One advantage of not really knowing whether I gained or lost a pound...is I feel like I have gotten off the mental rollercoaster! Just feeling good about myself today.
I have been true to myself, and my low carb eating. Been increasing my water daily - and working on adding in exercise...faithfully...every other day. So far...so good.
I really can't think or describe 'something else' I could be doing...
so not knowing the physical ups and downs... works for me. It is what it is...and time will have to be my only friend right. In time, I will see if this type of diligence and patience - works!
I'm thinking it does! :)
Much Love,
Paula

Well, today I want to thank God for Sundresses!!! I am going away on a two week vacation - and the thought of having to go 'shopping' - because I got rid of everything in a larger SIZE...aaaaggghhhh! But sundresses have a way of forgiving 'some' of your past sins...especially those left on your hips! LOL!
Looking ahead to the weekend - and looking forward to a very special time out w/ my daughter on Saturday. We are going to a Fondue Restaurant. Never been to one of those before.
My personal eating plan involves a once a week - indulgence day. Not a complete PIG OUT DAY... but less thought into my choices...and more natural selection based on my wants or desires. Then right back to normal for the next six days.
I used to be worried about this...but I actually stopped even noticing the 'cravings' etc... once I just committed to this lifestyle. Part of the reason I decided to work w/ this type of plan, is because when you eat lower carb, you tend to eat lower calorie. And in doing so you deplete your body of Leptin. That's a problem if you're trying to LOSE weight.
So to spike your Leptin back to normal, and shock and confuse your body... research suggests this type of 'indulgence' plan once a week will fix all that. Plus it really does help mentally - to know my life choices are not about deprivation.
Hope you are all doing well...
Much Love.

Still on track...and feeling good. No real 'symptoms' of Low Carb Flu or whatever you call it... so that's a good thing.
Really, I generally ate low carb even when I was 'overeating' higher carb foods. I just wouldn't limit the 'indulgence days.' Sometimes they were indulgence 'everyday's'.!!! LOL!
Anyway - glad the recent heatwave is coming back down on the temp gauge. Been enjoying the youngest son home from college for the summer. He, Dad and I had a killer Monopoly game before dinner tonight! (he won) Laughter is a great reliever of stress.
Been sleeping well again. And happy in my day's of Volunteer work.
Still not back to work. But I am not even going to be looking til the middle of July, as I am going away for two weeks on vacation.
I don't think it's by much, but I am sure a tiny bit of water weight has dropped off w/ the return of low carbing. I don't feel so bloated and uncomfortable all day long.
Well, hope you guys are all doing well...
Much Love.

A couple of goods days = feeling much better!!! Starting to wrap my mind around what my options are, and what my choices will be.
Let's see...for starters - I have decided (for now anyway) - not to weigh. (Say What???) That's right...no scale this time. I want to choose to be healthy. Choose to follow the changes I have put in place - and try not to stress about it. I am, afterall, doing this for me. Stepping on the scale for validation is not necessary if in my head, and in my heart, I know I have been doing the right things....the body will follow. The clothes will start to show over time if this method is working.
I would just love to not have to step on a scale again. But if I ever do (at a Dr.'s Appt or whatever) - I just want to not care about the number. As long as I am happy with the sizes I am wearing...the look overall / the shape overall - when I look in the mirror... that's enough for me.
So how do I keep my efforts, attention, and goals SO FAR IN THE FRONT OF MY MIND... that I don't need the scale to be some kind of a reward? Even if I have lost a few pounds - how will I know? I guess that's the point. I won't. And I really don't want it to matter.
If I am choosing a new 'lifestyle' - than to honor myself by living it... is what really matters... and the rest will fall into place.
What if we lived on a planet with NO scales? What if none of you could ever weigh yourself again??? How would you measure your SELF ? What if we had no clothing sizes, no tape measures, no scales, no mirrors!!! You would just have to learn how to be happy with yourself...based on how you feel - and on your choices. We KNOW. We instinctively KNOW.
And right now...that's where I am at. Owning what I know about me. And being honest and true to my choices.
Today, I choose to put me first.
Much Love.

I am really glad to be back here. Feeling powerless is an uncomfortable feeling. Of course, I was never powerless... just mentally exhausted.
Yesterday was a wonderful day of rest. Been under a tremendous amount of stress lately but feeling the light breaking thru ... and sometimes you just need to bask in the sun!
Today is full...and time for me to get it started.
All things food/exercise/lifestyle changes... going smoothly.
Much Love.
