Paige E's Journal, 31 May 2008

Tomorrow is weigh in day.

I'm kinda getting the hang of this Atkins thing, I think!! I really feel like I'm finally in a groove. I am so enjoying the fact that I added in berries. They taste like such a treat, although I've figured out I can't eat more than 1/2 cup of strawberries or 1/4 cup of other berries - if I go over that in one sitting I start craving other sugar. But a little goes a long ways, so I'm okay with limiting the portions.

I've been better about my water intake the last three or four days, as well. Those mix-ins are a god send. I am not doing more than one a day, but they sure make getting your water down easy!! I'm making my own rasberry tea tomorrow - I think I need a break from the artificial stuff.

Now - to work on the working out thing....Well, something always needs improving, doesn't it???

I realized today that I had set a goal of being down a total of 20 lbs by tomorrow. Hmmmm....don't think that's going to happen. I'd have to lose 3 lbs this week - and since I did so badly last weekend I think I kind of blew that goal. I'll be happy with a loss, no matter how much it is.

I have to journal my food right now because I'm wanting a snack and I need to know if I can have what I want!! ha!

Did I mention that I feel like I'm still eating A LOT. I seem to have a hunger all the time - at least it's for the right foods!

BREAKFAST
1 hunk of havarti cheese = 1C
1/4 cup of cauliflower with butter = 1C
leftover small tuna salad with greens = 2C
1 cup of coffee with h/c = 0C

LUNCH
12 slices of bacon (seriously!!!) = 0C
1/4c of blackberries with cream = 3C

DINNER
rotisserie chicken with mayo = 1C

OTHER
1 slice of muenster cheese = 1C
1 crystal light mixer = 1C

TOTAL = 10C

Well, I guess that answers that - I'm going for the pizza (made with a low-carb tortilla, of course!!). I should probably consider not eating so late, but I'm up until 2 or 3am sometimes, so it's hard to go from normal dinner time (about 6ish) and then last until then without eating. I refuse to worry about it right now!!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I was happy when I added in the berries too and like you I have to limit them. I'm so glad you are happy with Atkins. I love that I can eat when I want. I do have a problem at night so I ussually end up eating nuts or cheese. Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow. 3 pounds is doable.

Good job of being in tune with your body with sugar cravings. You're doing a great job. I tend to stay up till 2 or 3am too. I know what you mean about getting a little hungry later on in the evening. I usually just make myself a cup of tea and it goes away! :)

I can't wait to have berries again. We only have imports here, so I'm going to wait until the local ones are ready and give myself a treat!! You're doing great Paige!!

Even though you didn't make your goal, you've still done great. Great also that you figured out your threshold on the berries. Wow, you're a night owl. I'm a 10:30-11:30 bedtime person!
