Well being on low carb plan i have to learn to like things like turkey, it's never been something i like, at all. But i had some today (we did Thanksgiving today) and some cauliflower with salad. i had ONE bite of Syr's delicious stuffing.. and skipped the pie.
So i survived it! i'm hoping to be down into the next 10 pound increment on Tuesday. |

I seem to have forgotten all my healthier ways. Time to figure out what is going on and get back on track. I suspect there will be journaling and maybe some meditation. Oh.... not doing those things may have something to do with not taking care of myself.
Thanks for helping me work through this.

Carbs, Carbs, Carbs...I have to weigh in today. I should be on track but do not expect any weight loss from the last week. Its been a carb week.
I am back to lean proteins and lots of vegetables mostly in the form of soups that I make every day. One thing that is constant with me: Daily affirmations, getting enough water, lots of hot sauce to boost metabolism and because I love it, and never, ever, ever sitting down after a meal. That last piece alone makes all the difference in the world. So even if I go off track, or off the rails for a day  if I keep up the behaviors that work I can find my way back.

I *HAVE* to get back on track... we were doing so good making our morning superfood smoothies and eating right. I even managed to give up Diet Coke, but we've fallen right back into old habits. And we're planning on Ft Lauderdale over spring break so I don't have much time!

One thing I discovered is that anything without a firm waistband is my "enemy". I need that slightly restrictive reminder and it always feels so good when I drop a size.
I still have a few of my old clothes, the ones that weren't fit to donate, and occasionally try them on as a reminder of my progress. But sometimes, depending on my mindset at the time, I still see the old me in the mirror...doesn't matter that the outfit is hanging off me, she's still there looking back at me. It's just like back in the 80s when I was in full blown bulimarexia and starved myself down to a dangerous and unhealthy weight...the near skeleton looking in the mirror saw someone far bigger than I'd ever been. The main difference now is when that happens I know not to believe what I see. I am much stronger and that demon has no power over me. |

I love fitting into jeans I haven't worn in a while. I mostly wear sweat pants this time of year and my clothes loose. But I was going through old clothes trying to find stuff to wear and BAM! They went right on!
I'm having a hard time juicing when its chilly out. I'm still doing it but not as much. I'm looking for comfort recipes that use a lot of veggies, spices, no grains. I took cubed lamb, cooked it in ghee, added lots of curry type spices, coconut cream, keffir lime, mushrooms and then emptied a few packs of organic mixed veggies. It was really good and the sauce full of flavor. If anyone has any recipes for filling foods using small amounts of meat but huge amounts of veggies will you send them to me? Someone told me yesterday that coffee increases cortiosol levels and if you stopped drinking coffee you'd drop weight. I majorly cut back and noticed all kinds of differences but damn do I miss coffee.

Coffee's also a diuretic, so your body will appreciate not having that zap of fluid, especially with dry winter air.
I've gained 2 lbs over what my 'norm' has become. Damn Christmas candy and home cooking. I wish comfort food wasn't so calorie laden. Or that I didn't crave it so badly. We've planned our Christmas dinner and Luvs is not. helping. at. all.  So, I'm going to have to work to make sure we have salad with good fibrous greens and lots of nice steamed veggies to counterbalance all those carbs....potatoes, stuffing, rolls...! |

I just can't do salads so much in winter. I love them and eat them all the time when its warmer. I grew a bunch of sweet potatoes over the summer and I've been eating these. I'm pretty much sticking to protein and veggies but love sauces and such. I love roasting veggies too.
