Low Carb Diva

November 23, 2011 Day 8

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

I will be eating: Turkey, Homemade Cranberries, Green Bean Casserole, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Sweet Potato, and jalapeno poppers. Yum, Yum, Yum.

Will I cheat? Maybe. But I will get right back on plan on Friday November 25th and start really trying to get at least 10 pounds off by the end of the year.

November 17, 2011 Day 14

Well I'm back. It's been 16 days and yes I am still alive and kicking. The holidays are always the worst time of the year. I always feel like there should be some feeling of warmth and good tidings that I should be expressing and yet every year I fail. Miserably.

Each year I try and recreate those Christmas memories by eating a bunch of crap and then kicking myself January 1st for gaining back a bunch of weight. But not this year.

The holidays can take a hike. If I could I would hibernate from now until January 2nd.

Business is slow, the economy sucks and every time I turn around there is candy, cake, and cookies taunting me with there carby goodness.

So I have been working alongside my husband to get sales and generate revenue for Christmas and meanwhile I just want to say screw the holidays. But we need the Christmas sales to get through and pay bills.

So back to work I go. I will post when the mood strikes but don't count on it that often. I am declaring myself the Christmas Grinch this year.

November 1, 2011 Day 30

Today starts a new 30 day challenge.

Put down that fun size candy bar. Throw out the candy corn and get started losing weight. Take 30 days for yourself to start a new way of eating.

If you slip up just get back on with the next meal. Perfection is the nail in the coffin for a dieter. Learning to eat great at least 80-90% of the time and giving myself permission to be human is a tool that I am starting to try and learn.

My goal is to lose 20 pounds. Not in a month but at least by the end of the year.

What is your goal?
