xconfusedx's atkins diary

[xconfusedx]

I'm thinking of sticking with tesco or primark for bits and pieces. I don't want to spend lots on things I won't be wearing in a few months

I have been selling things on a well known auction site and making some money for new clothes as well as room for them

 

[xconfusedx]

I decided to measure myself this morning as I've been on Atkins for 20 days now.

I've lost 15 inches in total

I'm so pleased that 4 inches has come off my waist and 3.5 inches has come off my stomach

Feeling positive and dragging my OH to look round a gym. They have a special offer on - £100 for a years membership.

Hoping if I tone up a bit, I might lose some more inches. Even off my stubborn hips

15inches is fantastic!!! Well done!!:wow:

 

[ladyfelsham]

Well done Confused, that's a fab reduction!

 

[xconfusedx]

Thank you

I was surprised and very pleased! Managed to get into some jeans I picked up in the next sale last year and they fit comfortably

 

[Kat1e]

Well done . Those inches will keep dropping off - lots of excuses to go shopping
Xxx

 

[k8te]

[xconfusedx]

Thank you both x

Day 1 at the gym today.

Off for a fitness and health assessment... Wish me luck!

 

[lucy4loop]

Good luck!

Morning, so how did it go?

 

[flymypretty]

Brilliant news re losing those inches! I think I'm probably going to pay more heed to that than actual weight to be honest. Yes, let us know how the gym went xx

 

[Quak]

Well done, that is a huge amount of inches in such a short space of time!!!! Hope you got on well at the gym

Afternoon all

The gym went better than expected. I really enjoyed it and my swim afterwards.

I am a little sore today but I expected to be.

I get my test results and program tomorrow. I was able to lift more weights and spend longer on the machines than I expected

 

[lucy4loop]

That's great Confused! You'll be less sore next time, and before you know it you'll be looking forward to it

 

[xconfusedx]

I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it. I used to go 3 times a week a few years ago but I got lazy!

I think swimming eased my muscles and its only the ones across my chest and under my arms that are a bit uncomfortable... nothing unbearable though

Ouch, those muscles that don't often get used! You'll feel better tomorrow x
I used to swim alot too, until I couldn't bear to be seen in a cozzie any more . I think I may start again on my days off.

Morning, that's good news then

 

[xconfusedx]

Lucy, I never swim in cozzie! Its always swim shorts and a tankini top.

Not the most glam but at least I'm comfy and covered up

Jim, its very good news I'm hoping to try and go 3 times a week and do some swimming too.

I hope you do love, Morning!
