Well I intended to treat myself to Panera this morning, been wanting their brocolli cheese soups and a souflee, but the line was so long I turned around and went to work without any lunch at all. I guess the universe had other plans for me today. Guess it is just as well, cause I would have probably bought something I shouldn't be eating anyhow. I did look at Ruby Tuesday's menu and they had an interesting dish, spaghetti squash and zucchini with marinara sauce, I might have to get that, sounds pretty low carb as well.

Exercised twice yesterday, but boy the afternoon session was a struggle. I had to push myself on that eliptical. Swimming was also hard this morning because my upper body is sore from weight lifting yesterday morning.

More home repairs are on deck for this weekend. Not looking forward to that at all. Mostly cause my waterbed will have to be drained to do what needs to be done, and I won't be able to have my bed back till the repairs are done (hopefully Sunday night, I can't sleep without my waterbed)

It's official. I'm having a mid life crisis.

I'm not going to hit my goal by my birthday. But I'm not too distressed about it. I'm back to exercising twice a day (most days) to offset eating higher carb meals. I haven't stayed very low carb this week, but I also having reverted back to mindless snacking on bad foods either. So I'm somewhere in the middle of the road. My next weigh in will probably be higher than my last, and that will depress me somewhat, but the trade off is being able to eat more variety and not beat myself up too much when I make higher carb choices. If I'm going to do this forever, I need a break from being totally strict once in awhile. I have to reset my brain after a short period of resting from obsessing about every single thing I eat.

Yesterday I had an atkins shake for breakfast, chinese food for lunch (no rice, just chicken & brocolli, but I did eat 2 spring rolls and a fortune cookie) and a salad for dinner, oh and 2 sugar free cookies (bad bad)

Today I've got another shake for breakfast with some fruit and lunch is tuna with a pickle. Not sure what dinner will be, but it will be low carb.

I've not had a great week, and that has led to me NOT focusing on my diet as I should. The roof damage to my house was worse than expected, so I was highly stressed out on sunday, wandering from room to room in my house, wanting to mindlessly snack or do something to keep my mind off things, but I didn't give into that urge. Then Monday I found out my bosses are going to be selling the business, which again created a gigantic amount of stress on me mentally, but I didn't use food to make me feel better. I have been over indulging on sugar free treats (cookies and cupcakes) and that has got to stop. I gave away part of a package of sugar free cookies just to get rid of them to avoid being tempted by them.

I need to re-dedicate myself to Atkins once again much more strickly, but I'm going to give myself a few more days before I do that. Again, I'm not going off the plan totally, but I do have plans to have sushi this weekend but once that is done I will again refocus and be very strict up until my birthday weekend.

I'm also to the point where all my friends/family and coworkers are wondering why I'm still on this plan. Haven't you lost enough weight? You're skinny enough now aren't you? Are you sure you need to lose more? Blah blah blah, as if I don't know whats good for me.

I stayed the course last night. I ate a nice high fat filling dinner later in the evening so I didn't need any snacks later on and I drank Rum instead of malt beverages so unlike last friday I'm showing a loss even after only 4 hours of sleep. I was supposed to go to a pampered Chef party today at my sisters, but since they will only be serving things I can't eat and I can't afford to buy the products I'm gonna avoid that temptation today as well. Supposed to start home repairs this weekend and that will carry on into next weekend as well.

I'm happy to say that I added banana back into my diet last week, very slowly, just ate one over 2 days and each day I showed a loss, so I think I will try that again this week to make sure I can eat them more often without gaining.

My goal is 130 and I'm 8lbs from it. However when I started my first goal was 125 but I wasn't sure that was realistic back then so it got changed. Now I'm thinking another 8lbs will not be quite enough based on how my mid section still jiggles and wobbles. I'm not quite sure where I'm going to wind up but I'm not there yet. But I will be, soon. My hubby already informed me he will be renewing my gym membership again for christmas (this is what I want, i'm a practical person, I like useful gifts) so I will have no reason not to continue exercising for another whole year. I'm enjoying it, so I see no reason to stop even once I'm at my goal. I know I'm stronger due to the weightlifting cause I can now pick up heavier things.

3 weeks till my birthday, the big 40. I wanted to be at my goal by then. I wonder if I can hit 130 in 3 weeks and 3 days?

It's so frustrating to hear other people complain about their health issues and the fact that they know their habits are causing them these issues, yet they continue their bad habits anyway. My boss is the biggest offender here. She is 69 and in poor health. She is very aware that the pepsi and candy and shit she is eating has given her gout, high blood pressure and urinary infections. Her smoking has caused her bronchitis. She keeps winding up in the hospital. She knows she should be eating better and drinking better, and not smoking but it seems she's rather be sick all the time. She knows what needs to be done to feel better, but she just won't do it. She's seem the proof for herself by attempting to eat better and she knows it does make her feel better. She just dived into the candy dish after eating carrot cake for breakfast. She was just in the ER 2 days ago. She's saying she needs the sugar for energy. I'm telling her it won't help and she knows it won't, but she's eating the candy anyhow.
