Lowcarbfriend

I’m curious as to how it is different from the one I used a couple of years ago…

Thanks!

I wish I could just eat 20 carbs from the sources that suit me best.

I think the toughest part for me is limiting the carb sources.
I’m willing to give up grains and sugar but I long for more variety.

Do you feel me?

I was thinking about how happy I am to have lost 24 pounds and I was putting on my makeup and in my mind I thought, "I hope I can WIN another 20 pounds"…. LOL

even though I’m LOSING, I’m really WINNING.

the ingredients in your shake? I know this is alot to ask and time consuming. If you are able it is appreciated!
TIA!

……..trust me when I tell you this will take forever.
Oh yes…only 20 more lbs to lose (again…)…a weight I haven’t seen in 8 years…120…

This is the time where I screw around-get comfy-and forget my master plan….to be at my goal weight.

I have the self esteem of a babypea…and the confidence of a bull. The self esteem issue is due to my ‘outside’ the confidence is from the love I have for "ME" as a whole…on the inside. I want them to be friends.

My sweet friend Brook and I were/are big watchers of Starting Over…Rhonda kinda ’spoke’ to both of us…and we went and got this book:

It truly changed my life….and slowly, I’m forgetting the message….

For instance…out at a bar Saturday…I feel good…having fun…in walks a skinny girl and guess what I feel like ? A TOAD. My attitude changes…I wonder how it feels to be so skinny, tight little belly…

I started 2006 at 165. Have gotten down to 140-145 in the past 12 months. I am 4′10 3/4" and tiny framed, but a ton of leg muscle from dancing for 17 years. The scale means SOMETHING to me…but I do know that I love my legs, I know they weigh more…and that’s why I chose 120 as my final weight. To many my height, that is still overweight.

I am currently a loose size 10. Some 8’s, and one pair of very vanity size
7’s. It’s very hard to shop for me. I have a very large chest (reduced in 1998) but still very large for my frame. Carry some weight in my upper arms…smaller waist, (did I mention I’m 58" tall?) carry 100000% of my weight in my belly/hips. see why I hated that girl at the bar???

Anyhow. I need to just post my menu daily somewhere and why not do it here? I’ve been on this board for 6 years and met a handful of freinds for LIFE here. They know who they are and I love them to pieces.

So, there’s me in a nutshell. All comments/opinions/recommedations/asskickins welcome!

If you really read this, bless your heart

Here I go…again…I had a blog spot but didn’t like the format and messed it up when trying to copy it over so I am starting all over again.

I started my lowcarb journey again on Jan. 1, 2008. With the help and motivation of several people on this site, in particular Travelingmama and Skaylarson (Kat and Sharon!) I have made it 5 months and finally feel like I have made the official lifestyle change rather than just thinking I’m on a diet. I feel better, I look better and I’m at my all time healthiest even if my weight doesn’t agree. Oh yeah, its also been just a little over 4 weeks since I quit the sticks too! I keep forgetting about that, which I guess is a good thing!

I want to start journaling my dailies, in general; my food, my exercise, my thoughts. I don’t want to be a specific, calorie-counting, calories burned, freak of nature, rather, I am just jotting things down as a reference.

Since Jan. I have lost 40 lbs, which is good, but let’s face it, at my weight it should’ve been more but I’ve always been a slow loser. I’m not beating myself up over it, I’m accepting it and moving on. At least its been mostly consistent. I work out 5-6 days/week mostly doing WATP (and loving it) and also some interval walking/jogging outside. In addition, I have been doing strength training 2x week.

As of today, I have exactly 5 weeks to go before I have a hysterectomy, which is what is kicking my butt in gear again. I’m not nervous about the surgery, more like I’m worried about what I’ll do with myself after the surgery. I’m not the kind of person who enjoys relaxing and sitting around, in fact I kind of fear it. But I know I have to in order to recover, which is why I am planning ahead.

The plan is to recap the previous day as my planned day never turns out that way and since I was sick most of the weekend I’ll start the recap tomorrow, because I can!
