So glad to be back on track
After basically taking a whole month off plan, ok, not quite that bad, but
some popcorn here, a chocolate bar there, too many chicken nuggets, skipping workouts, it is nice to be back on track the last two days. I even had a salad for lunch, something I haven't done in a good long while, and it was yummy and I feel healthier already! Ok, actually I feel kinda crappy, got the fuzzy head and dizziness back, but that just goes to show how badly I was doing when I slackened up for the last month. Yesterday was my "back on track" today, and man, the cravings were back. Today's good though, not hungry at all between meals, and keeping the portions reasonable. So far just a cheeseburger for breakfast and that salad for lunch, not even hungry for dinner yet. Yay! -- -Michelle Levin (Luna) http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick http://www.mindspring.com/~designbyluna |

I know how bad it feels to backslide, and also how great it feels to get back on track. I've had two meals today (the rest of the time, I've been sleeping, because of pain pills). For breakfast, it was Taylor's Pork Roll and scrambled eggs. Mid-afternoon, I had some sugar-free jello with cream. For dinner, it was two cheeseburgers with pickles, but no buns. And a big pile of homemade coleslaw. Other than that, it's been water and herbal tea. I've found that it's more difficult to get back on low-carb than it was to get on it in the first place. For that reason, I'm especially proud of both of us, Michelle, for being where we are today. One day at a time - we're doing it!

No, I know I know. I didn't exactly "take a month off" I was being harder
on myself than necessary. I didn't go back to eating pasta with every meal, I didn't have pasta at all. I was nowhere near eating what I ate before LC, I doubt I went over 100 grams on any one day. It wasn't bad enough to stall or gain weight, but it did slow my weight loss from the usual 8 pounds a month to just 4 pounds. I didn't keep an exact food journal, but I did eat some "off limits" things. I ate two candy bars last month. I ate probably about the total equivalent of 10 cups of popcorn last month. I had chicken nuggets as a meal 5 or 6 times, during the month. My diet was still protein based, I just had a few too many treats and in between meal snacks. Like I said, it wasn't enough to stall me or make me gain, but it was enough to bring cravings back. This is a learning experience for me. I feel like if I had kept going like I was I would have eventually fallen completely off the wagon, but thankfully the cravings and the tiredness were a warning "Danger, danger, go back!" I slipped, I slid, I recovered my balance and now I'm walking just fine again. But I know to be more careful. In article , "Rich R" wrote: Glad you are back, but you have some real carbo issues..

If you'd start exercising for real, you'd do a lot better.

Huh? You knocking Curves? Don't you go knocking Curves, boy-eee!!!! My
body says it's "for real" when the day after a workout everything aches. That good ache, not that "I pulled something" ache. There are some really buff chicks there who don't do any other exercise than Curves, but I plan to add some more activities in when I'm in better shape, I'm thinking volleyball and some sort of martial arts.
