Weight loss status

December was a month of gastro-intestinal excess. Cakes, cookies, pastries, donuts, treats of every kind somehow made their way into my tummy and the scale smugly stated that I was 5 lbs heavier than I was at the beginning of the month.

Oh well, 'tis the season to be jolly, after all.

But come January 4th (hey, I had to enjoy the New Year weekend too) and I went on Atkin's induction. I was very, very good for 2 weeks. No sugar, no carbs except in veggies, no nuts, no fruits. Just protein and veggies. It worked for me - I wasn't hungry, I felt good, and when I checked today, I had lost all of December's weight and a few lbs more.

Unfortunately, this meant a trip to Carneys for a tuna-melt sandwich, half a hot dog, fries and a strawberry ice-cream shake. Ugh. And then tea and cookies in the afternoon. Double ugh. But that was my reward for being good, and I'm going back to eating healthy starting tomorrow.

Really, I mean it! I've lost about 20 lbs since last year, and I'm not putting it back! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
