Well I have to be honest and admit I did NOT stick with the plan Nov 1.  In the evening when I arrived home I remembered I had a bit of wine left.  I caved.  EVEN after my super supportive hubby tried to convince me to be good and stay the course.  But I didnt feel any judgment from him when I succumbed and had the wine.  Dinner was delish that night.  Filling but again, didn't feel stuffed!  For dessert, I know bad me! we had an apple with a bit of peanut butter and caramel dip.  In the future weeks to come, I perhaps need some kind of Atkins friendly treat to end the day on.

Also, I will not be publishing these posts until bed time, this way the posts are current and truthful! Or the next day!  OOPS went to bed last night before publishing this one!

Atkins Phase 20/ Day Two



Looked back on some of my old blogs and liked the Fitbit food stats.  I do have a mathematician in the house so I can ask him to verify my net carb number math stuff :)  Right honey? :)

NET CARBS 20

Very pleased with the Net Carb count and the carb precentage!  Did have a few hunger horrors today, but I packed well at work.

Drinking seltzer for dinner and hitting the sack early.  That tends to help me stay on track.  I did weigh in this morning, so tomorrow will start showing any changes, the good the bad and the ugly!

Atkins Phase 20/Day One

Welcome to my blog!  I have been on numerous diets, including Dukan, and LCHF.  I have tried Atkins in the past.  I like the wealth of information online along with the dashboard to better calculate (not a mathematician here!) the net carbs with ease.

I forgot to weigh myself this morning, but its above 270 I know.  Hopefully this will keep me better accountable and on track for the long term.  My goal is to be 150-160.  Maybe in year or two.

Short term goal, lose 20 lbs by end of year, I know BIG challenge with the holidays, but I can do it right?! :)

Of note, I do have a few things coming up that I know I will not be 100% on plan and I am ok with that:) Nov 10-12 I am on an anniversary mini trip with the hubby, yay 6 yrs!  So there will be much celebrating!!

Other short term goal, keep the course until the trip!!!

Here is Day one.  Come in at 21.1 net carbs!  As long as I follow it:)  Mondays I am at class from 6-9, hence the easy tuna packet.  And I will keep playing with the track posting.  Not sure if I like this. Didnt know how to "create a recipe" on the atkins page, and forgot to add the calories to the quick at, hence the generic cal increase.
