I'm proud of my fiance. He hasn't been doing Atkins as faithfully as me, but basically he eats what I eat (he's made me bacon and eggs for breakfast almost every day this week! :) ) and he's lost 6 lbs.! He doesn't have quite as much as I do to lose, only about 40-50 lbs. We're both hoping to slim down a little before our wedding in June.
We were hugging last night and noticed that we're closer together when we hug! :) I've also noticed that my skin feels a little looser (ew). Also, annoyingly (okay, yes, annoyingly, but can I really be that annoyed by losing weight??! :D) my legs seem to be getting skinnier. If there was any body part that I'd have to say I like the most and need to lose the least weight on (need to lose some, but would prefer to lose from my stomach/back first) it would be by legs. My what a jumbly sentence. Really, if it weren't for my stomach, my pants size would be like a size 10. My pants still fit okay around the waist, but the legs are baggier than ever.
Frustrated. Realized last night that the crushed ginger I put in a lot of my recipes has high fructose corn syrup in it. It's made by Christopher Ranch and just says 'ginger' on it so I figured it was cool. Was at the store yesterday and looking at the 'herb blends' from another manufacturer and was appalled at all of the fillers in them-- way beyond high fructose corn syrup.. had whey and other nasties in it. Luckily my crushed garlic, which I couldn't live without, has only a little bit of filler in it and it's Atkins-friendly. It's funny because I've been so good about not eating foods with sugar in the ingredients listing (I know some people are not as stringent about this; they'll eat something as long as it's low carb. I'll probably do that myself further down the road, more towards maintenance, but am trying to be more strict now). Will have to stick to fresh and powdered ginger from now on.
