I'm not losing weight, I'm gaining a neck

So yesterday, my 3 month Atkinsversiary, I hit a big goal in my weight loss. To celebrate, I thought I would post some comparison pictures. Now, I know that I have a LOOOONNGGG way to go, but this makes me feel good, so those who have a problem with me can shove it!

Full body, before and now:


Face, before and now

What is my problem?

How come every weekend I decide to do nothing? I have so much stuff I need to get done, yet the eternal procrastinator in me is always present. For example, my accounting. I need to finish 2 accounting classes through correspondence by August and I haven't even looked at the books in probably 8 months. Secondly, my yard looks like crap. But do I spend the weekend out there trying to make it look better? NO. Now granted I did buy a new lawnmower and mowed the back yard, but that only took 30 minutes. The front is what looks like crap. Thankfully David knows of my aversion to yard work and volunteered to cut the grass today after he gets off work. Why the hell am I so lazy??? What is my problem??? If anyone has suggestions on how to make my behavior change, let me know because I am all ears.

So my 24th birthday came and went this week with very little celebration. I'm not complaining- I just hate that this happens every year. David, of course, did great on my birthday- sending me flowers at work and taking me out for seafood and giving me Crest Whitestrips (I asked for them) and the Bridget Jones 2 DVD. He also bought me an entire TGI Friday's Atkins Cheesecake. I wish I had people to celebrate with other than him. :( I'm going to end up eating this entire cheesecake myself.

In all the dullness and bad eating (not off plan, but stuff on plan that I don't like to eat- such as Cheesecake) of this past week, I managed to lose a little over 1 pound. How that happened, I have no idea, but I am thankful.

Water, coffee, and shakes, oh my!

Well, luckily this week I am down another 3 lbs. This makes my grand total so far 41 lbs!!!! I really can't believe how easy this has been. I am kicking myself for not starting this WOE earlier. I say that I am "luckily" down this week because it seems I've not been on track this week with my water, coffee, and Atkins shakes. I haven't had near enough water, had too much coffee every day, and relied on Atkins shakes instead of breakfast all week. I would say I'll try to do better next week, but it's my birthday on Tuesday so I'll probably be having a higher-carb meal than I normally do. At least I've already planned to substitute birthday cake with LC cheesecake from TGI Friday's.
Today I'm going on a wild goose chase for wide width shoes. I hope that when I lose all this weight, my feet won't be wide anymore, but even at my lowest in my teens (215) I still had pretty wide feet. I have an interview with the UK MBA program on Tuesday and need no-heeled comfortable dress shoes to hike across campus in.
