**Lisa's Weight Loss Journal**

[mycattaz]

I feel like such a failure, For the past few days I have not been on program(atkins) I would get up with good intention and then give in and eat something I was not suppose to. I feel like I have let alot of people down, but more then anything else I feel like I have let myself down.

I know right now I need to make a commitment to get back on plan. So right now, I am going to get back on plan before things get totaly out of hand..... I want this more then anything.

I going to start putting what I eat into fitday, recording what i eat, how much I eat..... And sticking to it, no matter what....

I don't think I have put on major weight or anything like that the past few days, but I do feel bloated, but that might be because of all the carbs I have put in my mouth the past few days....

when I get up in the morning I will post my weight, and measure... tomorrow is a new day, a new begining......

I can do this, I know I can.....

[mycattaz]

B- 2 eggs w/ bacon
coffee w/ non-dairy creamer

L-Chicken salad ( breast, mayo, celery, onion, liquid smoke) w/ water

D- Hamburger Steak ( onion)w/water

After putting everything into fitday for the day this is what I came up with....

Total: 1463
Fat: 110 987 69%
Sat: 34 305 21%
Poly: 19 171 12%

Carbs: 10 37 3%

I weighed this morning and yes I am up from last weigh in, by 7 lbs... I am going to work really hard to get this 7 lbs off this week..... So by next Thursday April 19th I should be back down to 347....

I feel good, and I am going to stay with it today and get my body back into Ketosis.....

[mycattaz]

Well its the introduction flu all over again... I feel awful... head is pounding, light headed..... stomach feels bad.... I know its from the overload of carbs I have had the past few days.....

I finished breakfast, lunch my stomach wouldn't let me eat my chicken salad.... think I am going to go and lay down and take a nap and see if my head will ease off....

[seb]

Lisa, you can do this! I know that after going off plan, it can be hard to get back and going, but stay at it, even if you're feeling poor right now. Hope the nap helps you.

[mycattaz]

Its been really tuff today... but its almost over.... I changed my menu for the dinner meal... I wanted eggs and bacon, so thats what I had..... I did go to bed and slept for almost 2 hours and did feel alittle better when i woke up..... I know tomorrow will be so much easier......

Just completed 1 1/2 hours of water aerobics.... feeling so much better today.... i did change my menu alittle... instead of chicken salad, I had two hamburger patties with cheese from Mcdonalds.... and diet coke....

[mycattaz]

Well I made it thur day two.... it wasn't that bad today... I have been busy that helped, I think..... And the ketosis stick are showing a trace, so glad that is happening so quickly..... Now I know I am back on plan and on my way to twoterville....

[mycattaz]

Day 3, today things are going pretty good..... trying my best to stick to it and stay into ketosis

[Edwards20]

Hey Lisa ... I had NO idea you had a journal. I hope I can stop by and visit with you. Congrats for getting back in gear. You can do this. We can do it together.

[mycattaz]

Thanks Candy, I just started it, thought it might help keep me accountable also I have put a link to my fitday....

Today I am going to go and walk, and get my mile in and I am off to the pool this afternoon for some water aerobics...I want to strive to do 5 days this week of walking.... at least 20 minutes or 1 mile.... I know i am going to the pool today, friday for aerobics....

I am craving salmon again today, so i will more then likely make me some salmon patties and have that with some lc ketchup.... IT Good that I am craving something good for me.... RIGHT?

[seb]

Lisa~sounds like things are going well. Getting into ketosis sure helps, doesn't it. I need to be more diligent about exercise.....wish it would stop raining.

Salmon patties are yummy. I'm making chicken patties tonight with chicken breasts that I grind in my food processor and add onion, celery, green pepper, mayo, egg and spices.

[Edwards20]

Save me some salmon patties girlie !! DH can't stand them, so I never cook them. But, I so miss my grandmother's salmon patties.

[mycattaz]

Seb the chicken ones sound really good... my dh can't stand the salmon patties, so I have to make him something different....

Well I completed 1 mile at the track plus did two hours in the pool.... I am really tired... but glad I did it... feel good to be able to complete it....

well I am off of here for the night, I am dead tired... just ready to eat dinner and go to bed....

until tomorrow

[Edwards20]

I am glad your DH lets you even cook the salmon in the house. Randy doesn't like the smell of fried salmon. But he will eat grilled all day long.

[seb]

Lisa, you're doing great with all that exercise

I am paying for it this morning.... ouch, it hurts...especially in my arms.... thank goodness for pain medication, now if it just would kick in....

Well, I am going out of town for a few day, there will be a computer there, hopefully I will find time to get on and read and post.... won't be back till thursday or friday.... just have to see how things go....

I promise to stay on track NO matter what.... I am carrying some of my foods with me, so I will make sure I have something handy...... My brother also does Atkins, mom does all his cooking but, tends to be alittle more free with it.... like using alittle flour, or regular ketchup.... I want to be alittle more stricter with it, so I am prepared...

be back soon

[Edwards20]

Hope you have a safe trip and good job on going prepared.

[mycattaz]

I am still out of town, and being good... My brother is down to 298 I am so jeolous.... but proud of him.... alittle over year ago about a year and 6 months my brother started atkins weighing in at 550 ...... he is doing so awesome...

I help my dd sign up today, after she is approve she will be on here posting... Her name is Fadtforever.... she need to loose about 80 lbs.... ok, got to get off of here.... I will try to post again tomorrow....

[Edwards20]

Lisa, that is incredible about your brother. Can't wait to met your DD. Hope you are having a good time.

I have been meaning to ask you what part of AL you live in. We aren't too far from the state line. My DD is in AL right now with her Granny.

[seb]

Lisa~your brother has done an awesome job. He must just feel wonderful about his success! I'll look for your DD. How is it going staying on track? My mom is a dear, but she adds things to foods also that I can't have. Frustrating when we are there, but I've just come to the conclusion that even if I hurt her feelings, I will not eat those things.

[mycattaz]

Candy I am in Odenville alabama, not too far off I-20.....

I have had another good day.... went with my son this morning to eat breakfast I had eggs and sausage and coffee... .Lunch I had a few nuts and some water... tonight i am having boiled eggs and water.... haven't really been that hungry...

tomorrow I am heading back home... want make it to water aerobics.... but, me and mom made it up, we have been out shopping and boy are my feet tired.... it was fun spending the day with her.... I look for DD to show up anytime... might have to call her and remind her....

It makes me feel good that I am sticking with it even with all the temptation in the house.... lol.. My mom is in the kitchen right now making a 3 minute cake she has feel in love with them....

well I am closing for now, will be back in my enviroment tomorrow and back to regular journaling and exercising... bye for now

Wow, from my inlaws (which is about 40 minutes from me), you are:

Total Est. Time: 1 hour, 32 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 68.38 miles

So you are less than 2.5 hours from me
