Well I got thru Sunday and MLB game AND stayed on Atkins, no beer, no nachos, no margaritas, no pizza or loaded chili dogs! One sausage on a stick and then some pecans & almonds from home. The best news is I was able to walk all the way from the car into the stadium, up to our seats and then back out to car without assistance or even hurting---I haven't been able to do that in over 10 years!!! Last year if I wanted to go to a baseball game with everyone else, I had to swallow hard and take a motored wheelchair. The arthritis in my back was so bad it hurt to walk across the street much less all the walking and stairs at one the huge sports stadiums. Between the weight loss (even just the few I have loss so far) plus the pool exercises and the chiropractor visits, have made just a vast improvement in my mobility. I am so excited, no pain this morning!!! The next challenge is the Dallas/Ft Worth airport next week. And trips thru airport usually make me cry.
Today I am starting a fat fast in earnest, gotta get off this plateau thing. 250 cal/4x per day, majority of the cal from fat, Atkins says it will work
Yesterday I don't think I managed the cal part but I did limit meals to 4 and lower cal counts. The sausage on the stick I am sure was much more but that was the most I ate at any one time. Today its eggs, half & half in the coffee, cream cheese, maybe an all beef weiner. And lots of water plus the daily vitamins.
Wish me luck, the health benefits are great, BUT I want more! I want the weight numbers to go down! Yeah, I want to be a LOSER!! :)
