Did a good job yesterday w/ my goals...but let my proteins drop out at lunch, as I wasn't that hungry...so my calories were a bit low. (note to self: add some tuna or something next time.)
Today's Goals:
Calories: 1400
Exercise: Warm up / Upper Body Workout / Cool Down
Water: 84 oz
Carbs: Under 20g
Somehow I have GOT to fit in dress shopping! (hopefully today) As tomorrow is my next Dr.'s appt!
Everyone here on the homefront ... is doing just fine.
Been reading a lot of people's journals, and evaluating and analyzing food journals. Mostly looking to see if I can spot things that others are doing successfully, that perhaps I have missed.
How often do you go back through your own journals...both food intake, and written ... and look for clues???
Do you play detective w/your own stuff to see if you can see patterns, or cause and effect issues???
MYSELF included - I still see an awful lot of 'stress' gains. Just the 'introduction' of stress into your body is enough to trigger responses. (you don't actually have to eat / overeat / or go off plan to gain) ...just be stressed out over something. Anything. And booom! Up she goes.
Bodies are weird! Confounding. Confusing. And Amazing! All rolled into one!!!
Take some time this weekend...and make it a point to analyze your info! Were you in the correct percentages??? What about your calories? Is there any patterns to when you were losing ? to when you are at a stall ? to when you gain ?
Always good to be open to learning something new...every day! Much Love.

Raven, LOL! You said it! (don't think the folks at church need to see me walk in - in my Victoria's Secret!) Wouldn't be much of a secret now would it!! And thank you for the prayers! They are greatly received!!! Much Love.

Boy are you right Paula about the stress. I believe that is why I have slowed so much is because there is always LOTS of stress around here. Slow weight loss with me I have come to accept, because I am in it for life this time. I have to confess that I haven't looked through many food diaries because I am usually here reading, responding, and journaling. So thanks for waking me up to that.lol I sure hope you get to do your dress shopping. I can't wait to see the new you in a new dress. Great job on stick to your goals. Have a wonderful day.:)HUGS:)

Keli, Bren, and Laurie...thanks ladies...let us not forget, we are all in this thing together! I spent a year spinning my wheels so to speak, and then a year working at this new WOL. We all have learned sooooo much individually, and collectively...and helping each other...well, it just becomes natural. Love you guys!

Thanks Paula for being there as a great role model and encourager. You're a great buddy! Thanks for reminding us to investigate our journals. Recently I did just that and have changed my plan from net carbs to total carbs staying at 20 or less total carbs, until I am able to get more exercise. In case you didn't remember I fractured my arm and leg so physical therapy is the only exercise besides housework that I can do. Have a great day 'sis'. Love and Hugs{{{}}}

Hi Paula, I too echo the sentiments expressed here. You are a great buddy. Thanks for the encouragement and motivation you provide for us here. All to often we get caught up in inputting the data that we forget to analyze it, it is so important to do that. We can learn so much from it. You are a great detective Good luck with the MD and shopping. Remember we want to see you in the dress. :)

Paula, I"m back I've been a bad girl but I've always kept lowcarb in mind, just 'fudge' alittle here and there and I can feel the difference. I was trying to use the 'problems' with this site as an excuse at first (I would get and still do get bumped off multiple times) BUT I have to do this for me so I'm back I have to displine myself to come here at least everyother day if not everyday. I have to admit to myself and others that I am an addict and I have to be accountable to myself in order to control my addiction. I haven't gotten caught up on posts and journals I'll try to do that this weekend. I've had some very trying times with my folks the past few weeks.
