I think I'm in love!

Ok, if I'm not in love then I'm in serious like! As previously mentioned , ( to all 3 of you) I already fell off the diet horse (fortunately I landed on the most padded part of my body....no, not my head Floozie!). Other than having a bruise ego and gaining back some of my hard fought poundage there was little damage. It did give me a chance to look over what I'm doing and what went wrong.

I liked the quick weight loss of the first week (10 pounds!) It gave me great incentive to continue but also false expectations that the rest of the weight would just fall off.

I like the eating every 3 hours to keep my metabolism up.

I can tolerate exercise but haven't gotten to where I can look forward to it yet.

I like drinking water or Crystal Light.

The trouble was no salt, no taste, same , same, same. I like chicken, turkey, tuna but need something to make it tasty. There was nothing to look forward to.

So I've changed my eating plan again. This one is Carb-cycling that helps melt off fat. (Throw me in that Briar Patch!) You alternate between low carbs one day, high carbs the next!

Yesterday was the low carbs......it wasn't bad at all compared to what I had been eating.

Today is high carbs.....yummy, yummy, yummy! I had whole grain waffles for breakfast with a cup of fruit and 1 and half Tablespoons of real maple syrup. (Ok, so maybe I am on a sugar buzz...I loved it! It was legalized cheating!! How great is that?

Best news of all.....down 2 pounds this AM ( yes, it was 2 pounds that I had already lost but I still claimed it!!!)

This grrrl is going to work with a smile on her face today. PB and J sandwich for lunch....heaven!

Ok, I see your head shaking and that finger pointing.....lets give it a shot ok?

Got to go! Leslie is waiting for our walk. Carbs are my new best friend! (Sigh of contentment!)
