Day 247 - Sept. 6, 2008

Well here we are on day 7 of my Atkins Diet... Let me tell you it's great.... I've been sticking to it 100%.. I cant' wait to weigh myself tomorrow, as I want to see what I've lost this week..

Let me share some moments this week that really tested my willpower and how I overcame them.

1) Last Wed. had a long ride into Pennsylvania and stopped at a Starbucks.. ordered my Americano and looked over at the pasty case and all of those pastries were calling out my name. The scones, the muffins, the bars.. you name it and it was calling out " Liz come and get it !!!" Well I stuck to my guns paid for my coffee and then got back into the car and grabbed my Atkins bar from my bag and enjoyed it with my cup of Coffee.... Accomplishment #1

2) Didn't have a chance to grab lunch the other day, so I stopped at McDonald's well could have ordered a #3 or even a #1 ( for those of you who are not McDonald's fanatics that would be a Quarter Pounder with cheese meal or a Big Mac Meal... instead I order a Salad with only lettuce, cheese and some bacon... No chicken which if I did order it, I probably would have ordered with crispy instead of grilled... Well I enjoyed my salad with a bottle of water and got.... Accomplishment #2..

3) Thursday night had a dinner engagement and didn't' know what to order. ( I am salad out) so I ordered a chop steak with steamed broccoli... YUM YUM.... again, no bread, no butter, no dessert.. just a glass of water with dinner.... ..TADA... Accomplishment #3


This weeks challenge will be a meeting I will be attending on Wed.... But I know I have so much support in my friends, that they will be right there to make sure I make the right choices... Right Rosie and Cindy... (Kim we'll see... )

Well tomorrow starts week 2 of my induction phase and I am really excited to weigh myself and see my Accomplishment #4 for this week...

Until Tomorrow...
