So I've lost 12 lbs. in 4 weeks. 4lbs first and second wk and 3 the third wk. Struggled to lose 1 lbs. last week. I do hope this isn't the beginning of a slump or plateau or whatever.
But....I've given myself a reality check this morning. Analyzing some "nighttime" habits and wondering why I have them. Could be that I'm not eating enough during the day then by night as I cuddle on the couch to watch my fav. programs I get up 10 times to wander into the kitchen in search of that magic guilt free, carb free, calorie free snack that I can dive right into and eat until my hearts content. I have to laugh at myself as I nibbled on a small handful of macadamia nuts, 1 cup salad w/1 chicken wing and wonder what else there may be that may do the trick. I found myself in front of the refrig. with a Reddi Wip can in hand squirting it into my mouth. Funny that I don't really like sweets. That's never been my problem.
So, as of today I've decided to eat more during the day, hungry or not and see if this will kill the beast.
I'm also struggling with exercise or lack there of. I lost 60 lbs on Atkins previously but was also a member of a gym right around the corner. I went everyday and loved it. It has since closed down. I can't afford another membership and I have a fear of walking in my neighborhood since I was attacked by a pitbull and almost killed. I'm wondering if I could get up the nerve to somehow ask my Hispanic neighbor (who doesn't speak english and vice-versa) if I could take his very large dog who is pinned up in a small cage for walks. I feel so sorry for that dog and know it would be good for both of us.
So, as of today, good breakfast - check
begin exercise - check
no more grazing - check (that sounds so gross)
knock off the Atkins bars and shakes that may be stalling me - check
