18 February 2011
The sun is rising and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day. I'm going to attempt to be as active as possible today. I'm supposed to do laundry but I think I'm going to skip it. Maybe I'll save it for later and I can make a date out of it with the hubster. I'm sure he'd love that. It's not like we do anything on the weekend anyway. I cleaned the apartment yesterday really well so I didn't get in a walk or Callanetics.
I'm loving doing Callanetics and I think I can see small results already only having spent 5 hours on the program. If anyone has ever done it then you know just how deceivingly hard they are. If you haven't done it or even heard of it, it's a system of exercise that's a little like ballet warm-up, yoga, and pilates. It was created in the 1980s by a woman named Callan, hence Callanetics. The dvd I have was made in the late 80s so it's kind of hilarious looking because it's so dated and stylistically so 1980s. I've gotten to the point that I've pretty much got it memorized so I don't really have to watch it as much as in the beginning. If anyone would like to see what it can do for a body just google (I love that that is a verb!) Callanetics results pictures. Amazing.
Eating has been going just okay. I'm still under 20 net carbs, but I have added in a few more foods that aren't in induction like natural peanut butter and unsweetened cocoa. They haven't triggered any cravings, but the only things I've ever really craved are things like pasta, bread or potatoes. I'm sure if we go visit our families this summer fresh corn on the cob just out of the field will be where I break.
Everyone have a fabulous Friday!!!
CHEERS!!!

After my little rant yesterday I feel a bit silly. It's such a first world problem that I have that it can hardly be called a problem. My little weight issue is just that...little...In the scheme of things I am not so overweight that it negatively affects my health. Yes, my joints are taking a beating, but they did before I was heavy because of mistreating them more than anything. I have not
one day
, in my nearly 42 years on Earth, had to go hungry other than choosing to stupidly do so. So many people on this big blue planet cannot make that claim. I lead a pretty charmed life and should be so much more grateful for it than I am. My biggest worry right now is whether or not my husband and I stay in South Florida for the summer where I will most likely remain unemployed while he continues to work a job he gets paid very well for and likes or to go back to Alaska and both of us work and live in a stunning environment for the summer. That's it. My big dilemma.
To all of my new buddies I've made here on FS, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, encouragement and sympathy.

MAJOR FRUSTRATION
TODAY IS WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY. It should be renamed woe is me wednesday for how I feel about it today.
ONE stinkin' pound lost and only a total of a half an inch. The only measurement that moved down was my chest and it went down a whole inch. My hips on the other hand gained a half an inch.
I unofficially weighed this past Saturday when my husband (who is just melting away) did and my weight was the same as it is today. 186. Four days and no movement on the scale. And very little movement in the tape measure. I honestly don't know if I'm measuring myself in the same exact spot every time so I can't really rely on measurements either. I'd like to say my clothes are fitting looser, but they aren't.
I suppose I have to keep reminding myself about the good aspects. I feel better, I have more energy, I'm sleeping better, I'm never hungry, blah, blah, but really??? right now I don't care about those things. I want to see some progress.
Today I honestly feel that if I had just cut out the alcohol I would have lost a pound in two weeks without changing ANY of my eating habits.
AARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!
So, after the weighing and measuring I stomped out a 4 mile walk. I listened to some old R&B and Soul and
breathed fire and blew steam out of my ears. After the first 2 miles I looked up and around and saw all of the different ages and sizes and shapes out walking and jogging and rollerblading and bicycling around me. None of them were perfect and neither am I. I was feeling pretty positive until I passed a skinny tanned lady sitting at an outdoor cafe smoking a cigarette and drinking what looked like a Bloody Mary and the cynicism crept back in. I'm going to do my best to reign in it, but it's so hard.
Measurements for Feb 2 vs. Feb 9 vs. Feb 16
Chest--41" -- 40.5" -- 39.5"
Waist--36.5" -- 35" -- 35"
Hips (ugh)--45.5" -- 44" -- 44.5"
Thigh--27" -- 27" -- 27"
Upper Arm (the guns)--13" -- 12.5" -- 12.5"
I dunno....I guess I'll see what next Wednesday holds and I'll keep up with the exercise and see if there is something I can eliminate from my diet.
What I'm Grateful for Today:
Not much
Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke, Otis Reading, Nina Simone,
My "sidewalk" where I stomp out 4 miles

I feel like I've been absent for awhile, but it's only really been a couple of days. I've been spending a lot of time outside and with friends and away from the computer which is a major time suck for me. I'll need to look something up and once I find it it leads me to need to find out about something else, and so on and so on. What's the old saying-Curiosity Killed the Cat--In my case Curiosity Made the Cat Fat.
Sunday night I went to a great Cajun restaurant and I need to give a shout to Shuck n Dive in Ft Lauderdale for making it easy to be low carb. I had Andouille sausage, green beans and deviled eggs.
Yes!!!! Deviled eggs on the menu as a side dish and they were amazing. I was so afraid I'd crumble in the face of their yummy crawfish etouffee, but when I actually saw all of the options I had I was able to guide myself in the right direction. My husband had the cajun mixed grill which came with red beans and rice and hushpuppies and cole slaw. He didn't even ask for substitutions or for them to hold that stuff and he was able to not eat it. I don't know how. I nearly caved and had one of his hush puppies, but kept my hands to myself. I did, however, have a glass of a lovely Malbec. It was my first drop of wine in 3 weeks. And I proudly can say one was all I wanted. I attempted to have another glass last night with my Valentine's dinner, but only had a couple of sips and didn't really even like it. How strange for me. I made beautiful filet mignon-rare-lemon garlic butter broccoli and my own made up kind of carb heavy dessert. It was cream cheese blended with a little natural peanut butter and splenda and then lightened up with some whipped cream which I whipped with vanilla and a little more splenda. Then to make matters yummier I topped the whole thing with cocoa whipped cream. It was so delicious but definitely a special occasion treat.
I don't feel bad about any of my food/drink choices the past few days. They were a little heavier than I normally would have, but still not off plan and I had a lot of fun.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a great Valentine's day.
