I'm down 6 pounds since Tuesday. I've done the low carb thing before and I gained the weight right back! I think that counting the calories is going to be a much better way to lose the weight. I don't feel so deprived. I'm having oatmeal for breakfast. Maybe I'll lower my cholesterol in the process.
An excerpt from a book I read today. "Easier Than You Think" by Richard Carlson, Ph.D. "I woke up early today excited about all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. My job is to choose what kind of day I'm going to have. I can complain because the weather is rainy, or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free." "Today I feel sad that I don't have more money, or be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchase wisely and to guide me away from waste. Today I can grumble about me health, or I can rejoice that I am alive. Today I can lament over all my parents didn't give me whan I was a chlild, or I can be grateful that they allowed me to be born." "Today I can cry because roses have thorns, or I can celebrate that thorns have roses. Today I can whine because I have a job, or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do. Today I can complain because I have to go to school, or I can eagerly open my mind and fill it with new tidbits of knowledge. Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework, or I can feel honored because the lord has provided shelter for my mind, body, and soul. Today stretches ahead of me waiting to be shaped, and here I am the sculpter who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have. So have a great day -- unless you have other plans" What a great way to look at things. My favorite is to celebrate that thorns have roses!
I find myself with the hopes of losing weight once again. I lost 50 pounds and gained it right back as soon as I started eating "normal" again. I'm going to do it the right way this time. I have been counting calories 1200 a day and have been walking on the treadmill for 20 minutes per day. There's no place that far!
