monday, monday
while doing the semi-low carb thing last week, i learned somethings about myself:
no, my new year’s resolution isn’t to blog more often…
but it is to do things that will help me continue to lose weight.
let me catch you up…
blogging and working is really hard for me. going back to work in general was hard, but i feel better about it now. my hormones have settled down, and thus, my emotional rollercoaster is now more like a tilt-a-whirl that tips once a month. on the diet front, i have found something that really works consistently for me: weight watchers. i love low carb…and i love body for life. i have kind of incorporated those meals into me daily point talleys. balancing my carb and protein makes me feel great and stay fuller, longer. but, being able to count points lets me feel more in control and know the calories of the foods i am putting in my mouth. doing this, i have lost about 18 pounds since october 31.
that was my weight loss total on december 19…have not really weighed since then. and i won’t until the end of the week. i did not really count points over christmas, and drank quite a bit. so, i’m giving myself a break until friday.
christmas here was wonderful. hope your’s was the same.
on the way down
well, dr. atkins seems to be helping me, any water weight is now gone. i woke up this morning and was 3 pounds lighter…which has kind of given me a second wind to keep going with the induction. besides the eggs, i was all lean meat and green veggies yesterday. was not even very hungry. i know atkins is still kind of…controversial. but, i am eating lean meats, veggies….nothing high fat. i will get back with BFL at some point, but this is giving me a nice little jump. today’s meal will probably look a little like yesterday’s, but today i’m going to add some whey protein shakes.
today’s workout is a FUN one: core rhythms. it’s a workout/dance dvd and you can feel your legs and waist firming while doing it. i have found that exercise is helping me feel better with the depression. i am trying to stop by the Dr. tomorrow to find out my next step.
can’t get you out of my system
things are about the same, so i guess it’s not the BC, since that is out of my system. i am taking the kids into daycare on friday to get some things done, and to get the baby a little familiar with his teachers. and, today i am starting something new Read the rest of this entry »
