well....crap.
Convinced the battery in my scale was surely dying, I replaced it. Then
I dragged the damn thing all over the floor to find the "right" spot, the spot where the numbers would read, "190". Inagine my dismay to finally come to grips with the hard fact----only one pound gone in a week. AAAAAGGGGHHHHH. OK. Life is full of dissapointments. I warched "Hud" on TV this morning....and a least I didnt have to shoot all my cattle due to Hoof and Mouth disease....so, things could be worse. Now....my thinking was...."as long as I keep it to 20 carbs a day, it shouldnt matter where those carbs came from." Evidentally.....this is not true. If I've learned anything this week, it's this: Ya cant drink a liter of wine a day and lose weight. But what I want to know is.....WHY? why are wine carbs dfferent from food carbs? Where did my logic err? What exactly is it that makes this happen? Does alcohol....stop ketosis? Or...what? Of course, I also did O exercise this week. There is no such thing as a Free Lunch. Nor a "get out of jail free" card. Do NOT pass GO. Do not collect $200. Color me bummed. sigh. Is there anything worse than the knowledge, "I did this to myself"?

Thanks for the helpful comment, Marsha. No, I didnt read the book at
all. or any other book, actually, since about 1980. I did order it on tape, however and am expecting it pretty much any time now. The Library for the Blind has 11 copies---all were "out". LassChance Start LC~5-16-05 202-194-165 (i only weigh on Sunday) |

Not only does a liter of red wine have around 720 calories, white around 680 (give or take) those calories are burned before anything else. So while you're burning alcohol calories you aren't burning fat. -- Jeri "Change is inevitable, except from vending machines." |

First of all a pound is nothing to sneeze at, it's a loss which is all good.
Patience IS a virtue. Second, alcohol does contain calories. Are you sure about the carb count of your wine? Third, maybe 20 carbs isn't your sweet spot for losing.

Jeri---ok, that makes sense.
My logic also was, "If Im drinking a bottle of wine every day (well, most days) ANYWAY, then reducing the number of cals and carbs by LC eatring would still be relative to when Im NOT LCing....thus, still be a ****load fewer cals and carbs. But I see wha you're saying about burning the alcohold first. That makes sense. Partic since I didnt do my aerobics at all this week. thanks- LassChance Start LC~5-16-05 202-194-165 (i only weigh on Sunday) |
