I've been back on the low carb train for about 4 days and already have dropped 4.2 pounds. Today I'm 138.4 and I'm skinny!!! But I laugh at what I think is skinny. When I went to the hospital to give birth to my first born, I weighed 138 lbs. When I got pregnant with her I was about 122 and thought I was fat then - geez - perspective is so weird.
My calories I'm keeping under 1000, my carbs under 20 net. It's a bit hard, and I'm a bit hungry, but drinking green tea during the day helps. I hope to just get this last 13 lbs off of my quickly so I can be out of the weight loss mode and settle into a regular diet. Find other things to occupy my life and mind instead of the scale.
I'm not sure if I'll ever be free of it but I know I never want to be fat again. I never want to feel that way again. Chronic heartburn, couldn't tie my shoes, hated how I looked. I was tired all of the time, extremely emotional, and pre-diabetic. No thanks.
I must remember how that felt. I can't forget it.
I'm hoping to maintain 120-125 lbs, whatever gives me a flatter tummy. Working out 4-5 days a week. I want to keep up with the spin as much as I hate it it's great cardio for me and not as boring as the treadmill. I'd like to do yoga 3 times a week. Keep up walking, go hiking once in a while.
Ultimately I want to help others lose the weight, keep it off and change their lives.
Lord help me keep my eyes on you and live a life pleasing to you.
Thank you,
