Or 4th of July picinic? It is raining here in NW Arkansas and I feel bad for everyone who is trying to celebrate outside. I'm not sure if I mentioned it here before or not, but I am a Canadian living in the US so, strictly speaking, this ain't my holiday! Still, I know how important it is for many Americans so I feel sorry for the rain. You guys take so few holidays as it is (compared to us vacation lovin' Canucks) that it must be a real bummer when the weather doesn't cooperate. Oh well....hopefully it will clear up in time for fireworks.

Time for a LC WOE update....

After several weeks of pumping it up and treading it out, I went through some of my nice summer shirts which I bought last year and are a 3X as opposed to the 4X which have up until now, fit me best.

I bought these last summer and left the tags on them just in case. Well they are now fitting me and I have some more shirts to take with me to Tennessee in 2 weeks for which I am elated.

Again, I have taken the approach over the month of June to focus on strength training and treadmill or any other aerobic exercise, rather than fester and fume and obsess over what I am eating and I gotta' say that this has worked for me very well.

I have noticed my tummy getting flatter, my body getting toned and yes I have not gone overboard with eating what I shouldn't.

Last night I almost bought a chocolate bar and realized that I didn't want it and put it back because why bother when I can say 'no'.

No exerting self-control either but just because I am feeling better where I'm going so why ruin it with a quick chocolate fix?

Hope your plan is working for you!

I've been doing really good on my very first low-carb diet... but yesterday I broke down and had an atkins bar ~ I think that brought my total carb count for the day over 20. I really hope that it didn't mess up what I've started!

Also yesterday I was having weird cramping in my arms and legs and I don't know if that is normal ~ I guess I should ask on the message boards
And today I woke up feeling a little weak in the muscles... hmmm ~ don't like that feeling.
It's also been really hot here and we don't have air conditioning and I get a little swollen in the...
