Have had a horrible week and a bad weekend.

Food-wise, the week went fine until yesterday. But I started to have headaches every day, waking up with one, taking over-the-counter pills which made it go away for a while, then having the headache reappear in the evening and not going away which of course made it hard to fall asleep. I didn't make things any better by taking one drug after another (a nice little cocktail of Excedrine extra strength, feverfew, and Excedrine migraine - needless to say, I will not be going for that awful combination again!)

This was every...

Weighed and measured this morning and here are the results

Weight: 138 (down 1.5 pounds)
Measurements: down .5 inches all around

I'm very happy with these results. I'm definitely in no hurry to lose weight, as long as I'm able to stay away from the junk food binges, make better choices, and put my mind and body in a mindset that will get me to think about other things in my life besides food.

I feel positive today because I found an online university that is offering part-time work along the same lines as what I'm doing now. I sent a resume so...

I weigh and measure myself tomorrow. My size 6 jeans are fitting like they should now, so I know I'm doing well in that department, at least.

Had another weekend-long headache, which is not making me happy. Right now it's in the background but under control. I'm just wary of taking over-the-counter medication for it because it doesn't seem to help at all and just makes me feel so "out of it".

Went shopping this morning (food shopping). I've noticed that my shopping bill isn't any higher (in fact it's a bit lower) as a lowcarber, despite the fact that I'm...

I've been doing fine this week even though didn't have a chance to post but today I'm fighting junk food cravings for the first time in two weeks since I started LCing again. Not sure why this is. I think a combination of things. I'm having some job stress (I got some good news this week that I made it through the internship of the online university I've been working with since Jan and assigned a few more classes to teach - but they'll be at the end of June, so that means 3 whole months without income). I also developed a migraine yesterday and did the usual round of over-the-counter pills and...

I'm still doing well with the veggie low carb, even though I haven't posted for a few days. I had two days of weird eating, not feeling like eating much at all, especially at night, feeling a bit down and depressed and uncertain. However, yesterday my appetite and mood returned (not in a bad way at all - I'm not ravenous or eating everything in sight or irritable) and today I feel much more myself. Part of it is also that TOM has ended.

Yesterday's menu:
1 egg + 1 egg white sauted in butter with mushrooms and a dash of crushed tomatoes
1 cup plain yogurt with xylitol,...
