I had an old wish journal but since I "failed" and went off track I figured I would start a new one......
but first, let me introduce myself.
My name is Vanessa, Bad Girl extraordinaire, a 31 year old mother of two princesses (3 and 1) and wife to the only Charming!! My Bad Girl motto for this journal is nothing tastes as good as thin feels I dont know about you, but there is nothing better than slippin in to those skinny jeans and knowing you look good I mean get a whistle from across the street good.
I am a "lifetimer" at WW, but that was prior to having children. Since having my second daughter I am struggling with my weight...I am not gaining, but I am not losing either. Im at a stand still and feeling frumpy, mom-ly and just in general not the Bad Girl bod I want.
I have 22 pounds to lose to get to the weight WW thinks I should be.....personally I would like to be 10 pounds lighter than that...but I am shooting for the first goal of 22 for now.
I am going to try Atkins religiously for the next two weeks, officially starting tomorrow...now I know what you are thinking, yeah right tomorrow .but I only came to the seriousness of my situation after I started off this morning with a bag of pretzels not a big bag the ones out of a snack machine. It was somewhere around 35 grams of carbs so WOW that blows Atkins right out of the water but for lunch I am eating a cheeseburger no bun and some broccoli with water for dinner I have chili in the crock pot, so the royal family can feast on that while I have a salad. My mouth is watering already.
My goal right now is to get through the induction phase, which is 2 weeks. I plan on not even having a lick of alcohol and sticking to water only. I have to stay within 20 grams of carbs per day. After the 2 week period Ill gage where to venture next .I am hoping I will post a loss .a BIG one!
I can do this. I really can.
It all starts with me, only me. I am the only one who can change myself.
And I plan on rewarding myself along the way .I am trying to think if things right now. Maybe Disney $$ for every pound lost, new goods at certain check points Ill have to think on it and maybe even get Charming in on the deal. *note* discuss with Charming this evening J
Today on my lunch hour I went to the Y and did 30 minutes on the bike and 100 crunches. I did that yesterday as well. In addition to the Atkins, for the next two weeks I am going to go to the Y every day for lunch, then Ill taper off to three days a week. I can do it. (self encouragement) its only 2 weeks. 2 weeks is nothing. Nothing people. Ill probably be in here a lot the next two weeks trying to keep motivated and on track. So ye have been warned!
We are heading to the World in May and I want to look better than a cow in stilettos. I want to look good, damn good. Hence the jumpstart on Atkins. I realize I wont lose 22 pounds in the next 50 days, but who knows gotta start somewhere.
7 weeks from today, thats what I have. I can do it. I can be lighter. I can be a loser. I can and I will be lighter by the time we leave in May.
Tonight may be a struggle the first night. My princess starts swim lessons so at least we will be out of the house until 6:30 or so. Shes a lucky gal tall and thin and some days I would bet she has a tapeworm.
And good ole American Idol is on. I will do crunches while watching and squats through the commercials. Thats the ticket. I will get my skinny, non-mom jeans out of the closet where they are collecting dust and hang them on the fridge. I will get in to them, eventually. I will get back to a Bad Girl bod just you wait and see.
Bad Girl affirmation for today: Good Golly, Im a Hot Tamale! (taken from the officially Bad Girl calendar)
Ill depart with, nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

) to WISH journals.
Go on with your 
What is your plan after this 2 weeks? Most people who do Atkins gain the weight back after they go off. I'm just wondering what the transition to "regular" eating is like?
