Good morning STACers!

Hope everyone has a great low carb day! This works, stick with it. I've been back for 3 weeks, have lost 8.5 pounds, and have not had one hungry moment. We can do it!!!

Day 5. Yesterday I spent all day at the hospital and ended up not doing so well. Forgot to eat all day. at 2 I grabbed a dredded atkins bar. I know they aren't allowed, but when I lack options I figure better that than a candy bar or chips in the machines at the hospital. I keep one of the dredded things in my glove compartment just for those occasions. (I tend to forget food in my car, and I HATE discovering it months later!) Anyway, then went out with my SIL for dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. Ate WAY too much. All atkins friendly, just know I over did the veggies as I had a salad, broc, and mashed cali all in that meal. Still planning to stick with it today, but feel so blah. The emotinal rolercoaster I'm on right now keeps making me think I don't care how much I weigh. But I KNOW I do care. I hate being an emotional eater. Oh wel. Today is a new day. Hopefully things will start looking up! Hope everyone is seeing the benefits of the WOL and feeling good while doing so.

I'm in a mini-stall. I have hopefully diagnosed it as not getting enough calories and being in starvation mode. I haven't been doing my Fitday logs because I'm so "smart". Turns out I'm not as smart as I thought I was and was under 1000 calories most of the last week. Lean meats and decreased appetite have stalled me. Time to hit the sausage and butter to lose weight . I love this WOE.

Wakey-wakey eggs and bac-ey!

Good morning everyone!

Feeling good, melting away!

Cragsdale - don't beat yourself up! That Atkins bar was a great back up when you were in need and had no options. The last time I did Atkins I wen toff when my friend had her baby and I was in the hospital with her for two days!

Well, anyways, I'm off to take on the day!

Top of the morning to everyone. Another Monday morning. I feel a bit sluggish today, ate too much at a brunch yesterday, and I stillfeel it today. I'm going to have to do a double work out this evening to make up for it. Have a great one!

Happy Monday STAC'ers

Today I have to drink more water. I screwed up yesterday and left my water at home so I had a day with diet soda. Then some water in the evening but not enough I am afraid. I weighed the same this AM. I am a scale hopper so I will weighagain soon.

I feel pretty good- mentally awake. Well rested. My ketostick was dark purple yesterday so I know that I am on track and I have been getting plenty of vegis in for the last 3-4 days. I finally feel like I have a handle on my vegi eating.

I agree with Plsmachic, Cragsdale. I keep emergency food around for the same purpose. I usually have jerky (turkey jerky), pepperoni, nuts (not for induction), protein bars and Atkins shakes in my car for when I find myself in crunch. One of the big problems with me is lack of appetite and every once in awhile I get really busy and forget to eat and then all of the sudden BAM I am starving and I think my only option is fast food or an expensive salad.

I will be going to the gym again and walking on the treadmill and building up my time on the elipitical as well as working on my upper body. I am easing back into weight training. Starting with the upperbody since I am nursing a bad knee.m

Have a great day

Morning all. Fell off a bit Saturday evening, then didn't eat till dinner last night. Lack of planning ahead, totally my fault. Back on the straight and narrow today! Hope everyone has a great low carb day.

Up early, feel strangely better for some reason.. its only Day 3 of induction, but it makes me feel better just being back on the plan. Eggs and sausage for breakfast, 2 small porkchops for lunch with a string cheese. for Dinner it will be a spinach salad and grilled chicken thighs.. mmmmm...

Water is still the toughest thing to get dialed into drinking..

hi everyone!

I had a bit of a slip this weekend too. vanilla cake. I had a piece of it! it seems like there's just no way to duplicate it in a low-carb way (without resorting to gluten, I suppose)! d'oh! back on the wagon now. surprisingly, no raging cravings after eating it, nothing too bad. I had a huge breakfast the morning after, tons of protein and fat, good stuff...but a little bit of potato. but since then, no cravings. no more potato or cake like that again for a good long time.

thank goodness the few lbs I'd gone up a few weeks ago are gone, so maybe I'm back on the way down.
