The skin I am in- with it's imperfections evidence of life and the years gone by. The skin I am in- radiant and beautiful from my chin to my shin. The skin I am in- tells the story why God chose me for my skin.
Good Day Blogging Friends.
It's hard to believe this is my fourth week of my diet. It doesn't seem that long. I hope that it's a good sign meaning I can do this no matter how long... as long as I attain my goals.
Good news!! I stepped on the scale this morning and to my surprise I lost 5 lbs! I can't tell you how happy this made me considering the 2 lb gain last week. This week I started the Kimkin's plan and cut way down on carbs. I suppose alot has to do with the low carbs. I am hoping and praying with good effort on my part, I can finally make into the 200's. That would be awesome for me and give me more motivation to stick to it.
I gotta get to work now but I want to thank you for your much appreciated support and wish you all a Happy Easter!!

Way too go!
4 Weeks is great.
You know what they say that it takes 21 days to start a habit. Looks like you are accomplishing your goals. That is the way to go!
I know that Low Carb is great. I am going to try to get on that again. It helps to cut out some of those processed foods. How is that Kimkins diet working for you???
MzGloria, thank you for your post to me. I am glad you are doing Kimkins. I did not follow any one regime, but I can tell you that any carb with processed flour was my callout. Cereal grain bars, croutons, any form of bread, etc. I also eliminated grains, like rice, and any other white vegi, like potatoes and stayed away from carrots, a they have more sugar carbs than any other vegi. eat green. eat natural brown, eat red, avoid too much citrus unless sour. i ate ONE hershey bar every day, with almonds, as my treat. sometimes, i ate it over a day, sometimes in about 10 seconds..lol. but that I allowed myself. water water water, but not at the expense of other beverages, in addition to. if you drink a glass of wine, drink 3 glasses of water at the same time....etc.... make up your own rules, that encourage th egae to work.
I guess I am a bit of an Odd one out here.. because it has taken me 44 years to learn that dieting.. is not the problem... I have done every program out there.. and lost great amounts of weight.. but I never mastered the true Key and the silly little key is.. We control what goes in our mouths.. no one else does.. I am on the Mayo Clinic Healhty Weight for Everybody... I am not saying its the end all be all program.. I just say it works for me.. I calorie count 1200 is my goal . I follow a food pyramid.. all the fruit and veggies I want... limits on protien, carbs, fats and sweets and dairy... Very simple.. easy to follow.. I attend weekly classes and see a nutritionist. I have lost 17.25 pounds since Jan 22. This is real loss because it will not come back. I am finally learning what works for ME... Eating whole.. eating healthy and feeling good. Its a slow process .. a hard one.. but so worthwhile.. I think your blog is terrific.. and you will overcome whatever obstacles are out there for you... So you gained Look at what you have done so far.. Much luck..
I assure you that I am just as happy to have you as a friend you are so sweet ! No I will not let anyone deter me from my goal I am closer to God now than I have ever been & I am totally putting my trust in him & that way I will never be disappointed no matter what I face because God is the best friend I ever had but under him is my family & the true friends that I have made while I have been on this site !
