24 September 2012

Had a wonderful weekend. Plenty of rest time, and exploration w/ my hubby as we ventured out around Gloucester and Rockport, MA. What a beautiful area!! Lots of walking, picture taking and basking in the sun!

Made it successfully through the weekend in regards to eating. Even with eating out, I chose wisely... kept myself hydrated (which was a challenge to find bathrooms!) but all in all, it was a good weekend!!

Headed out to my first volunteer 'position' working in the office of my home church. After, I will end up my day at the grocery store, then back home to spoil my husband... he is in hopes for a homemade 'apple crisp' and I would really like to surprise him and have one made when he walks through the door!

He IS NOT following low carb... and i don't really like 'apple crisp'... so this shouldn't turn into any kind of an issue for me.

Hope you are all doing well.

Much Love.

I am not leaving FatSecret - but I am taking a leave of absence (so to speak.) I am incredibly grateful for the love and support of all of you that have befriended me during my time here. And I didn't want to just disappear without anyone knowing...what the heck!

I have taken two volunteer positions that will require four days a week out of the house on a regular basis. (and I am still looking for a job to boot!)

But during this time, I am venturing out on a journey of a different sort. In the very beginning, I talked a lot about becoming 'mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually - healthy'. And I have worked on each of these aspects of myself all throughout this process.

Well, I am moving in the direction of taking on some additional work with each of those goals in mind. And these volunteer positions are just the beginning.

I will try to come back here once a week - post a short update, weigh in and attempt to catch a few of you to offer my continued support.

I am still continuing with my low carb lifestyle, still working on returning to my original weightloss goal, and still working on a continued maintenance level from there... but I am more concerned about what YOU are working on. If I can help you, please let me know.

A solid plan of action, a continued focus on working that plan, and a renewed effort in daily holding yourself accountable... all things right out of the pages of Successful Weight Loss 101!!! Much Love.

11 September 2012

Slow and steady, getting things back 'in control'. Noticed that Keld is struggling w/ the Sugars..and so was I... but he doesn't live a low carb/sugar free lifestyle. And I supposedly DO!!! So for me, it is quite EXPECTED to torture myself in this manner, when I have indulged in the very things I know I should not!

You know, there is a scripture verse where the Apostle Paul talks about doing the very things he does NOT want to do...but yet NOT doing the things he DOES want to do! Yikes...this is an aged old problem. We're human!!! And it is quite difficult to ALWAYS steer clear of the problems.

I have (once again) been reading and looking at a variety of ways to figure out what I can ... and cannot eat... on a low carb lifestyle WITHOUT:

1. Stalling my losses
2. Invoking the crazy craving monster afterwards.

Let's just say...icecream is nowhere on the POTENTIAL LIST, and neither is CHOCOLATE! ;)

But now feeling much better, stronger, and without the headaches or nonstop cravings to preoccupy my mind... I am back in the game!

You know - Induction and the proper way of doing OWL, (ongoing weight loss) - has the rules and boundaries pretty well down to a science!

If we could only stop ourselves from getting side tracked, and help ourselves by following the plan... we'd be off and running!!!

Speaking of which... I am off to go for a lovely walk around a local lake this morning with a friend!

Hope you are all well...
Much Love.

What defines healthy? I want to have a 'to each his/her own' mentality...but when I see people on here who are doing things that seriously can harm themselves, and/or their bodies/metabolisms...when will our pursuit of becoming healthy, trim and fit...or whatever...become too much!

I just want to eat normally, feel good, stop obsessing... you know...

and for the most part, I have done that. And I am proud of me today. Whether I hit my next goal by the pre-determined deadline or not... I am proud of me today.

I have not tried to do this in ways that I think are even remotely unhealthy. Just focused on changes I knew I could LIVE with. Afterall, isn't that what creating a new 'lifestyle' should be all about?

Evaluate your choices today. Then if you are making good ones...be proud of your efforts. And if any of your choices don't line up w/ 'healthy' ... ask for help and see if as a community we can come up w/ some suggestions to help you make some adjustments in the right direction!

One cannot live long term on alcohol and sugar! Just sayin'!!!

Much Love.
