Traveling for Work

Last week I was sent to LA with a work counterpart of mine. I spent almost six days on my butt working on computers. The bad part was that work was paying for meals so guess what?? I ate!

Continental breakfast in hotel = nothing healthy

Then out to lunch and dinner everyday and I ate well. PFChangs, Chili's, McCormick and Schmick (upscale seafood), Macaroni Grill, and the like. Appetizers, drinks and dessert as well. NO self control.

Therefore on Saturday morning when I woke went on a no-carb diet. I plan to try it for 6 weeks only. WW lets me eat too much food and the Atkins style has worked before but does get hard to live with.

With WW I was obsessed with food, what was I going to eat, weighing and measuring it, what are my points etc.

With this I eat meat and veggies and down plenty of water. Bad time to try it at the holidays but what I want to give myself for Christmas is to break that 200lb mark. I really don't care about much else for Christmas, for myself anyway.

So here I go...ate at Fuddrucker's last night and just a burger with cheese and plenty of lettuce to wrap it in. And mayo! It was sooo good I didn't miss the bun.

 

The old cliche - Today is the first day of the rest of your life

Thought I would take the time and have a record for all to see of my weight loss struggle.

currently I am a member of WeightWatchers and have lost 14.6 lbs with them getting me to my current weight of 206.2. So I thought I would start this for more of a visual record.

Actually I started losing weight over 2 years ago when I reached 262 pounds! I lost 40lbs pretty fast with locarb diet and exercise. Then hit the almight plateau that lasted about a year. So I gave up. Luckily I didn't gain anything.

Then I met Eric through eHarmony. Hokey as that sounds that stuff works. We hit it off but we both want me to lose the rest of my weight for health reasons and my own self-confidence. He and I have grown to love each other since we met and I want him to be proud of me. He tells me I am beautiful now and I will be more beautiful and healthy when I get into shape.

Plus he has a streetbike and I want to look hot as we go riding!! woohoo!
