Not Until December 31
Hi, I have been on Atkins Induction for awhile now and have my walking plan
in order — I get off the bus about 45 minutes from work and walk. If I
walked the entire way, it would be 90 minutes.
We were all writing about the cost of “doing Atkins” — I do not use the
Atkins products, I wanted to change my entire way of thinking/eating, not
just use substitutes for the carbs! I eat a lot of eggs, cheese, poultry.
I buy things on sale, especially meat, poultry and from the deli. I also
eat a large chef salad for lunch every day. I do not count carbs with my
salads, just for the non-salad vegetables.
As to cheating, the only thing is, I like some “crunch” with my salad, so I
toss on a few croutons, usually onion and cheese or garlic and cheese (I am
also careful what breath mints I use at work, for their carbs). This adds
just a few carbs and I know it is worth it for me, since I makes me not want
to cheat on anything else.
One other thing, counting today, there are 52 days left until the end of the
year. I will probably cheat (with turkey dressing — that’s stuffing in
some parts of the country), but not with anything sweet, on Thanksgiving and
Christmas days, so I have these days left to lose the rest of my weight. I
am not going to get on the scale until December 31.
Okay, living alone does help with this, I am sure.
Anyone else game?
