I started my low carb journey for the final time.

I have lost 52. 2 pounds. It has been flucuating up and down for the last few months.

I could've (would've, should've) done a lot better IF I had incorporated some sort of REGULAR exercise. I didn't. In fact, I did very little exercise at all. So, I think 52 pounds without exercise isn't bad at all and I should feel proud of myself.

This next year will be a good one also. I will lose more weight and I will focus on moving my body, clearing my mind and destressing. It's going to be great!...

I have to find other ways to express myself and deal with my frustrations besides taking it out on my small children, 9 and 6 yo.

This Friday is my 1 year low carb anniversary. I'm proud of how far I've come, but disappointed too when I think of how much...

Hmmm, where have the days gone??

I seem to have slacked off a bit and gotten sloppy with my eating. Not necessarily illegal foods, but quantities are sometimes out of control. Been on a nut kick lately --- waaay too much! Also been *eating* sugar free gum too. I've always eaten my gum, but have been shovelling it in piece after piece. I have to find something else to do/eat besides peanuts and gum. By the way, this compulsion only seems to be at work. At home I'm not nearly as bad.

Good news is that this week I've started walking on my afternoon breaks. My friend and...
