Today's Project: Deviled Eggs

I'm seriously considering going back to the Atkins Diet - so today I made one of my favorite things from that diet: Deviled Eggs. FYI: They are delish. And YES, I'm so gay that I have my very own Tupperware Deviled Egg holder/container (although I've lost the lid).

Regarding the Atkins Diet... About 9 years ago I lost 90 lbs doing Atkins, so I know it works. And let's face it, nothing else has been doing it for me lately. So why not give it a shot?!?

I'll keep you posted ...

Thanks to DustBunny Truth for the reminder about Atkins.

No Weigh-In This Week

I'm not getting anywhere NEAR a scale today - in fact, it's probably best if we just pretend this past week didn't happen at all.

However, I'm hoping to get some good news soon regarding a new apartment.  Keep your fingers crossed...

Monday Weigh-In ... Oh YEEEAAAAAAHHHH

Another great week – I lost 6 more pounds, for a total of 26 lbs. lost in one month!  This means I need to lose only 3 more to reach my first goal of dropping 10% of my body weight.

BTW, in a year-plus on Weight Watchers, I never lost as much weight as I have in the last month.  Big shout-outs to Dr. Atkins and the extremely walkable streets of Manhattan for the assist.

It also helps that I haven’t cheated (thanks to that SUGAR COOKIEStrickery) and I walked almost every day.

It’s great that things are going well NOW, because when I MOVE and lose my routine/comfort zone it certainly won’t be as easy.  The only way I lose weight is by sticking to my routine – and uprooting my life and moving will shoot that all to hell.

As far as the move goes – things are still in limbo.  I've been trying to go through all my stuff and get rid of anything unnecessary - but I still have tons of work to do.  And I still don't have anyplace to go...

Monday Weigh In - 20 Pounds, Biatches!

That's right - I lost 5 lbs. last week, which makes me 20 lbs. lighter than I was on March 25th!!  As a matter of fact, I am wearing a pair of jeans I couldn't even THINK about putting on two weeks ago.

This is a bit of a shock to me, considering I had a liquid dinner drinks with my dear friend Agnes Gooch on Monday, and then spent a hungover Tuesday touring various McDonald's in search of carbs (I found them, TRUST).  But after I got that out of my system, I got back on track and walked my butt off every day.

I don't want to jinx myself, but this is a fantastic way to start off my week.

>P,B!

Monday Weigh In - Good News!

I have surprised even myself - another 4 pounds down last week!  That means I've lost 14 pounds since starting back on my low-carb diet and walking regimen only 1 1/2 weeks ago.  It also means that I'm about half-way toward reaching my first goal of losing 29 lbs (10% of my body weight as of 3/25).

Exercise: Last week I walked all the way home from work 3 days and part-way home the other 2 days.  In total this probably adds up to almost 10 miles for the week.  And to top it off, I did an hour of aerobics at my apartment last night.

Diet:  I only cheated once, and it wasn't major.  One of the servers at my restaurant left a STACK of Girl Scout cookies in the office for days, and finally I couldn't take it anymore.  I totally swiped a box of Lemon Chalet Cremes - but then only ate about 4 of them, felt guilty (not for the theft, for cheating on my diet), and threw them away.

This week will be challenging.  The Minx will be in NYC this weekend, and we plan on meeting on Friday and Sunday for lunch/dinner/whatever.  Sunday's meeting will be at ... ARBY'S (!!), so I'm going to have to be extra good this week to make up for cheating a little over the weekend.

How was YOUR week??
