At work, I have had some MAJOR accomplishments-- I have turned down baklava, lunch invitations to Italian restaurants, an uneaten plate of fettuccine alfredo FROM that Italian restaurant invitation that I declined, AND pizza...
If I missed breakfast at home, I'd swing by the cafeteria at work at have a bacon, sausage, and cheese omelet made for me... then I'd have some salsa on the side. I have a very sedentary office job and we all nibble ALL day at our desks, so on the days that I didn't have homemade nibbles, I snacked on slim jims, atkins advantage bars, and *very few* barbecue pork rinds... I have peanuts, but I haven't delved into those yet...
Anna, my 9 year old daughter, has made this whole work/ Atkins thing way easier than it otherwise could be. More often than not, she makes me bacon and sausage to bring with me to work... and yesterday, in addition to those yummies, I had pork chops, too! My appetite is finally back under control... I didn't eat all that Anna made for me yesterday... imagine that!
This week begins another session of school, but I don't anticipate much change (except shedding more and-- totally off-topic-- my replacement laptop is now looming closer on the horizon than ever now!).I'll just be in a non-stop nibble frenzy at work AND home now!
So, I did what most sane people wouldn't do on any other diet just 6 days in-- I re-measured myself... and I don't think I'm going to measure myself again for another month... we shall see... but the inches are disappearing... and VERY quickly!!!!
I'm posting them in this format:
Area of body, first measurement (10/16), today's measurement (10/22).
Bust: 58, 54 1/2
Chest: 49, 46
Waist: 52, 49
Hips: 61, 59
Thighs: 32, 30
Knees: 22, 21 1/2
Calves: 16, 16
Upper arm: 18, 17 1/2
Forearms: 13, 12 1/4
Moving right along!!
