Well my modified version of the 28 day diet seems to have helped me break through into the 330s.  i'm 335 this morning.  My modification is basically atkins induction and I allow some sweets every now and again.

I am trying to stick to working out 3 days a week, but it hasn't been happened.  I usually fall off one day a week.  The upside is my workouts are harder so am going more when I do work out.

My 28 days ends Aug 6th, so my very hesitant goal is to get into the 320s by then...take a break for a week and the back for another 28 days.  My summer goal was 330.  I'm going to change that to 320 by the monday after memorial day.

Something else while I am low carbing it.  I am using Ie for the stuff I technically cant eat on the phase and it has been working.  I'm not down as much as everyone else (they're average is about 10 lbs in a week, i'm at 5), but I'm happier and it seems like something I can maintain.

I also went back to the IE group on 3fatchicks, between my friends, my weightloss group on FB and the IE group on 3 fatchicks I have a great support net.

Life is good right now.

p.s. some nsv

knees don't hurt almost at all
more energy
heels are easier to walk in
and I have ankles again. My ankles were pretty much constantly swollen and only have sleeping at night did they go down...only to go right back up again during the course of the day


In a good place.

Quick Recap

Well I am ashamed it has been this long since I posted. I got down to 306 after much not eating and too much exercising, but after the trip to Jamaica I haven't gotten back in the groove of things. I think alot of that has to do with issues with the Ex. Those may not be settled, but i am not as emotionally invested as I won't was. With IE I was able to stay at 320 or under. I am 312 now, and focused once again. I am not nearly as strict as I was, which might also explain why I haven't gotten under 300. Anyway....Thats where I am at now. Will try and write more later.

Finding Joy in the Little Changes

So it's taken me 2 months to lose 4 lbs.  I know people are are gonna ready that and be like dude you suck. There are a couple of things to note: When  I started 2 months ago I was 359 and then the week after I went up to 363. I checked my spreadsheet and I haven't been 355 or lower in 4 years.  I've been struggling in the 360s for YEARS !!!!!! I've been in the 350s for a couple of weeks with a mostly steady decline I'm not struggling with eating, and working out is doable. In terms of non scale victories.  I can eat salad. It isn't the end of the world and honestly when I'm out and about it takes the weight of having to figure out what to eat. I don't feel the need to eat EVERYTHING on my plate. I don't eat what I don't want.  ( We will ignore the cream puff I had yesterday) I have more energy.  I don't come home and veg doing nothing until bed time.  I mean I do it sometimes, but if I need to do something I am more lik...

Avoiding Vacation Sticker Shock and Rebounding

Back from Miami. I have come to realize women are awesome and can form great bonds, but they can also be full of drama for no reason.  I had a great time and definitely want to go back. The "rules" for my trip away were no pasta, rice or potoatoes.  I think I had rice or potatoes with most of my meals.  I didn't go overboard, no binging or huge portions.  Then there was the drinking.  I haven't really drank in a while...so I didn't go overboard, but I drank my fair share. Drinks at Wet Willies in Miami My ankles were not the biggest I've seen, but definitely swollen.  I decided when I got back no scale.  I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. When I got back it was a struggle to get up and workout.  It almost felt like the first couple of weeks. Also doing things that had gotten easier felt like a big of a struggle. Tuesday I got on the scale and I was 359.0.  I am stupidly happy I was in the 350s.  I'm als...
