A diary of what works for me
Posted in Updates on Jun 4th, 2010
I’ve been “off the wagon” for a week or so but this week I was much, much better. I had gained a few pounds, but I’ve lost those. This morning my weight is 291. It’s encouraging to see the number going in the right direction – down!

This morning my weight is 294 for a total, since I started at 307, of 13 pounds. I’m feeling much better since I’ve been Low-Carbing it again. Luckily I don’t eat too fancy – a hamburger patty and some veggies is a good dinner for me. I did make something this week that I think [...]
I’ve been in the hospital since Monday. I had several small strokes. I feel very blessed and that I experienced a miracle because there is no neurological damage and I’m feeling fine. One thing that I found relatively shocking was that I was placed on the American Diabetic Association diet. The menu we ordered from [...]

I certainly wouldn’t recommend being sick as a way to lose weight, but I have had a bad cold this week and really haven’t have much to eat. But, I was still surprised when I got on the scale and I’m at 297! I’ve broken the 300 mark – yipeeeeee – and I lost three [...]
I have to say I’m surprised I’ve lost anything because I was so off the program, but, I’m at 300, so I did lose another pound this week. I know what my problem is – I don’t have anything here to eat for most meals so I have to get some groceries in here and [...]

Today my weigh-in was 301. A bit disappointing since about mid week I snuck a weigh-in and was at 300. So, I could have lost 2 lb but it’s just one pound. I know what I did – too many carbs. So, I’m doing much better today – had a nice salad for lunch and [...]
This week I’m at 302. Not as good as last week, but at least I’m down another pound. I know I wasn’t as “good” as I was last week about staying away from too many carbs. I was kind of concerned that I might not have lost any or gained. But, one pound is one [...]
I went back and read my previous posts that I’ve made since getting back on my program and realized I hadn’t mentioned my weight. Two weeks ago I was 307. Last Friday I was 305 and today when I weighed myself I’m 303. That’s two pounds a week. Not bad at all. I’d really like [...]
It’s time to do my menu for next week. I’m going to make a few things from George Stella’s new cookbook “Real Food, Real Easy.” I’m going to have to make a trip to Trader Joes and maybe even order a few things off the net if I can’t find the items I’m looking for. [...]

Yes, I’m back again. I decided to give my return to a Low Carb way of eating a week or so before I got back to blogging about it. Needless to say I fell way off the wagon. The “wake up” call to me happened about two weeks ago. I was having terrible muscle spasms [...]
