Sabrina started a couple days ago, so we might as well do it<br \/>\ntogether. It takes around 3 days to purge your body of stored sugar and<br \/>\ncarbs, and after that you should loose fairly quickly. It&#8217;s a tough<br \/>\ndiet to stick with since there is so much that I like and can&#8217;t eat<br \/>\nwith it, but I don&#8217;t plan on doing it as a way of life. I&#8217;ve been doing<br \/>\nslim-fast for a year now, and haven&#8217;t lost anything for the last 3<br \/>\nmonths. I had lost 47 pounds at my best, but am down to 41 pounds now.<br \/>\nI gained some back after going to St Paul, and haven&#8217;t gotten any of it<br \/>\noff since, and actually still gained a little back after that. I was<br \/>\nhoping switching diets would help start things up again, I only want to<br \/>\nloose around 15 more pounds. Even just another 10 would be ok, since<br \/>\nthat was my original goal. I&#8217;d like the extra if I can though. If I do<br \/>\nmanage to loose it, I doubt I&#8217;ll stick with atkins. I have managed to<br \/>\neat fine with a relatively low-cal diet, and prefer that since I can<br \/>\neat more of what I like. We&#8217;ll see how it goes though.<\/p>\n<p>Sabrina and I went biking today. We were gone almost an hour, and<br \/>\nwent just under 10 miles.  It&#8217;s a fairly leisurely pace, but the<br \/>\nlongest ride either of us has done since we started. We were taking our<br \/>\ntime because neither of us has gone much lately. When I was doing my<br \/>\njob for Kelly Services I didn&#8217;t bike at all because I was gone all the<br \/>\ntime and was really tired after I got back. I didn&#8217;t do much exercise<br \/>\nat all while I was doing the job, now I have to get back into it again.<br \/>\nAnd then I&#8217;ll probably stop again when we go to Maine at the end of the<br \/>\nmonth. Hopefully after that we get back we can get back to our diets<br \/>\nand exercise.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t expecting the job to end so soon. We had been told it would<br \/>\nbe 19 days, but we only ended up doing it for 9 days or something like<br \/>\nthat. We put in quite a few hours, but it certainly wasn&#8217;t as much as<br \/>\nwe expected. We were told on saturday to go home at noon, and not to<br \/>\ncome in on sunday, but we&#8217;d be back monday. But then monday they called<br \/>\nand said tuesday, and tuesday they called and said we wouldn&#8217;t be back<br \/>\nat all. I&#8217;m not sure what the problem was, we had heard that they were<br \/>\nhaving alot of production problems and were really far behind, but<br \/>\nyou&#8217;d think they would need people more after that, rather than less.<br \/>\nOh well, we made some quick money and it was pretty stress free. I<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t know if we&#8217;ll be asked to do it again next quarter or not. Since<br \/>\nit ended early we never got to talk about it with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decided to start trying the Atkins diet today.
