Low Carb Diva

September 29, 2011 Day 0

So tomorrow starts a new 30 Day Challenge. It will be the start of month 7 of weight loss. Feeling pretty stressed the past couple of weeks with family issues so I think that may be contributing to my stall right now. At least the weight is staying the same though.

It is ironic how you can indulge on low carb and not gain weight but you will not lose weight either. Maintaining is good but I am not quite ready to do that yet. Right now I would be grateful to just see 160 pound by the end of the year.

I think I need to re-motivate myself to get the weight off and not enjoy any low carb extras such as cheesecake right now. So starting right now I am committed to keeping it basic and focus on the weight loss.

Although I am pretty proud of myself because this is the first Fall that I have not fallen off the wagon and pigged out on junk!

Woke up this morning to a two pound whoosh! So now I am at 196 pounds. How awesome is that! Here's to a 2-3 pound weight loss every week. Who can say why maybe it is the resuming of peak 8 for 10 minutes a day. Maybe it is lowering the protein. Maybe it is because there was a full moon last night. One thing is for sure next week I could stall again or I could lose even more weight. A 10 pound woosh would be amazing.

Want to try something delicious to eat with your salads? Try some fresh mozzarella. I a m not talking about the part skim shredded type mozzarella but those balls of cheese that they sell in the deli section of your supermarket. It is pretty pricey but the cheese is so tasty and melts in your mouth like butter.

Trying to get some cleaning and organizing done this weekend. Wish me luck. I always put it off.

No weight loss this week but to put it in perspective I did reach onderland last week so technically I have only been stalled a week. Of course to me it feels like a lifetime.

I have heard that the mind body connection can be a powerful tool. Kinda of like when people have cancer and are told to imagine pac-man like eating all of the cancer cells in their body.

So I had a long talk with my fat today and told it that although it is comfortable taking up residence on my body I have decided that it is time to evict and it can either go quietly or be destroyed by a fat eating pac-man. Will it work? Maybe, maybe not. But it can't hurt.

I know if you get a sunburn you can retain and show a gain on the scale, but I am wondering if the excessive heat can cause your fat cells to hold water and not show any weight loss.

Will try calorie cycling if weight does not budge by Saturday!

Been staying away from the computer with all this heat. But as promised I have my update.


Well I am not happy to report that I am still not in onderland. Maybe by the end of the week. One thing is for sure. The scale has to go down eventually.
