Low Carb Eating for LIFE
Atkin’s Ongoing Weight Loss, and Working out with my Sweetheart
OWL is Atkin’s lingo for ongoing weight loss. I have been maintaining my 25-30 grams of carbs per day, mostly out of habituation. It has become pretty easy to just naturally stay in that zone. I decided to add more regular workouts since joining the Y. I’ve done lots of bike, elliptical, a cardio-pump class, [...]
Today’s Most Amazing Workout and the Day’s Sample Diet
Today I decided to take advantage of my new Y membership. There was a class called Cardio Pump, which I had not heard of, and didn’t really know what was, but I was going to go, because the Zumba class is only in the mornings. I couldn’t go to the morning class because I ended [...]
Low-carb and Cruising right Along- and some Product Reviews
Well, I haven’t been blogging much about low-carb, because I have settled in to my 132-3 and don’t seem to be too worried about really losing a lot more weight, just maintaining the loss I have. My body seems to have adjusted to about 25-30 grams per day. I sometimes have less, but not intentionally [...]

Ain’t We Got Fun? 131!
Yes, it has been a week over two full months, but it seems like a year ago that I began Atkin’s Phase I- induction. I have to say, I wasn’t impressed with immediate weight loss. However, it started to come off at about week 4. I am still losing it in the OWL phase, even [...]

So, What’s for Breakfast? Low-carb, Delicious, Different!
I’m off of work today, and my sweetie is not. He works 12 hour days, and so I am here alone. I like the house when it’s quiet, but it also gets lonely. The best part, if there is a best part, is that I get to have the kitchen to myself, and can get [...]
Atkin’s at Nearly 2 months In. HAPPY Monday!
I am really glad I have switched over to OWL, the second phase of Atkin’s, because now I can enjoy blueberries, in moderation, low-carb tortillas, and even the occasional plain Greek yogurt. By the way, adding a bit of DaVinci’s sugar-free ( 0 carb) syrup to the yogurt makes it SO yummy! I am still [...]
