I have not discussed my latest diet craze. I wanted it to be for real before I started bragging and giving advice. For the last 8 to 10 weeks I have been on Atkins and I haven’t cheated once.
If you are not familiar with Atkins, it is a low-carb high-protein diet. If you stick to it you can eat enough to satisfy , but boy do you miss the carbs.
.I have lost 37 pounds and I will crack the 400 pound barrier in the next week. It will be the first time I am under 400 pounds since 2003.
My true secret is not leaving the house except when I absolutely have to. I’ve hired my son Troy part-time to do all the things that I would normally have to do. The most exciting thing about the diet is that it actually works, and by staying out of restaurants not only helps me stay on the diet, but the money I save is amazing.
I will now start having weigh ins and reporting on my food diet section.
I am thrilled to show you a dream fulfilled. My fantasy son, that’s what my boys call PJ, with my adopted son, David, have built a beautiful rock bar in the city of Chicago. They were lucky enough to have NBC come out and do a video and I am going to play it for you. Actually, you’ll have to play it for yourself.
I hope everyone who watches this video will come out and enjoy the music and most of all enjoy the great food.
Yesterday I broke down for the first time in months. I went to my friends house to watch the bears, and he had lox and bagels. I had 2 full sandwiches and a piece of gefilte fish. Actually, not too fattening, but on the whole, way too many calories.
I thought I would breeze through this, and I would lose weight as I had in the past, but this is a whole new ball game. Age and metabolism are fighting me all the way.
I did not quit or give in, but we are all human and that in a way is good, BUT NOT WHEN DIETING. We should all be aliens and not be able to give in to human desires. Oh well, in my next life I will be skinny!! LOL
Its a slow and frustrating process. Will the weight ever come off!! I am still doing very well on my diet and my loss is 37 lbs to date this time around. I am running out of time. By the time I lose what I want I will be too old to enjoy it LOL.
It took a lot of years to get here so I must be patient. I want to do it so badly. I want to see my kids get a little older. A little too meloncholy right now so I will see ya later.
I just don’t know what I must have been thinking. What an idiot, jerk, dummy and any other descriptive name that denotes poor brain power. I just ate a can of sardines in water, can you imagine. And the loss is so slow because of my age and sedentary life. I am working out and I have lost 36 lbs, but I have 164 lbs to go!!! SH-T
I hope and pray I get through this, and I won’t quit, but this is pure torture. Need to keep busy so I am going to start up face book. Thanks for listening
Chipotle is a restaurant owned by McDonalds, and yet you can go in there and get a boat of delicious fast food that is on your diet and tastes great and fills you up!!!
No?? Well, yes and this is what it includes: Rice, black beans, pulled pork, and corn salsa. That is about 490 calories and allows you to go out and eat with the crew, and feel like everything is normal. LOL
