Jersey, Dallas, and between.

HEAVY on a mission to "the fittest (and thinnest) I have ever been" while finding my place in this big city of Dallas, TX . My plan in life: I would live and DIE in my home state of New Jersey (because there is NO place better). Funny thing about plans is they are ever changing. having lived a short moment in St. Louis MO and now in Dallas TX I don't really know where I will end up next but I DO know that I wont be fat there. I wont. This blog may also be about bacon. And cheese.

Birthdays and Binges

It was Dales Birthday weekend as he has caught up to me in the age department turning a fresh ripe 32. I love parties, and celebrating, and indulging in special life moments as often as I can.

This weekend was no different. FUZZY NAVELS FOR BREAKFAST!! My friends and I had brunch at our favorite diner spot Sunday morning. I ordered to plan with Atkins: a bacon and white cheddar frittata and a fuzzy navel on the side. I know, the fuzzy navel is not in Atkins induction, but it could fall into the category of OWL (ongoing weight loss and phase two) as I had hit that two week mark.

One drink lead to four leading to a drunk fest all day, as I celebrated with wine and Chinese late that night. I. Blew. It.

Up from my all time low of 181 I weighed in today at 185. As I start over again. Healthy n low carb (not no carb) with a side of exercise and to the trusted app called My Fitness Pal, here I go again.

Restraint.

I HAVE NONE. Ok, that’s not true because I am not eating bread or pasta, or donuts.

I weighed in. I was supposed to wait until Sunday, yet the second my husband popped the new battery in the scale it was like I was a crack head with a pipe five feet away and no one around to stop me.

I actually got some encouragement to get on. “Should I weigh?” “Fuck ya” my sister replied. That’s all it took. Clothes off, hopped on…

181.8

I am assuming I have lost about 10 lbs since starting the Atkins a week and a half ago. Mostly water weight I am sure, and if I can hit 179 by Monday morning I will be the happiest girl in Texas. Wish me luck.

Sincerely,

No self control

We got a scale battery and I want to weigh in the morning. So bad. SO BAD!

Given the choice of what to buy at the store for snacks for school tonight my nine year old daughter chose seaweed wraps. Gag.

Six feelings about day six.

1. Skinny! I can see my shape changing and I am getting excited!

2. Proud! I made it through the first five days, a Friday and Saturday night, and pms…two weeks?? pft I could possibly stay on this forever!

3. Happy! My mood is shifting, it could be due to my diminishing waistline or the lack of processed foods and white grains putting me in a state of lethargic misery. Whatever, I will take it.

4. Exercise crazed! I have been doing lil mini workouts and it makes me feel great, energized, focused

5. Anxious, to weigh in, but determined to wait the full two weeks. After a twenty min rant about the scale yesterday my husband responded with “have some restraint woman” yes. I. can.

6. Inspired to inspire, I have a few friends in the weight loss wagon who keep falling off. KEEP ON FRIENDS, stay focused, change happens overnight, it might not be tonight or tomorrow night, but the morning you wake up and it happens the feeling you get is better than hot chocolate. ;)
