweat.  And ya know what..  He doesn't think i'm gross because of it!  :)  Our puppies enjoy it too.  They like to be outside and to smell all the new things.  However, after about a mile, they are really tired.  It's really funny too.  My poor little daisy looks like she's barely able to go on.  She was wandering last night and got too close to the road.  I pulled on the leash to pull her closer.. she was so tired that she fell down and skidded across the sidewalk.  Poor thing looked so confused!  I really enjoy the walks though.  It strengthens our relationship all at the same time.  :)

So after my cheat, I got back on it.  I started doing more walking, and focusing on induction principles and decided to try some new recipes.  Well, that was Monday.  Today is Friday.

Today marks 1 full month that I've been doing Atkins.  I didn't realize this until way after I did my morning weigh-in.  Now, I weigh every day.  Sometimes multiple times a day.  It's an addiction, I know.  Sometimes it's a good thing, and sometimes it's not.  However, even when it's not, it's a motivator.  :)

Today, I got on the scale and had a small mantra in my mind.  The mantra said 270 something... 270 something...  I got on the scale and after it had finished, I looked down.

IT SAID 279!!!!!!  279... I've lost 14.5 lbs since I started.  It's on the beginning and I'm just getting started.


I have a new goal.  I want to lose 29 lbs by christmas.  If I'm under 250 by Christmas, it'll be such a blessing.  If it's more, I'll be ecstatic.  If it doesn't show 250, and it says anything less than 279, I'll still be happy.

Let's do this!

Oh.. and on the other wish...  I am dying to tell Elvis that I want to get married.  I know I shouldn't say anything and just let it happen when it happens... but I can't help myself!  I really want to get married.  I'll keep on wishing...
