Day #66 (yes I counted)

Alright. So October wasn't the great month I thought it would be. I actually did really well through Thanksgiving. I lost weight that weekend. Around October 25th Jordan and I both ended up with the flu. There is nothing that makes you feel better when you're sick than carbs. Really, when you're not feeling well and you barely want to eat as it is, the thought of meat, cheese and veggies just really turns you off.

Enter Croissants and Orange Juice! Yummm. So that just leads to days of eating WHATEVER you want. Honestly, it was really bad. I can't even list off everything I ate that week...but it was GOOD. So I think that the week off set me back about 5 pounds.

I got back on the horse and really strict with myself on November 4th. And I've lost that weight and then some.

Start Weight: 200.00
Current Weight: 179.00
Total Weight Loss: 21 pounds

Maybe I'm just trying to justify my slip ups, but 21 pounds in under 3 months? I've NEVER done that before. So really, if I take some time off because I'm just in a funk or I'm really bored with food I don't see it as a problem. One thing that the week off reminded me was that I really do FEEL better on Atkins. I don't plan on having any more breaks until Christmas. I can avoid all the yummy Starbucks Christmas drinks for most of the season, but I'm having my salted caramel hot chocolate and my Peppermint Mocha at some point this year. :)

I've also started at a gym. More on that later.
