Low Carb Diva

May 24, 2011 - Day 5

Memorial Day is this Monday and I am happy to report that Monday will start my New 30 Day Challenge. This will be my fourth month of clean low carb eating with no cheats! It's funny how turning forty can make you suddenly decide that the time to lose the weight is now, not in five or ten years.

Memorial Day and the Fourth of July are a lowcarbers dream holidays. BBQ, Coleslaw (without sugar), a huge salad with all the fixins, and anything else you can dream up. I don'e even care about the dessert part. Losing weight has been too uch of a challenge for me to even consider giving into the temptation.

I don't want to be fat and frumpy at forty. Instead I choose to be fit, fabulous and forty. I may not get there on my birthday but I will be a lot closer to that goal than if I cheated and ate every cupcake, slice of pizza, etc that call my name. And believe me they sometimes call me at least ten times a day.
