Rebecca's World...

I am out of control!!! At least I feel that way... I went from 221 to 148 prior to getting pregnant with my third child, Anna, she is almost 5 months and now I am weighing in at 184 and I'm out of control! I need to get back on track with low carbing and get some of this weight off. I just feel miserable, not because I'm fat, well, that is making me feel bad but it's really physical. I can't stand carrying this extra weight around. Hopefully blogging here will help be with some accountability. I started eating better today but by 6pm I had a pounding headache so I gave in and ate some eggo waffles! I just have to start out slower... Tomorrow is another day! I'm going to have to go with one meal every 2 or 3 days. Converting one meal to low-carb. I just don't think I'm capable of doing it any other way at this time. Will write more tomorrow!

Okay, I feel alright... trying to control some crazy cravings. I know this only lasts a couple days and then I will be in complete control. Thanks for the support!

Here's what I've eaten so far today...
M1: Coffee with sugar free coffee mate
2 hard boiled eggs, 2 small sausage patties
M2: 10 shrimp w/ 2tbsp cocktail sauce
M3: 6 ounces tuna mixed with 1T mayo and 1t horseradish wrapped up in a large lettuce leaf.

Plan for the rest of the day:
M4: 2 slices cheese
M5: two diced chicken thighs sauteed with 2 cups brocolli in some olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

I was going to go walking, however, I don't want to take on too much too soon. I really need to focus on my eating and get these cravings under control. So this week I'm just focusing on food. Next week I will add in walking 3x.

Your menu looks yummy!

A lot of people really feel crummy the first few days of low carb and it might give you a bad taste for the exercise to try to force it if you are not feeling up to it yet.

On the other hand, if you feel great a walk might be fun! Definitely listen to what your body is trying to tell you

Actually, I feel pretty good today - I'm down 4 lbs of water weight, feeling a little lighter and not too achy so I may just venture out with the baby for a walk this evening after dinner. The only prob I'm having is I'm NOT hungry and I know I need to eat, I had to basically choke down some hard boiled eggs this morning, and a cup of coffee... I'm heading in to make lunch but I'm not feeling it whatsoever. I'm going to eat some salad with grilled chicken, a hard boilded egg tossed in, some shredded cheese, and some low carb dressing.

I'm really feelin good, thanks everyone for checking in on me!
