Gah! Saying this here, cos if I say it in the Lobby I'll start a fight! People if you say "I'm doing Atkins and I'm not losing" and then go on to describe some bats**t crazy stuff that resembles Atkins like I resemble Kate bloody Moss, then newsflash! You're not doing Atkins. Describe it as "my bats**t crazy plan" if you want to, but stop calling it Atkins.

Atkins is customisable of course, but within parameters. There comes a point when you get outside of those and you are no longer doing Atkins. If that's working for you, then great! Keep it up! Publish a...

Well I am down two pounds today. Originally, I weighed myself with my gown on and I was the same so I took it off and it read 218... Now I'm wondering if I have in fact lost weight or if I've been 218 all along... Don't know but I'll take it.

Still trying to eat to my BMR, 1500-1800 calories. I would rather stay at the 1500 range though, although it did say I could eat at 1800 and lose two pounds per week...hmm! Why don't I believe that one!
Perhaps because weight loss has always meant deprivation for me, so unless I am eating around 1200 calories I don't think it is going...

well shyt.

315.4

Minigoal was to be at or lower than 299 by today.

I was at 311 a few days ago. One day of not biking to work and one cheat night later, and here we are. Fvck.

As always, it's my own fault, and I know that and why. So, we're going to disney this weekend, and I've lost 39 lbs. That will definitely help from what I was before. I'm also in better shape from biking over 400 miles so I think I'll do ok, but I'm dissapointed in myself.

I also know weights can vary day to day since I didn't bike yesterday I'm fully...

Along with getting my eating better under control and thinking clearer, I have some new found energy and freed up focus and I find I have been busy a lot lately doing what I call tying up loose ends--getting all those niggling little things done that add up little by little to less overall stress in my life.

I also have been faced with that part of the weight loss process that seems to be inevitable for me--redefining my relationship with food. I am sort of blown away by how much of a fight I suddenly started seeing waged by a part of me that seems bent on returning to self destruction...

Ginger Chicken Marinade

¼ c. olive oil
¼ c. soy sauce
1 T. lemon juice
2 cloves of garlic, minced (or 2 t. powder)
1 small piece of ginger, minced (about 1”)
2 t. curry
1 t. cumin
1 t. oregano
1 t. black pepper

Mix together and pour over chicken in a covered bowl or ziplock bag and place in the fridge until ready to grill, turning as needed. Marinate at least 3 hours or overnight.

This is also good with pork.

Also, this one is, I believe, a Kraft recipe, and it's awesome! Not a marinade, but...
