Woohooo...... its taken me 6 weeks, but I was finally able to take another 2 pounds off my little weight loss graph <----- today. So I am 25% of the way to the goal I want to reach.
I had stalled on 268 for 3 weeks. I had an attempt and CAD and derailed for a week, it took me a long week after that to lose my cravings again, but for the past 2 weeks have been dedicated Atkins, and trying to break this barrier. I also gained 7 pounds in that "evil" week.. so i had to lose that also.
Well.... finally it happened. The scales are moving again and I am TOTALLY back in the zone. I didn't exactly do induction (had a little wine, nuts and seeds)... but how did I think it happened? I have not had a single frankenfood (love that term) for 2 weeks now, not a bite, lick or suck. Just REAL food... oh, and cabbage. I really believe cabbage helps my weight loss.
Oh, and maybe that nice new man I have been seeing a bit of the last couple of weeks
Could be he is just taking my mind off what I eat, and putting it on what I do.
Another interesting observation... I am type 2 diabetic. Over the past couple of weeks I have had a glass of wine a few nights a week with the aforementioned man. When I have a glass of wine, the next morning my Blood Sugar levels are significantly (2 points) lower than if I don't have wine. Of course this means less insulin floating around my body, which means less fat storage, right? I really think my weight loss will be helped by getting my blood sugar levels at the low end of the acceptable range, rather than high end. This will be my other personal goal.
Well.. that was a long rant... but thanks for listening.. I feel good
25% gone, and finally broke my barrier
Congratulations!!!
You sound like a very enjoyable person, I hope you stay happy! Isn't it fun to be Up instead of down! (mood that is, not weight 
)
