A Butt Kickin'

Sometimes that is what it takes. A BUTT KICKIN' from myself! So, how many days have I been saying and saying I am going to get back on tranck and well honestly, I haven't. As I have said before when I was in a moment of struggling....I REFUSE to gain this weight back. REFUSE...you hear me. Well, that was the problem, everyone was hearing me except myself.

I am feeling better from all that was going on in Dec and have a dr appt this afternoon. Thinking I am feeling good enough now to get back to what I know needs to be done. Losin' It!

A couple of months ago I was thinking of starting Weight Watcher's which I have done in the past and really like it. Several of ya'll are doing WW and I have been reading what you have to say. Thing is, right now I do not want to shell out the money to join -not even the online version. I really want to do this plan and will continue to research more things like if I can get my hands on the point value of the foods without actually joining yet. Sorry, if that sounds bad but like I said I don't want to shell out the money yet with all I had to spend being sick in Dec.

Anyway, here I am starting things out right this morning. I am doing the low carb for now. I will post more details of what I am doing later. Work is calling...

Breakfast:
2 eggs .5 carbs each.
water
Lunch:
2 turkey patters 0 carbs each.
water
2 pieces of gum 1 carb each
Supper:
Chinese Chicken Salad (low carb recipe) ? carbs

After Much Research...

I have decided to make some changes around here. After having my two bad eating days and having that heart to heart with myself I realized I had suddenly come to a cross road in my weight loss journey. I have become bored with my current eating therefore not paying as much attention to it as I should. Now I refuse to regain what I have lost and furthermore I refuse not to meet my goal. I researched some changes I could make and what it was I really wanted to do. Many things factored into my decision: existing health issues, family history of heart problems, proper care of my body and more. So here is what I started on Monday. I know many of you are not going to be a fan of this but it is what I feel I need to do right now. If it doesn't work back to more research....

I have changed to a low carb diet. Not exactly Atkins, South Beach, or Stillmans and heavens NO not Kimkins. I have been watching my carb intake eating turkey, chicken, eggs, low carb veggies, 8 glasses of water and whey protein drinks several times a day (I will post more on protein drinks later in another post). I have a sort of tweaked regimen I am trying and I will see how the end of month plays out for me on Friday. I am staying very focused on my foods and not taking my eye off the ball. I am also making myself take my multi-vitamin regularly, Vitamin C regularly, and my prescription Folic Acid.

I will weigh in on Friday morning (as that is weigh in day over at Wicked Weighs) and report how I am doing. Wishing you and me luck this week and every week after!!!!
