hi everyone! this is a great forum to get and stay motivated, isn't it? i just found this website this morning, but am already so enthusiastic about it.
i'm a newie at the atkins diet; since i had a relapse last night, i'd say i'm pretty much starting at day-one again today. but i'm NOT going to let myself be depressed anymore about yesterday, because i know i can do it!
i've always been an avid exerciser, but in the last couple of months, have cut back (unintentionally), as i've just started a pretty rigorous vet school program. but i'm really wanting to get back in the habit full-force!
thanks for letting me join you all here!

Since I fell off the wagon last night and ate carbs, I woke up this morning and felt really horrible. I also hadn't worked out since Wed., so I hit it hard today. A 1 hr. run up the extinct volcano that I live next to (so very hilly/steep); 40 min. indoor cycling; 20 min. elliptical trainer; 30 min. lower body weights; 3 10-min. intervals of abdominal exercises.
Obviously, I don't usually work out this hard, but I wanted to make up for the last days, and I also thought that maybe it would help me get rid of the carbs I ate last night faster. Does anyone know if that is true?

I did my measurements yesterday, since I know they can sometimes be more indicative than pounds off.
right bicep: 10.5 in.
chest: 35 in.
stomach: 29.25 in.
hips: 34.75 in.
R thigh: 20 in.
R calf: 12.75 in.
Today I cycled/hiked for an hour (to the top of Arthur's Seat, the volcano, so the last bit is straight uphill- not possible to cycle. But intense. I lifted weights at the gym- chest, shoulders, triceps.
Am feeling good!
