Welcome friends, new and old. Pull up a chair, grab a drink, get comfy, it is a long trip....
I need a place to keep track of assorted diet, exercise and life stuff. So here I am!

Heather, glad you started a new journal. 11 days is a great start. Don't let the minor setbacks get you down too much. We only fail when we stop trying.

Hi Heather
I know what you mean. You have to keep track or things kinda sneak in that you don't want.
May you have a smooth downward scale journey.

Thanks for all the visitors and encouragement.
I'm feeling awfully nervous/anxious today for no particular reason, that is obvious to me anyways. I really want to eat sugar. I finished reading a Geneen Roth book. It had a lot of truth, too much.... Oy
Jeff you are deep. _________________

HEATHER!!!! Sorry I've been away for almost 3 weeks. Well not actually away but the past 3 weeks are typically my busiest time at work with Fall Term starting September 5th.
Sure I'll pull up a chair and make myself comfortable. We can exchange/ dwell on/ share / drag out bitches/bitching, left, right and centre. Even when I'm up and cheerful, I can certainly relate to bitching
Anyway, great to see you now have a journal  _________________ Carnivore (Jun 12/09) 227/196.2/137 Max. wt: 247 (Jul-08)

I have no idea what to post...
I am trying to figure out what feelings that I have that are causing my overeating. It's not easy but I'm learning alot about myself. I'm trying to eat only when I'm hungry, that is not going to well but I'm working on it. I'm really focusing on myself and trying to listen to my body. Something it seems I rarely do. Hopefully by recognizing these behaviors and thoughts I can make some real changes. _________________

Well, well, well, Wisconsin's self-appointed poster boy has spoken. Unless you can make those cows look sexier, you need to find something pretty snazzy to get us to visit Wisconsin, like maybe more skin
Heather, it's a phase, you'll put through like you always have. At least you're thinking.  _________________ Carnivore (Jun 12/09) 227/196.2/137 Max. wt: 247 (Jul-08)

I'm not really feeling well but not really sick, just out of sorts.
There is just so much going on right now, I feel overwhelmed but I do see the light, it's just taking some time to sort through.
All my kids have started school.
I still haven't had much free time.  _________________

I'm here now Jeff, where are you?
This has really been a big transition, I'm still getting used to my new schedule. And pms through the last week, that was rough... I feel like I've been through a war. I really need to get myself back on track, really, really bad....
I'm still working on eating only when I am hungry, this is so very hard! I suppose pms didn't help, sugar cravings, peer pressure, etc.
So far today I ate two apples, butter, eggs, two chicken burgers, lettuce, tomato, mayo, salad dressing, etc....
This week I'm going to set goals of:
- exercising four times
- eating only when hungry, this is still a struggle...
- focus eating on M&E _________________

Or upset, or bored, or tired, or whatever... the list can go on forever in my case. I am really trying to learn what "real" hunger feels like. And it is very different than it has seemed. _________________

Since I've been fasting it's been difficult cause when you're bored or need a break from work you automatically think of food. Don't know why that is. So when that's been happening I just start to do something else or think about what I should be doing. So far it's been working for me. Who knows what tomorrow will bring but let's not worry about it today.

I missed posting in my journal yesterday because I had to leave early.
Let's just say Sunday was a write-off....
Yesterday I was very, very good! I ate scrambled eggs with a lot of butter, 1 chicken breast and chicken wings!
Today was much harder and it's still 2 in the afternoon....
I had scrambled eggs again and the left over chicken wings, then came the cravings. I ended up making a recipe of almond butter cookies that only have nut butter, egg and splenda.... Not great but considering how bad the cravings were, it's ok.

As far as I remember I have been on plan since the "cookies." Now I remember eating apple sauce Wednesday, hmmm fitday says it was only 14 carbs, not terrible. I have been eating veggies but the sugar and wheat is gone. I have been eating alot of butter mixed in with scrambled eggs. _________________

I'm still doing ok with diet. Today was all soup which I believe is much higher in carbs than a regular day. But I'm not counting this as bad carbs!
Today I am sick.... Sinuses, headache, dry throat, coughing, losing voice. I can still whisper and squeak, I hope I don't lose it completely....
I remembered that I went for a run last week sometime at 6:30 AM half asleep, but I don't remember the day and I ran yesterday as well. Two times exercise is better than none!  _________________

I had a horrible day today, total stress, chaos, I want to eat until I explode... I haven't eaten anything today, I'm not hunger. I'm afraid to take the first bite. I feel like my whole life is being ripped away from me. I'm sure it's not quite that bad but I can't help but feel this way. I have worked so hard to get here. _________________

Well I didn't do it, eat until I exploded... I managed to survive. I was so f'n sick all week, entire week.... Thank God I'm over that, I finally feel human again.
I have been doing well on a lower carb plan. I have been eating lettuce and meat for days and I seem to be losing with that. _________________

I now have some sort of a cold. I think I had 5 days that I felt good now I'm sick again....
I have a new treadmill ordered, it will be delivered this Saturday!
I'm still eating on plan but I haven't lost any weight for a while. I hope I'm just saving it for a large loss later...  _________________
