Are you sick of me showing up on Monday exclaiming "Today is the day! I'm getting back on track!". Well I am. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know why I can't get focussed. All I know is that I am afraid to step on the scale and I can't seem to get my act fully together. And, I don't know what that means. I do believe I have made a serious life-style change. I do believe that I have committed my life-style to 'low-ER carb" but I cannot seem to be strict enough with myself lately to commit to the Dr. Poon life-style. Low-ER carb is good for 'maintaining' my weight-loss. But it is not getting me to my goals. I HAVE to recommit to Phase one if I want to see the 150s. And yes, I KNOW I have said it all before. Here's what I am thinking... I think I need to do a week of eating well and journaling but without the scale. I know I am 'up' a little. My birthday was on the 5th and I ate CAKE for dessert and then cake for BREAKFAST the following day, and I have not really reined myself all the way back in since then. But it's time. And from now until my husband's birthday in May, there really shouldn't be any major distractions.
So anyways, here I am, begging that if you did read this, that you'll stick with me, maybe even cheer me on. I do want to get on track.
I want to put this fertility stuff aside for a while. It's hard because it's pretty much all I think about, but I need to focus on other things for the time being, things like my physical health, and my financial health.
So there will be no scale updates this week.
Breakfast- 1 egg, egg whites scrambled
3x coffee with cream
3 x glass of water with lemon
Lunch - kale salad with olive oil dressing and leftover chicken
Dinner- Pulled Pork, asparagus salad
My husband and I went to an auction this afternoon/evening. I was starving. It's frustrating at how few 'snacks' are low-carb. I had to settle for a couple bites of my husband's hotdog (wiener only, no bun). Once we were home we had a nice supper. I had made pulled pork in the crock pot on Saturday, so I just warmed some of it up quickly for myself. I steamed some asparagus in the microwave and mixed up some salad. I made some spaghetti for my husband (his all time favorite).
It really is helpful to cook on the weekend and have a fridge full of low-carb options that simply need to be warmed up. Otherwise, I find myself reaching for the quick and easy- and those tend to be either fast food crap, or carbs and sometimes both.
Well folks,
thanks for sticking with me. I will truly try to do better.
Jana
