Hi Caz> Yes my rings were scaring me for a while there, I had started to lose weight while I was pregnant with my son, who is now 5 months old. My rings had become so lose that they would just fall off. So better safe than sorry I took them off. Feel a bit icky not wearing them though, especially when walking along our small country town with 3 kids!!
I think i will be staying in this forum, I go to so many forums as it is, this one while it may not attract a whole heap of fellow aussies, still gives us all the rest of the info and support we need.
As far as the atkins foods go, I am eating their bars just like i would have eaten a muesli bar before I went on the this WOL. I find it is something that I just can't do without. I perhaps will look into making my own at some point but with 3 kids under 3, doing a uni degree and also starting a home based business - time is very precious.
Today I am starting back on my version of atkins induction - i am breast feeding so cannot do induction 100%. I have been a little slack in the past week, and having those damn chocolates for the kindy fundraiser in the pantry has been too much of a temptation for me. I have unfortunately given in, but all is not lost, a couple of days and I will be back on track again. Really hoping to hit the 70kg mark at the end of this month so must really concentrate on food and start trying to get some exercise in.
I bought one of those big exercise balls, which seems like a really good work out but it is so hard with a 2yr old and a 3 yr old in my face trying to grab the ball. Last time I did it, I had them beside me with their little balls too, might try that again
Location> we are an hour and a half drive away from brissie. There are a few coles and woolies that I have been to that stock atkins stuff - mindue it is never a big selection but as long as i can get some bars i dont care. I was going to try the empower stuff, but my sister tried the empower wraps and said the were disgusting and stank of chemicals. Was v disapointed to hear that especially considering the price $13 for 7 wraps!! I would still like to try some of the empower cereal though. I do miss having cereal in the morning and am starting to get quite sick of bacon - I dont eat eggs so I am really limited.
Anyway that is enough dribble for me this morning. I hope u have a good day Caz. Any other lurkers?? We would love to chat to you too
