Since I started Atkins/low carb in June I have lost and gained and lost and gained what seems to be the same 5-10 pounds a few times. I am back to the gained and am going to switch my clippie back to the 5 pound from the 10 pound 
. It seems like I get started doing really well and then I have a day where I cheat and once I cheat I just keep eating all the "forbidden" things in the house, even though I have been really trying to keep higher carb things out of the house, and then 1 day of cheating turns in to 2 and 3 and 4 days. I am hoping that if I journal I will keep myself better in check and if I cheat 1 day hopefully it will motivate me to get right back on track the next day! I am going to set a few goals for myself for the next few weeks until we leave for our trip to WDW on Dec. 18 and then will set some new goals for our trip and then again for the holidays and hopefully that will help me get through these harder times. My final goal is to lose about another 10-15 pounds from where I am now!
It is my work Christmas party on Dec. 13 and my first goal is to reclaim my 10 pound clippie by then! A friend is making me a beautiful long spaghetti strap dress for that night and if I could lose a few pounds by then it would just look that much nicer on me. I am planning on starting induction again tomorrow (have been really cutting back on carbs the last 2 days) and having my cheat free star go up every day until then.
Next goal is to not eat any nuts, Atkins Advantage bars, Atkins or Russel Stouvers lo carb candies before our trip to WDW in 16 days. It seems like when I eat just 1 little bit of any of these things it sets off my cravings and then my cheating starts big time so I plan on avoiding all of that kind of stuff and again sticking to induction.
Next goal is to be more consistent with exercising in the next few weeks. Even though this is a very busy time of the year I desrve some time for myself to exercise, now I just need to remember that LOL. I love my WATP tapes and I plan on doing at least the 2 mile tape 7 times before Dec. 13.
My next goal is to drink primarily water for the next few weeks. I am a good water drinker but have recently gotten into the habit of drinking 1-2 cups of coffee a day with cream and sugar free Davinci syrup and sometimes I think that makes a difference. I have also been drinking alot of diet soda again and I know I'd be better off with just plain water.
Well here I go again, hopefully this time I will get my 10 pound clippie and proceed on to my 15 (which is just 2 pounds away from my goal!) instead of backwards to the 5 again.
