I haven't been posting to my blog even though I am still working out and losing it...the fat that is.

Okay, ladies, I'm going to give it to you straight: I know that (some of?) you are moms and I know moms are busy. It can be a challenge to find the time to do what you need to do. But I will tell you what the main difference is between my first attempt at Atkins, several years ago, and this later attempt, which has been more successful. The main difference is:

COMMITMENT.

Everything starts there. Because I am committed, I take a few minutes a day to plan out my meals on Fitday (it's free, and it's super-helpful). Because I am committed, I read and re-read the book...

13 hours (and that half session) since I started Callanetics.

That 10/10 dvd really saved me.

I'm too stressed to count so it's better to just do the exercises until Callan tells me to stop.

I am able to focus on relaxing.

A quick note to record this too.

I'm beat. I stay up through nights writing my thesis. After a few hours of sleep I get up take my little one to day care (unless my husband does) and get to work. There I stare at the computer for 8 hours trying to do some work while my thoughts are with my thesis.

I run to to the day care center only to arrive just in time and get to home with a raging toddler. Other days I need to stay later at the office to balance my hours. Those days are even worse. I get home to sulking husband and a hyperactive toddler.

I did get up to exercise at 4:30 which was a good thing because they had a 'welcome back" luncheon and I did have a small piece of cake. Didn't taste as good as I thought it would. Luckily I had a lot of physical activity so maybe I won't see the effect. Lost 1 more pound today. It's crazy!!
