Ginger's 3rd time around journal

[gshoemate]

Well, here I am again on Atkins for the 3rd time (or is it 4th, I have lost count). I am almost done with day 3 and so far so good. It is tough, but I am looking at it from a differant prospective. Instead of thinking of it as a diet, and me losing weight, I am thinking of it as bettering me and my family.

I have low blood sugar and carbs to evil things to me. They make me tired, very very very cranky and just no fun to be around. I am tired of taking naps all the time and missing out of my childrens day. I am tired of being grumpy all the time, so grumpy that the littlest thing can set me off.

I want to be happy, I want to have fun, and in order to do that, I need to get the carbs out of my life. And in the process, hopefully I will lose weight and buff up my muscles.

So, day 3 almost down and I am learning to live without carbs, even with all the temptations.

Thanks for listening.

Welcome to WISH Ginger! And who's counting how many times you have begun the process? It is this ONE time that counts the most, because you are determined to succeed for a very good reason. To be healthier....and if that includes the family then it is an added benefit.

YOU CAN DO THIS and we are here to listen. ::MickeyMo ::MickeyMo

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Well day 4 was going pretty good. I had a great workout, took the kids out to lunch but stayed on track (even though the garlic bread was calling my name) but I did slip this evening. It is DS's birthday and I had a small piece of cake :sad: And I can honestly say it didn't taste very good. It was to sweet. But I knew if I sat here and had to look and smell it all night that I would end up getting into it in the middle of the night and eating half of it..........or more. So, I slipped to temptation and I am done with it, now I can move on to my healthy dinner.
