Well. Here I am again. Back at the start of a diet that will turn into a WOL for me after I reach my goal weight. How did I get here again I ask myself. The answer to that, unlike so many other questions, is easy. I ate too much of the wrong kinds of food, for too long, without enough physical activity. Now I have no one to blame but myself.

I have done Atkins before. I lost about 30lbs. and maintained that for a little over a year until I became pregnant with my second child (my first was 17 yrs old)

February 2006 (2nd pregnancy began) - January 26, 2009(birth of...

My mood has picked up some. Who knows why. Certainly not me. I spent a lot of time reading other people's entries on the main bulletin. I got some feedback too on my entries. I think that helped some. I also took a long nap, which I'm not sure is helpful or not. My dreams have been vivid and disturbing. Trying to hash out unresolved things in my sleep. Well, I thought they were resolved. Whoever conducts the content of my dreams must think differently.

I actually got a couple of things accomplished today, which is always a mood lifter. I wanted to ride my bike also...

I have been thinking, too much as always. It has always been my goal to establish a daily spiritual practice. When I was studing with T. Thorn Coyle, we sat for 20 miutes a day. I counted breaths, and I used to know how many sets of 10 would get me to 20 minutes.
I like the regularity and the stability, kind of low carb eating. you know what you will be doing, you know the next thing. Sometimes God talks to you to relieve the monotony.
God talking to me usuly sounds like a really sane calm voice in my head, the illuminated thought, so rational, different from the random others....

I think they skimped a bit more than they should have on the book plot, and they added some scenes that weren't in the book, but those were well done.
I especially like some of the facial expressions Ron Weasly gets, too amusing!
We also learn that Dumbledore is a knitter! I don't remember if that was in the book or not, but I especially like that.

SO I got back from visiting with the in-laws, with only painful boredom to show for it. We went to Golden Corral for dinner, so managed to be reasonably good. Had 4 cubes of jello and some whippedcream, instead of...

Okay I am back again after hiatus. I have tried the EC regiment by Tosca and still I am at 205. I think I was trying her very regimented program and then I would rebel and have a binge. Well no more. I know LC works for me. I lost 75 pounds doing it and was down to 165. Alas, two years later I have put on 40 pounds. I feel more comfortable at 170. So my goal is 30 pounds before my 40th bday in November. I am going to get back in the gym and train three days a week as well. I am also going to quit smoking. I can't do it anymore. I had quit for 12 years back 7 years ago and then one wild weekend...
