Well, it's been so long since I journaled I could hardly find it! I've been feeling great, staying on plan, and trying to get more exercise. I even walked outside with DH yesterday in the bitter cold and wind. I had to wear my parka and still almost froze! Needless to say, it was NOT enjoyable although hubby didn't mind. He walks at least 2 miles a day outside in almost any weather. I wish I had his good habits. I only like to exercise when the weather is nice. Although it's spring, it's been cold and/or rainy (even snow flaky) almost every day in spring so far.
That being said, I am still low carbing and loving it. My body does not want to cooperate insofar as weight loss goes, but I feel I am eating healthier than ever and don't miss the flour and sugar products at all. Eventually, I hope to lose the 50 pounds that I still need to lose. I am SO close to ONEDERland but wonder if somehow I am sabotaging (sp?) myself from reaching it. Only 3 more pounds would do it but I've been hovering at this weight since early January. I guess most people would have given up by now.
I have tried eating more carbs for a week, more fat, etc. and switching things around a bit. I keep my carbs at 20 to 25 a day. You think that would have some effect, but with my lousy metabolism every pound is such a struggle. And the older I get the harder it gets. I know it won't get any easier. But this is a way of life, not a race to lose weight.
I just have to vent now and then to keep me focused. I won't be joining any more challenges for now. It's just too depressing to see how great everyone else does and nothing happens for me.
