So today was the day I felt ready to start my new way of life and get back into skinny jeans as opposed to comfy leggings and tunics.
I have read the sticky posts, had a good browse on the Atkins website, have read a few posts too and feel like I really must do it this time, hopefully with help from great people on here.
I'm 43, mother of 2. In my 20 s I was around 62 kg, (im 175 cm tall). In my 30 s before I had children I was a comfortable 72 kg, Now the scales are on 109. I have managed to ignore it for so long, mainly because I was staying at home looking after the girls and it's easy to not think about it or look in the mirror. No more!
So, today was interesting. I was very tired, went to bed late last night, didn't sleep well as my little one woke me up a few times. Usually I would eat croissants , scones, anything to keep me awake. Somehow I managed to stick to legal food, was ravenous about 2 pm, but had snacks and here I am, day 1 done.
B salami and mozzarella
L tuna in oil spinach salad
D pork medallion with courgette and mushroom
S roast chicken roll with cream cheese, salami, 3 Brazil nuts, small slice of savoury mim
W 2 ltr
E no
A no
Will be more organised tomorrow, very excited about all the recipes, and that I stayed under the 20 g carbs and off the wine.
Looking forward to reading more stories on here and chatting to people
