I tested again and weighed in this morning. Not in ketosis and I gained two pounds!!! I am negative for any ketosis. How can that be? Where are the hidden carbs? Plus, my shins and legs ached all night. What am I doing wrong? I'm going to cut out almonds which I just added. Really, that is all I can think of. I am taking vitamins and drinking over 64 oz of water. Plus, I walk at least a half hour six days a week. I'm lifting weights about two to three days a week. Maybe I am eating too much cheese and not enough vegetables. I could scream but I won't. I'll keep hanging on because without this my life isn't worth much. I can't go back to living to eat.

I wish I had an example of a perfect meal plan in Atkins that I could eat. I guess I am picky- I gag on hardboiled eggs and can't stomach the thought of tuna. I can digest the omelets with salsa or RedHot. I am trying so hard! I just cannot believe that I gained weight! Everyone around me thinks I am crazy. They think I'm going to fall off the wagon and gain all the weight and more back. I want to prove them wrong. However, it's been weeks without a pound lost. My old clothes are big but not all are falling off. Its dumb to buy new clothes until I'm in a smaller size. I feel stuck and alone and confused. I don't want to switch diets because I love not dealing with cravings plus I never liked fruit anyway! Yet, I don't know if I can get any stricter on this. I guess I just have to be patient but that is easier said than done...

Finally bought the ketostix at the store. I tested in late afternoon and the strip color didn't change. Tested again a few minutes ago with the same results. I plan to test again tomorrow when I get up. I guess I'm not surprised. I haven't had the ketosis breath. I wonder if my portion sizes are added to my carb count? I plan to get a food scale and start weighing and measuring everything! Also, although I try to avoid it, the culprit might be going out to eat. I really don't enjoy restaurants since starting Atkins. I feel pretty miserable not being able to order my favorites. Then again, I just remember how I was starting to get so fat I could hardly sit in the booth...

I went to a wedding yesterday. Everyone was amazed at how good I looked. We were dancing and my friend took my sweater off me because it was pretty hot. Another friend came up and grabbed me and said, "Oh my God, I didn't recognize you! You look great!!!". Everyone knows about me going to the gym and attributed the weightless to that. I was thinking how I walked 30 minutes a day for a year and only lost ten pounds. Then, I go on Atkins and lose another thirty. However, maybe the exercise toned me more. My arms actually seem to be shaping up. Maybe I won't need plastic surgery?

I already did the treadmill and am now going to walk the dog!

I feel so much better right now. I weighed in at 232 which is still a pound over my lowest weight. I guess I should only weigh myself on Sunday but it is a huge motivater for me. I couldn't sleep last night. I was up to about 3:30 am. Maybe I was hungry? In the old days, I would have gotten out of bed and eaten Raman noodles or something...

I ate my omelet, cheese, salsa, bacon, and one piece of sausage for breakfast. I also had my coffee with two tbs of heavy whipping cream. I actually measured. I need to do this because I think I am putting in the wrong sizes. I religiously input all of my food and exercise into the app, "Myfitnesspal.". I also record everything in a paper Atkins diary book that came with the carb counter book.

Right now, I'm listening to The Atkins Essentials audiobook again. I still don't know why I'm not losing more. Maybe I need to eat even more vegetables? I love them but do get sick of them if I overdo it. I hope there is a vegetable tray or salad at this party! I do feel good skipping the cake and desserts. I've had so much will power that I have really surprised everyone. Good, how I used to love icing! I would eat so much. Now, I think back and feel sick. Was it worth it? No way...

Amy, my gym friend, didn't contact me about the gym. I wouldn't mind going tonight but I think it closes early on Saturday. That's okay. I can do some weights here at home. I even have one of those big machines that was given to me by a friend. I am loathe to try that Julian Michael's Shred. I don't want to hurt myself overdoing it.
