So on the 15th, I weighed in... and I was terribly surprised when the scale told me 276... I hadn't lost ANYTHING! UGH!!! I was so frustrated. I started logging my foods. I was still walking every day. I learned that I was eating too many veggies. Yea, the carbs were good... but they were still carbs.
I cut back. I ate even more fat, and less carbs. I was very careful with what I ate.
I debated on cheating for Thanksgiving... I debated until the morning of Thanksgiving if I would cheat or not. That morning, I decided... I would not cheat. All day long, I was tempted. Pies, Stuffing, Mashed potatoes! OH MY!!! At Elvis's parent's house, I was tempted with rice, tortillas, and eventually birthday cake. Anyone that knows me, is that cake is my favorite thing in this world! For me to say no thank you, to CAKE, is amazing. I was so incredibly proud of that.
This morning, I weighed in as part of our biweekly weigh in for the Atkins group I'm a part of on facebook. I hoped on the scale this morning and I wanted it to read what it had a few days ago... I chanted that weight in my head over and over... finally, I looked down... it read 270!!! Huzzah, I lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks! AND, on top of that, it was an additional .5 lbs than I was hoping for... so, more huzzahs!!!
Going forward I'm just going to keep it up... Let's pray I can get thru these holidays like I did the last one!
