Alright... well, I'm tired today. I won't lie. Tonya and I got about 2 hours of sleep before jumping into my van at 2AM and driving 5 hours to the Philadelphia walkathon for Angelman Syndrome. It was a WONDERFUL ride, hardly any traffic, and the walkathon was great! I just wish I had more energy AFTER the 3.1 mile walk to enjoy it! I wore flip flops, jeans, a long sleeved t-shirt with the Angelman t-shirt over it and boy, WAS I FUCKING HOT. And not the "hot" sexy type. The "hot" as in, HOLY SHIT I'M ON FIRE. Pouring sweat off my forehead! What a workout pushing Andrea in the stroller! Luckily, Tonya took over at least 1/2 the walk with pushing... I don't know what I would have done without her! :) Since now that I'm in ketosis (it has been confirmed!) I'm doing the atkins. After the walk, I felt exhausted and I knew my body was telling me to eat. So I ate a hot dog! Still Atkins safe ;)
Well, I got home last night, and jumped on the scale- 198.8! YIPPEEEEE! I fell below 200!!
No, it gets BETTER. Here it is, Sunday... and look at the scale NOW!
197.2 at 2pm! :)
it's WORKING!!
I didn't make my May 14th goal of 196, sadly. But that goal was based on starting at 205/6! I had to readjust EVERYTHING as soon as the new scale came in, and broke my heart :(
BUT do not fret! I am currently very thrilled with this progress. I started out at 215, and it has been 19 days, and I've had almost 18 pounds lost! On Tuesday, before I started my fast, I was 206.8, and 5 days later, I am 197.2. That is almost 2 pds a DAY. And it's not just water weight; I am seeing a difference in the way my clothes fit!
So yes... I might not meet my 170 goal. But progress is progress, and I am happy my body found a way that it likes to lose weight without myself feeling too deprived. No real counting calories, just following atkins :)
and... I still have 7 MORE WEEKS OF THIS! I'm hoping to meet my original goal, if not surpass it!
ONWARD HO!
