Week 47 and Week 48 Results

Week 45 Results

Here is your hint for this week's results (notice the steep cliff, going UP)!  

Week 29 through 33 Results!

After checking out of the Low Carb Journey for 5 weeks, I am back!  

Week 28 Results

This has not been a good week, or even month for that matter.

I had a big gain, a lot of stress, and failed Intermittent Fasting experiment.  And did I mention my period came early, a whole week early?  

Ugh!

I have decided to take the next 28 days off from weighing in.  I have handed over the scale to my husband, whom will hide it and not allow me to weigh in again until the morning of April 7, 2014.  

Wish me luck!

Week 27 Results.... Not So good

Week 25 Results

Not so good this week.  

I covered a lot, but had a lot to say.  

Week 24 Results!

I don't have the best news to report, but I am staying positive and moving forward. 

Let me know what you think!

Week 16 Results!

I talked a LOT in this video.  Hopefully you can get something from my ramblings.  

Week 14 Results!

I'm going to cut to the chase and let you watch the video.  Between the most recent post and this video, you get the picture ;)

Week 13 Results! No good news here :(

It took a lot of courage for me to post this video, but I need to not only be honest with all of you, but also myself.  

Also, I KNOW I will be back on the wagon and living this lifestyle for the rest of my life.  Therefore, I had to document my lowest point along with my highest points.  

If you have any tips or words of wisdom, please share them, because I need them!!!!

Week 11/12 Results are In!

Wow, posting this video and admitting my faults has truly been a hard one for me.  

On November 7th I flew to Thailand and didn't return until the night of the 15th.  Although I did fairly well in Thailand, I have not been doing good since returning (including today and this evening).  I have been re-motivated by 3 events that have taken place in the past 24 hours.  

Watch my video and see what happens....

If you are going to look behind you, only focus on the positive, not the negative.  If you are going to focus on the now, only think positive.  If you are going to look at the future, only imagine positive.  

Sorry I can't state that in a cute saying to put on bumper stickers.  The truth isn't always poetic. 

Frustrated but will keep on keepin on

As I may have mentioned, I weigh myself every single morning.  I am not one for surprises, at least not the type to send me into a crying fit, call out of work and stay in bed.  Not that its ever happened, but you know what I mean.  So I am not going to wait an entire week to find out if I have gained or lost.  

So... I weigh myself every morning.  This helps me look at the day before and see if there is something I did really good, really bad, etc.  The past couple of weeks, I have been having a couple days here and there where I wake up with a .2 pound gain.  But today, I woke up with a .6 pound gain.  Seriously?  How depressing is that.  

I have also been dealing with (yesterday and today) a sugar drop feeling.  After eating breakfast (low carb gumbo soup), I feel a shaky sugar feeling about 3 hours later.  It doesn't feel as bad as when I used to drink/eat a ton of sugar, but it feels similar.  And I DO NOT LIKE IT.  I thought my gumbo soup was low carb, but apparently not.  So I told my husband it is all his and I am back to eggs, bacon, etc for breakfast.  But I will admit, I would much rather have soup, leftover dinner, etc. than eggs and bacon.  I've never been a big fan of either of them, so eating them for breakfast is really hard.  Oh well.

I will put on my big girl pants and do this right!  I got weight to lose ya'll.  No horse playing!

p.s.  I am not supposed to start my girly time for another 5 days, but signs have shown it may come early.  I know this may have a lot to do with everything as well.  

Hard time and gaining weight

I've been having a really hard time these past 2 days.  Not with the diet, or so I thought.  I weigh myself every day so that I may determine whether I am on the right track or not.  I don't keep track of my nutritional elements, so this is my weigh of making sure I am doing the right thing.  Once I feel confident that I am, I will probably reduce to once a week.

Yesterday I woke up with a .2 weight gain, and today I woke up with a 1 lb weight gain.  Very frustrating.  I have been feeling very tired and unmotivated in life, but not with the diet.  I have been eating very well with no slip-ups.  

The day before, I have no idea why I gained .2 pounds.  But yesterday, I ate out twice.  I thought I was doing good, but the scale doesn't lie, although I wouldn't mind if it told a little white lie every now and then.  Especially one this morning.  

Back to yesterday.  I ate lunch at a local restaurant that makes a great asian salad with pork and homemade oil/vinegar/ginger dressing.  

For dinner, we ate at a mexican restaurant that has this creamy sauce over chicken with chipotles.  YUM!  I also ate some chunky guacamole that is very fresh and tasty.  Unfortunately, this is the first time I have overate since I started on this adventure.  I did feel like crap.  I know this meal is the source of my weight gain, but I am naturally just beating myself up over it.  

I hope I can restrain myself in eating.  I'm not sure how I overate, but I am going to slow down and pay much more attention.
