Back up a bit but I don't feel too horrid. I've been unable to curb the carbs like I was worried would happen. Thing is, I'm still eating waaay better than I was before. There are some really good habits I've formed and will stick with but...
I'm really torn about how to proceed. There are things I really miss like fresh fruits and oats and cereal. The key is moderation of course (isn't it always) but sticking to low carb is what I need to define for me. The SAD norm is somewhere between 250 and 300 carbs a day. Most of those come from sugar, flour, and starches like potatoes.
I know I'll still refuse to eat wheat. Just cutting that one processed item from my regular intake has made a world of difference. I plan to stick with stevia as my primary sweetener but regular table sugar on occasion.
Being home all day has really thrown me. I know I'm getting more exercise than before, and am fairly confident that my caloric intake hasn't gone through the roof. Maybe I need to set the computer out on the dining room table for a few days to make it easier to keep track of my intake as a check. Its been hard to make the time for sitting down to get on here (which seems silly since I'm home all day) but it seems to be a prudent way to do a reality check since I'm not losing.
Not gaining isn't enough :)
