With only 30 days to go till I have to get my wedding dress altered and just a wee bit over 2 months till the big day, I need to drop a few pounds and tone up here and there. So, after much debating with myself, I've decided to go on Atkins again. I've been down this road before, about 8 years ago, and I was able to lose a good deal of weight before giving up on the low-carb craze. Now, I am ready to hit this baby again and see where it takes me.
First of all, I am not doing the 20 carbs only craze cuz I can't handle that small of an amount. I have decided to stay in the 25-60 range and hope I can see results with that. Also, I have been and will continue to exercise on a regular basis and am trying to reduce alcohol and caffeine as well. Those are all for the long term. Although after the wedding, I may increase my carb intake a bit, too. We shall see.
I've been on the plan for the last week or so and it hasn't been too bad. A couple days I went over my carb intake but then I add a little extra exercise to make up some of the difference. The push is for the short-term wedding goals and then I will advance to a more long-term plan after the wedding....or Thanksgiving...or the New Year.
A girl's gotta start somewhere after all! What's your favorite weight loss trick?
