Okay, I didn't listen to the good doctor and have all my bloodwork done prior to Atkins but I had some drawn today. I should know the results next week I suppose.

The reason the tests were ordered (mostly looking at the thyroid) is because of an irregular heartbeat. I have always had heart palpitations but now my heart is pretty much constantly going nuts and I am so very tired all the time. So the doc said it could be my thyroid.

I have always been a very healthy person...

Well, Monday will be 2 months since I started Atkins. I have lost 28 pounds. I love that! I weigh every Saturday morning and measure. This morning I didn't show a weighloss but I did lose 1 1/2 inches. However I keep losing it from my booty. I really don't want to lose it there. Too bad you can't just say TUMMY go away!!!!!

Well, at least its coming off!

I will still sometimes go on a family walk on Wed. We usually go about 1.5 to 2 miles. Nothing too hard for the kids.

The yoga this morning was hard on my back....

Today is my anniversary! Yeah! One month and 22 lbs gone! Woo HOO! I weighed in this morning and have lost 22 total and another 3 1/2 inches! I'm STOKED!
I am so glad that I stuck with it. I am thinking of moving on to OWL but I don't want to lessen the 2 lbs a week that I am losing right now and I am satisfied with the foods I have so I might wait a little while longer.

Instead of the treadmill and weights today I worked my booty off outside. Hubby, daughter...
