Week 5!

September 29 - October 5, 2014

The first week..

I would have to say the first week on the Atkins Diet was great.. and I think one of the main reasons was because I had the proper food in my kitchen.. I didn't eat no BREADS, PASTA, RICE or FRUIT the whole time.

Now energy wise.. I don't think I gained a boost of energy, but it was the first week.

As for headaches.. HELL YES! I got a real light one on Sunday.. but then Tuesday and Wednesday came and OMG.. I suffer from migraines and this wasn't nothing like it.. but it was a really bad headache for those two days. I took all kinds of headache meds/relievers and NOTHING helped. Even today I feel a slight one but not as bad as yesterday and the day before. I'm glad I got my orders baked and shipped before the headache came or else I would of been doomed.

The pounds!!! I went down 8lbs in a week which is awesome!!! Just from eating what the plan said.. no exercising involved. I am thrilled and cant wait to see what next Wed brings.. The book said loose up to 15lbs in the first two weeks.. I believe I am on that track and even better!!

Grr..

Like I said, I am bad and sorry.. I cant keep up for nothing!!

Since the last time, which has been a week or more; I have been eating GREAT!!! Soups, salads, chicken etc. Now the exercise part -_- I wish I can say great also. I guess by changing my eating, my body is like WHOA wtf and so it pays me back with headaches.. Which are the worst and I suffer from migraines

mi·graine

noun \ˈmī-ˌgrān, British often ˈmē-\ is a debilitating condition characterized by moderate to severe headaches, and nausea. It is about three times more common in women than in men.

So I was done!! This week coming I am committing myself to workouts.. and hopefully I can finally incorporate the "2" (exercise and eating right) I made another chart for the week also.

Sin City Return

Soooo.. As you can see, I haven't been on here for a min!! I had went away to Vegas for about a week and all before that I was preparing myself and working on my business hard body. While in Vegas I ATE!! lol well not bad because all the walking I did balanced it out greatly!! When I say ate, I mean I was off my routine. I wasn't going crazy but I did eat. And by that I thought I would GAIN!!! but I didn't I lost 1lbs lol!! That is great for someone who was surrounded by buffets and in sin city.. shoot I did enough sinning lmao. Anyway, so I had measured myself before I left and again when I returned and it was 1lbs lighter :D Now being back home and no vacation again until Oct, I can FOCUS on my journey better. I did tell ya this is not "a piece of cake, right?"

Today is April 12, 2011 and I missed my Monday entry.. but HEY! better late than NEVER.

So last week was my challenge. This is how it went down:

I did EXCELLENT the first 5 days.. Friday night I had to bake cupcakes and that's when it went downhill. I have my own company.. a cupcake bar called Top-It and I was asked to do a charity event on Saturday.. so I baked all the cupcakes the night before, and let me tell you.. THAT was not 'a piece of cake!!' When you make something for others, you have to taste your own creation. Whether you like it or not. You cant just hand it to them or let someone else tell you. If I did that, it would DRIVE ME CRAZY!!! (Britney's voice) But yea after that I stopped exercising but my eating was still RIGHT!!! just added cupcakes to the list :( . So when I weighed myself on Monday I KNEW I was not gonna like it and damn right I didn't! I felt like the first part of the week was wasted, nothing to show.. but thought to myself.. Its a LEARNING experience. So this week I am slowly coming back off my sugar rush/ high, cause it was a heaven filled with SNACKS! I threw out the left over cupcakes tonight, even though my mother was still munching on them. Anyway all I could say is we all are human and we make mistakes...

Recap and a Planner

I will tell you guys now, me posting everyday, there's a slim chance to none lol. Just to warn you in advance. Especially if your looking for a DAILY blog!! I will try my best, if not I will recap :)

So anyway the last 3days I have been eating way better!! I feel good. Monday will be the start of something new, which is starting a GUIDE. First off I know you think why Monday, do it now! The reason I chose that day is because I will go food shopping on Sunday and pre season, package and make my meals for the coming week. Also I will set a workout routine. I figured this will help a lot especially when it comes to eating. I know that its planned out already, so when it comes time, it'll be "a piece of cake, right?" and I wont be looking for a quick fix. (sound like a food addict) I will make a chart and post on here so you too can have a plan.

Summary of food eaten in the last 3 days:

• More Fruits
• Baked bbq chicken (made by me)
• Grilled chicken wrap (mbm)
• Bacon egg & cheese (mbm)
• Oatmeal
• lots of water
• Crystal Light
• Steak (mbm)
• Yogurts (galore!)

I haven't ate at a fast food or restaurant since about the early middle or early part of Jan. I have not craved any of that yet. Impressed! I not a fast food junkie anyway. Especially since I know how to COOK!!! (check out my food blog, If your on your journey, DON'T LOOK!! It might be tempting to make something :D )
