Yeppers, abstaining and NOT cheating seems to be what has worked for ALL of us successful HC A '72 Warriors!

With the cooler weather coming and if we keep getting the rain I will be mowing into Nov/Dec and maybe January....yea no joke on that. it is crazy lol One good thing is the pasture holds great grass, I don't have to buy alot of hay at all for the goats cause they still have tons to eat so that is always a plus.

Oh man, you poor thing with all the mowing! That's great that you're saving some $$ since you don't have to buy hay! How many goats do you have?

got super tempted on the 'ice cream' trip. Hubby and kiddo and I went out and did some fast shopping cause everyone needed something, kiddo wanted school things we got, hubby needed CVS for some med stuff he wanted and I always go to keep them in line for not spending too much LOL THEN hubby says how about ice cream? Since the damn ice cream place was next to that store!! Of course kiddo said yea! I SHOULD HAVE just gone to the car but we left the other store and walked into the next ice cream store....but I was one flash from 'just going to the car' and waiting for them. Got in there and WANTED IT ALL. omg! ya know. Of course I fought thru it, said no, by the time we got home and they were done slurping up their ice cream in the car I was fine. Walked into the house ok at that point
I tell ya though I had to fight with myself on that one. Just a battle but I am NOW used to these stupid battles and get thru them alot easier. So all came out ok and my brain is back to warrior normal now
|
WTG with fighting "Fat Karen" about the ice cream! Woot! Woot!
It really is a MIND GAME and it would have been a nano-second of pleasure at MOST!
You stayed WARRIOR STRONG and that's the most important thing!!!

I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly. I only see a "post reply" option, no "new thread" option.

If you wanted to post on our thread, then "post reply" is the option. New thread option creates another "topic"...

I have been on 72 induction since 06/26/2017 and plan on staying there for the foreseeable future. I must admit that while I have not cheated once, I do allow myself to have cream cheese from time to time. Being the "hard core" club I figured I ought to confess that now, since it is forbidden on induction. I have never really understood that given its high fat and low carb levels but I digress. I eat it a couple times a week. Otherwise, no off plan foods for me since day one.
|
WOW! HUGE CONGRATS on staying 100% OP every.single.day since you started! That's quite an accomplishment for sure and NOT easy to do at all!
As for the cream cheese thing, I've never really questioned WHY Dr. A said no to cream cheese in Induction A '72.... we just
follow exactly what he says we can and can not eat on the Acceptable Foods List for A '72. And I know that's why we have been über successful.
It probably metabolizes like a carb b/c IMHO all carbs are NOT created equally. I know for me, any type of cheese is a binge waiting to happen!
So I don't eat cheese of any kind at all...
I'd say ditch the cream cheese since it's not Induction... but that's just me!

I wish I was losing a little faster but in reality, I'm probably losing at a decent, healthy pace. The biggest issue I'm having right now is that until last week, I had so much energy I couldn't sit still. And now, I'm started to feel exhausted for no reason again, like I did before this woe. I realize part of it is depression. My anxiety is worse this week too than it has been since I started atkins. I noticed a marked (while not total) reduction in the symptoms of both of these. But this past week, maybe week and a half, not so much. And where is my energy??
|
I've never experienced having "little or no" energy doing A '72. So I am of no help.

I hope she gets better real soon! Poor lil' thing!

It really changes up my day ...I am at their house today, at least I am getting plenty of exercise going up and down stairs. Yesterday was a real long day, no time for myself.
|
Oh yeah, I forgot that when you babysit the grands you are at their house and not your own. I guess it really does upset your routine!
Hope you find time to just chil-lax and take care of YOU!

School starting has changed up a lot for this group. Grandson was anxious about starting 1st grade, but this is his second week and he's doing good.

1st grade, WOW! They grow up so fast!
