New Beginning - Day 2

At the end of my first 30 days of the body bugg I was super frustrated. I had a calorie deficit of about 860 calories, which meant I should have lost weight. But, I didn't. I did loose an inch off my waist and thighs but.. well.. hard to make that seem like enough.

So I am trying out something different. I am trying the 70/30 percent rule. Meaning that weight loss is truly 70% about what you eat and 30% about exercising. I have exercising down so I can do that 30%. My eating has been in deficit levels but it is just not taking. I have to judge what I eat as well. So I am going to put 70% of my strength into watching what I eat.

I will start by going back to the Atkins. I know, its not the hip way to loose a few pounds but it has worked for me in the past before and I need something that works right now. Its frustrating to be doing more exercise than any other girl I know and yet still be one of the largest girls I know. So lets put the focus on food. I will continue to work out as it is a habit for me now but I will give up Carbs for two weeks and then slowly introduce them back into my diet. Within the next two weeks I will also not have beer which is so hard for me because it is part of my social group to have beer, but I got to make a tough change for big changes!
