I also had some vodka. I've never had a problem with alcohol aside from slowing down weight loss in the years Ive followed this woe.

I woke up this morning, and could barely get out of bed. I was shaking very badly, was kind of dizzy and just generally felt horrible. It wasn't a hangover feeling, it was completely different. right away I went downstairs and made myself a protein shake, the quickest thing i could grab. Didn't help. Figuring it had to be a blood sugar issue, i grabbed a small bottle of apple juice and had half of it. almost instantly i was fine.

I'm definately going to have to go to the dr. and get my bloodwork done. This has never happened to me before. :confused:

Aside from having the small bit of apple juice (which was 15g's of carbs) i've still managed to keep my carbs at 30 net. which is pretty good. I thought today would be a write off. Glad to report it wasn't. ]]> sadie147 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/465-interesting-day-6.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/457-day-5.html Fri, 09 Jan 2009 21:39:32 GMT Skipped a couple of days blogging, but I've made it through to day 5!

Exercise has been good, ran 2miles on Tues and Thurs, 1.5 hours of very heavy snow shovelling Wed. Today my calves were screaming to so i took a rest day.

Eating has been on track, though I did have a bit of peanut butter yesterday. Not a trigger food for me,b ut a problem food with portion sizes. I think my definition of a tbsn and real tbsn are very different.

Hopefully i can get through he weekend unscathed! ]]> sadie147 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/457-day-5.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/442-day-2.html Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:32:45 GMT well day 1 down no problem, and half way through day 2!

didn't exercise yesterday but did eat on plan.

today got in 15 mins of pilates, and a 30 minute run. I was only plannin on running 20 mins and was surprised at being able to do 30. It's been about 3 weeks since i've run at all.

Hopefully wont be too sore tomorrow. ]]> sadie147 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/442-day-2.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/433-2009-resolutions.html Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:19:01 GMT didn't do very well with my eating over the holidays, so i'm starting back at a clean induction for at least a week to get back on track. then i'll fast track adding back in my maintenance foods, though i will do it one food at a time.
So my commitments to myself:

-clean up my eating

-back to my regular exercise routine.

-drink water! i've been bad at this one lately.

I'm going to try to alternate between running and stationary bike to mix it up. i normally just run. also i'm going to add pilates back into my routine, along witht he wii fit yoga i've been doing. I found in the past pilates has made a difference, but i got bored with it.

Well there they are..resolutions for 2009!:dancing1 ]]> sadie147 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/433-2009-resolutions.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/159-summer-update.html Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:09:56 GMT I haven't been here much as we've been up north at our cottage most of the summer, and i don't logon much from there..so thought i'd post an update while i'm home. Heading backup up there for 2 weeks again next week.

I've managed to hold steady at 135 which includes my 5lb loss. I haven't been great with my running schedule as we've had alot of company up north, and it's done nothing but rain this summer! I'm hoping to get back on track next week.

Since i haven't been running, I haven't measured lately, i'll leave that until i start up again. I doubt there's much change. ]]> sadie147 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/159-summer-update.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/40-just-some-thoughts-s.html Wed, 11 Jun 2008 01:46:11 GMT So something interesting keeps happening...regularily after I run (30-40 mins) I get a really really strong ammonia smell in my nose. I've researched it on the net, ad have found that it's the biproduct of protein metabolism, in the kidneys... which has me sort of baffled. my current %'s are around 30% protein, 50% fat and 20% carbs...which has been my maintenance %'s for some time. This issue has recently just started..and I'm not sure why.

If my body has run out of carbs for fuel (some days i'm eating 100g's), then why is it not burning fat next? seems to be burning protein. I'm stumped by this, and I've never seen anyone post about this on this board before.

I'm going to try a higher carb and fat breakfast and morning snack(I run around lunchtime).

Today it happened and my breakfast consisted of:

1/2 large avocado
1 cup soy milk
Protein shake
coffee with cream


Before my next run, I'm going to go back to my 2 slices whole grain bread with peanut butter, and maybe a small omlette mid morning. Or maybe 1/2 a grapefruit with yogurt for a snack.


Curious to see if it works... ]]> sadie147 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/40-just-some-thoughts-s.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/36-need-get-back-track.html Mon, 09 Jun 2008 12:53:12 GMT I've decided to make this blog my main journal....

I've been keeping up with my running, though this past weekend the 100+ weather made that really difficult to say the least!

Eating wise i haven't been great, so i need to work on that.

I think my weight is holding steady, I will weigh again this wednesday.

Bought a small fan yesterday and have the a/c on today so hopefully i'll be able to get in a good run.

Was paged last night at 1:30 then again at 5 so didn't get much sleep...that might not help! ]]> sadie147 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/36-need-get-back-track.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/1-jens-blog.html Wed, 21 May 2008 15:30:16 GMT Testing out the blog feature...

i'm bad enough at remembering to post to my journal..lets see if i can remember to blog :D ]]> sadie147 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/sadie147/1-jens-blog.html
