Topic: RE: Challenge...NOT for everyone!
Patrece,
I have yet to have my surgery but I think I'll take you up on your challenge this week. I am 25 and have been having problems with my knees, so not good! I am challenging myself to drink more water (which i hate) and start exercising (even if its just walking for 30 mins).
Topic: RE: Challenge...NOT for everyone!
Soooo.. How is today going for you all? Mine is going fairly well, but not perfectly. I just had my last permitted cup of coffee for the day, and I wish I had spaced them out more..lol. I drank 22 oz of icewater so far today. Am getting ready to have a glass of orange crystal light, but that actually isn't stated as an allowed item on the atkins induction (phase one), but i will keep it a small glass. It is sugar free so I should be ok.
Planning a walk this evening when it cools down a bit outdoors. I have not consumed any carb laden foods so far today, and don't intend to. It is going to be hard to go through the phase 1 with NO cottage cheese or yogurt. Those are some of my favorite easy protein foods, but contain too many carbs to get me into ketosis. Sooooo I am going to have to go with a slice of cheddar and a veggie that is very low carb as a replacement or something similar to this.
I am going to go to the Atkins site, and look at recipes for Phase 1. Then if I find some I am interested in, I will tweak them to reduce the fat content without adding any extra carbs. Wish me luck..lol
I wish you all the same! I will check back in later on.

Welcome to the challenge! You are doing great with the weight loss! Exercise will help too. Also sometimes when the scale is not moving, inches are still coming off.
It can be hard to not get bored with the food. Time to get more creative! Check out our recipe thread, and also feel free to post for additional meal / food ideas.
Best of luck getting in the 2 miles! If you find it too hard, don't give up, just go for 1 mile and work your way up. It can be hard to get motivated, but just remember the rewards you and your body will reap! Maybe find somewhere really nice to walk (trails, nature, something other than around the neighborhood) and that may be a motivator too. Make it a special and enjoyable time. maybe take an ipod or cd player along for some motivational music to kee you company along the way.
Be sure to check in! best of luck.
