30 Day Carb Addicts ChallengeI'm just starting this thread now so I have some where to go and don't get lost when I'm finished 7 days.
This is a process, a personal journey, it doesn't really matter what day you are on, as long we continue moving forward.
Carb abstinence is key.
AND 30 days seems like a LONG time. I'll just have to break it down and focus on each day!

Susanne
|
You can do it, Heather! 
|
kateryna
|
Yes, Heather, hopefully I can join you there in 6 days  
|
Heather

Dean

Heather... we can leave this 30 Day Challenge out here like a big carrot!
I'm gonna start a 14 Day Challenge... and a 21 Day Challenge. 30 Days is WAY too long for me... I'll lose focus. 
BTW... pumpkin pie with whipped cream... I practically lived on that shit for several weeks on one of my worst sugar binges ever! That was a few years ago!

|
Dean
|
WTG, Heather! Keep up the good eating!
BTW... how's the struggle with dairy going?
|
Heather
|
It's not going well, I have been dipping into the heavy cream. I really need to knock it off.
|
Dean

The time that I got down to my lowest weight and body fat, was when I ate strictly meat and low carb veggies. I did not consume any alcohol or coffee or dairy (not even butter). I kept this up for about 21 days straight. I lost weight effortlessly. My calories were low, and I was hiking in some steep hills during that time. I know the diet had more to do with it, though. How close to goal are you, Heather? Or are you at goal?
|
Heather
|
Goal? What's that??????
According to fitday:
"You are currently 18.9 lb above the target weight" 
So, yeah, I need to focus a bit....  I should update my stats but I'm too embarassed....
|
jeff
|
It must be contageous....I'm up 3 pounds! 
|
Dean
|
Face it, jeff... it's the damn dairy!
You need to start a referendum to repeal that WI constitutional amendment!
|
Heather
|

I don't think so Dean.....I've always done dairy. Why would I all of a sudden start gaining from it?
|
Dean
|
I was J/K about the dairy. Actually, I think it is the snow!

Oh, ok. I thought maybe you were....but I wasn't sure. It must be the snow.

Heather
|
I'm still working through day 24, I am craving cream and sweets this afternoon. I haven't had cravings like this for ages.
|
Heather
|
Made it through day 25.
|
jeff
|
Keep it up!
|
Dean
|
 Go, Jedi!
|
Heather
|
Today is day 26.
Everytime I get too confident is when it seems I fall.
|
Heather
|
Day 27.
|
Dean
|
I guess you didn't fall, huh? 
Keep up the great work!
We've gotta get into that 69 Day Challenge, so we can be ahead of Mr. 69 himself!
|
Heather
|
Yes I do need to get in front of him.

Mr. 69? Hmmmm......perhaps a new nickname has been born?

I'm in the process of day 29.

I believe Dean said "ahead of", not "in front of". But I like the way you think. That's the best idea I've heard in a long time.
|
Dean

Ok, I'll be seeing you in the 69 day challenge.

Dean

DAY 23 completed!
It is pretty amazing that I have gone this long with NO:
coffee / caffeine
wine / alcohol
dairy (except butter)
veggies
nuts
seeds
junk food
just meat and eggs and some fruit and a small amount of condiments
I'm feeling mellow, and I am slowly but surely losing weight. Happens every time I eat like this.
I think the fruit is helping me stay off all the other carbs that I would normally crave, as well as the booze, caffeine, and dairy that I thought I just couldn't do without.
I've eaten like this in the past... kept it up for over four months straight. It helps to just keep being persistent in changing your habits. Cuz, eventually you do!

jeff

Well Said, Dean. I also have that mellow feeling. It's weird though.....lots of energy, but mellow at the same time....a weird combination. I like it.
|
Dean
|
DAY 24.... DONE!
|
Dean
|
DAY 26 finished! Still headin' toward that 69 Day Challenge!
