I Feel

Like crap. I do have to say, however, that eating more of the things that I enjoy eating is nice. But maybe taking most of my carbs out of my diet in such a fashion does not agree with my body. I feel so tired, so energy-less, just crappy in general. I did a lot of research and apparently this is very normal. I hope it passes soon though. The toll it's taking is excruciating. And when I step on that scale on Monday, it better be less than what I weighed before or it's over.

I will break up with Dr. Atkins myself...

Small Miracles And A Good Idea

Holy crap!!! That's all I can say. I stepped on the scale tonight and it actually said 218!! 218!!! That's a freakin pound a day I lost! These last 4 or so days have gone pretty well. My last mistake involved a huge apple fritter. Trust me, not pretty. But since then, it's been going well. I did decide that trying the low-calorie thing was not working for me. Too much counting and having to think about it constantly, not to mention I felt starving all the time.

I boldly say that I am going to try out the Adkins diet. It's not been a diet that I believed in firmly, but it does give me a little more freedom to eat things that I like. Meat, cheese, and eggs. And butter, mayo.... things like that. I'm not gonna lie, I've been craving the bread and sweets like crazy, but getting to eat hot wings on a diet is sorta kick ass. I realize that I can't give up carbs forever, but when I get to my goal weight (yes I said "when" and not if), I will have to figure out how to keep up with some maintenance. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it I guess.

I suppose this week wasn't a complete waste like I thought it would be. I set myself up for failure and for the first time, I didn't fail. I realize that next week may have a different outcome, but hey, it works for now.

It's all I can ask for.

Yesterday

I don't even want to talk about it...

Maybe today will be better.
