Well its June 5th... once again..im restarting.."sigh". But Im being opptimistic. I think I'll do well this time. It may not be down to the line on everything..but its a change. Start by cutting back on my soda consumption and increasing my water consumption. Happy to say..ive drank 32oz this morning already. Am trying a Fruit2O today..its not bad. Since i dont like water this is a better option for me. 2nd thing to do is to bring my own lunches. So i dont have to try and figure out what im gonna eat for the day. Although i do like the salads at McD's. 3rd thing to do is get back into a routine of exercising. I have a membership to Curves....I'll restart there today. And i have some taebo tapes...i get a kick out of doing those. Although i find some of their moves a little hard to do with my back being the way it is. I've also taken on
the challenge of walking the puppy.lol Lets just say my shoulders got a great working out...she runs in circles.lol. 3 Goals is a good start...i think.

So heres my food for the day.
B - cheese omelet
L - salad (lettuce, egg, cheese) - hotdogs
not sure whats for dinner...
and i have a couple of hb eggs for snacks.

Welcome back to Low Carb'in it

I have been on Atkins several times

But this time I'm determined...I bet you are too! I noticed that we are approximately the same weight...well, we'll get down to onederland soon enough

I just wanted to say Hi and to wish you luck

erg1269 · 06-06-2006, 06:19 AM

Hi Amber... thanks... i need all the encouragement i can get. I know its a struggle.. im trying to be more active with what i do..but its just so hard. But im trying...and thats all i can offer. My doctor put me on atkins...in the beginning i lost like 20lbs... then i didnt have time to watch what i ate...so i gained it all back. But im restarting again... i wanna see if i can lose some of this weight before tax season starts again lol. My daughter is doing a great job of losing...she is 14.. My son needs to exercise more though. He is definately getting too chuncky..and i dont want him to be picked on when school starts... so i need to start doing things with him...Im hoping now that its summer to start bike riding with him... we'll see how that goes...

Day two.
Ive drank my 32oz so far of water...on the way to work. I'll go downstairs to the deli to get me an omellete and i brought my lunch...
L - 2 hb eggs
2oz - cheese
2 hotdogs.
i know hotdogs arent good for ya... but ive been craving them...and i figured if i eat them without the bread...and all the condiments...im doing good.
I didnt fair so well with dinner last night. The grandma made speghetti and garlicbread. I ate a small portion of speghetti..but over did it on the gb. "sighs" problem was it tasted soooooo good.
I did numerous activities though. I walked at lunch time.. and i worked out at curves..and i walked the puppy and i played basketball with my daughter and gained some shin splints lol.
Tonite were having chicken...so i think that'll be good for me..

erg1269 · 06-06-2006, 01:18 PM

thanks..im trying... one baby step at a time

erg1269 · 06-08-2006, 07:38 PM

Well its been a really rough day. I went to work only to come home. Grandma called this morning to say she was headed to the hospital.. her heart was giving her problems. She has been stablized and she has to spend the night.
The worst problem...is ive done nothing but eat alllllll day. Im such an emotional eater...and stress just does me in.

kmf1028 · 06-09-2006, 12:22 PM

Sorry to hear about your grandmother, I hope everthings goes ok with her.

I am the same, just take it one step at a time and maybe find something else to do instead of eat, maybe read, turn up the music, or even just come here.

erg1269 · 08-04-2006, 10:17 AM

its been awhile since ive visted here... almost forgot i had this place to go.

well todays thoughts and such are of frustration and anger...

tuesday i spent my day at the hospital with david... trying to support him during this procedure... which im thankful they didnt find any blockages around his heart... but the doctors (who know best) give him instructions and he chooses to not follow completely. HELLLLOOOOOO if you dont relax and rest you could bleed internally or bleed to death!..what is it a macho thing... trying to prove how quickly you can off yourself? i dont get it.

and then...after coming home after an outpatient procedure...only to return back to the ER because of complications...
hello... 2nd wake up call!

i tell him to rest and relax...i even take the kids out of the house... he leaves while im gone.

WHY DONT YOU LISTEN!

im your wife after all...doesnt that account for something?????

erg1269 · 01-20-2008, 06:59 AM

Well I've decided to start again --- keeping a log of my changes, feelings, ups and downs...etc...

Well its Sunday -- I havent worked out since the 9th.. bad girl -- and i really have no excuses except for one day! So again I start. I decided to walk to day to kick start my week. My goal is to walk atleast 3 days a week. Mon, Wed and Fri. Three simple days to commit myself. Treadmill is set up and facing the tv so i want to watch a show while i walk i can. Its also close the computer so i can put on some music to jam too.

Ive tried challenging my dad to walking atleast 3 days a week. It was hard to come up with a goal in the end. But i told him if he walked i would take him and my mom to the mystery dinner theater. I know i know dont use food as a lure...but they dont eat out often and they really enjoyed it the last time went for their 50th Anniversary.

I find it really hard to make up menus as i go. I find myself not wanting any of the food when that time comes. Let alone trying to find food that my kids will eat as well -- they too are overweight and im really concerned for them. I really dont want them to have health problems. We have diabetes that runs in our family genes as it is... i dont want to see them come down with that as well as myself.

ok im off...need to shower... just walked .54 miles in 10.5 minutes. WOO!

erg1269 · 01-21-2008, 06:01 PM
