Saturday and Sunday:
Walked up to the park for 2 miles then ran back down 2 miles, stretched for 25 minutes.
I must confess, 2008 has been up and down as far as low carb eating.
Started out great for the first 3 months and only lost 5 lbs. I could not get motivated to exercise.
Started and stopped low carb serveral more times and exercise was also hit and miss.
I am determined to make low carb my way of life.
It took many attempts to quit smoking and I finally did (16 years).

Today was a down day with low carb.
I was doing fine until a co-worker son who is a pastry chef brought in a cake and she insisted I try a piece. At first I said no, then I had a small piece. Then I wanted to kick myself. I ended up eat a high carb meal for dinner.
Now I feel like crap and have to start all over again.
This is much harder than quitting smoking.
This is just a endless battle.

Hang in there Shawn! Each new day is a new opportunity to understand yourself a little better. The more you know the better you will be at finding a solution. The battle can be won!

Shawn, that's the way to jump right back on the Bus!
It's interesting to note that whenever somebody says they went off plan, it is usually followed by "and paid for it dearly".

Yes, that is true. Which would make one wonder why we go off plan.
I've said it time and time again. I feel better, look better and certainly behave better when I cut out processed carbs, wheat and sugar.
So why do I continue to try to go back to my old habits? I know better.
At least this time I didn't let it go on for a long period of time and other than severe heartburn and gaining a few pounds (which are gone now)I've finally discovered that I do have an allergy to wheat.

I usually gain 7-10 pounds in the following 3 days after a one meal "oops". How are things going this week?
|
Shawn
|
I'm now at 160.50 lbs
The weight is coming off slowly. I think that has to do with my age.

Hi Shawn. Glad to see you're still hanging in there.

Hi Shawn! Thanks for stopping by and letting us know you're okay!

Keep going Shawn! Don't think of it as pitfalls - think of it as detours. You are still on track, sometimes the track is just longer than it looked from the beginning. You can do it!
