First Day Done!

Ok, so I had a good day. I checked in with the forums on Atkins.com and they told me I need some more veggies today and a lot more water tomorrow. I came in at 14 net carbs today. I wasn't too hungry all day - not until dinner. I think I may have been so hungry only because it tasted so good. I stopped myself from getting seconds and am satisfied. I'm going to have some celery & cream cheese after I get the kids to bed as a before bed snack. I also have at least a 1/2L of water to finish off.

Walked at the Y today for 35 minutes! Go me!

I'm going to make a quiche tonight for breakfast tomorrow. Crustless, of course. :)

Good Morning!

Ok! Have eggs, bacon and slice of cheese on my plate! Yum! Heading to the Y after breakfast and then to the store for supplies. Weighed in this morning and it wasn't as bad as I feared it might! Now to just get the 2 liters of water into me today. That'll be the toughest goal.

New Year's Resolutions

I know, today is January 30th. I'm 30 days late with my New Year's resolutions. BUT, I wanted to make sure my resolutions were attainable. So, I've been pondering, assessing, pondering some more and have finally come up with what I think are some attainable goals for 2011.

First and foremost: lose 50 pounds. At a rate of 1lb per week, this goal should be easily attainable. Tomorrow I start the Atkins diet. I've done this before and had awesome success. However, two babies later killed that success. Also, working out at the Y Monday-Friday mornings. They have a childcare room, so that won't be a problem or a hindrance to my workouts.

Secondly, I'd like to get one of my novels finished. That is a lofty goal, so I'm reducing it to writing an hour each day. Creative writing. And if that is working on a novel, a short story or just some character exercises - I'll be happy.

Third, I want to spend an hour each week working on the blogs. Mine, Ben's and Madi's. I've really gotten out of the habit of doing their updates and time has flown. So...time to get back into it.

Fourth, find my happy.

So, raise your glasses up! Here's to an improved me, one that's happier, healthier, creative and communicating. Happy New Year!
