Blech, what a day!

Just have to vent a little bit about a lousy day so far..got a speeding ticket, and it just trashed my mood for the day. Oh, and I gained back 2 lbs, too.

Enough...I'm going to focus on the positive for the rest of the day and see how it goes!

OK..the Low Carb is Working!

Ok, so I did the first week of the induction period and lost nearly 8 lbs. I'm amazed and delighted. This week I am adding in 3 days a week work outs and still doing the induction period. The headaches are gone and my face is starting to clear up. It was a hard week, but I keep saying to myself, it's for my health and well-being. I need to live a long time!!

In other news, I am SO busy now that I am making more friends. I found a gym and diet buddy in a mom from my son's classroom and I'm so grateful..she's one of those master organizers so we'll be involved in doing a LOT of things together and with the kids. Eli will keep having social exposure even after school ends, which is good.

I am so glad I restarted this, I so needed to start feeling good about myself again.

Focus on Me

Well, I just started a low carb diet again and I must say that the book I got from the library really rocks my world. Wonderful recipes, fast and easy execution and goooood food. Tonight we had shrimp scampi over greens and roasted asparagus. Boy, was that good.

So the book is Low Carb Meals in Minutes by Linda Gassenheimer and I highly recommend this for ease of use and deliciousness. I have a headache tonight thanks to not having sugar, but I am hoping the end results will be worth the brief headaches.

So, the new me will be a better me in a few weeks. Right now I'm still struggling along with weight and health, but I hope to feel a lot better soon!
