Chef Karen's Journal, 22 November 2013

Today I am starting to track my calories. Apparently a 40 inch waist isn't a good thing, and even though I have been working out every day for the last three years I can't get myself under 185 pounds. The doctor yesterday said I have an insulin processing issue so I get to take medicine for a month to see if it can be regulated. Right now I look like I have a beach ball AND a muffin top. Nothing closes. I wear the same three things every day. Seven days a week I do bar class and run. Not fair. I now have a 1700 calorie and 40 carb budget. Four weeks. I can do this.

Man with that type of activity and carb level you should be losing! That has to suck to be doing the right thing and not getting what you want. But one thing I know for sure is the body might be stubborn but it isnt an immovable object. With your outlook, youll get there!

@sigmablue thanks! I think the medicine I am taking (Metformin) has killed my appetite. Awareness of the carbs is actually pretty funny since I never looked at that before and now I believe I was just completely ignorant of just how poorly I was eating despite being "healthy"--like spicy tuna rolls really are laden with carbs. So maybe in a month I will look better. But Thanksgiving….what a time to start this.

Wow! Look how far you have come in the last couple of months. I bet your 40 inch waist is much smaller now! Inspiration for my 40 inch plus waist! Thank you-- Rose
