I needed some inspirational reading today! This past weeks grocery list was really cheap, but not so much low carb. One of these days it will click for me. I know I am an addicted to carbs and I know they make me fat. Why can't I seem to give them up?

I know I feel better when following a LC lifestyle, but getting back on it is tough. I don't want to feel the induction flu again, even though I know it only lasts a couple days. I love Coke, I love chips, I love pizza... But are they worth my life? NO! So why can't I stop!?

Why can other people I know eat carbs and lose weight? Especially my bf, he can literally eat anything he wants and not gain weight. Not that it's healthy, he gets bloated too after eating too much crap, but not like I do.

After last weekend and the last couple days I am afraid to step on the scale... I know I have gained. I can feel it in my clothes. I can feel it in my body. I am more sluggish than I have been in like 3 months. I feel bloated and gassy. I am a stinky fart monster and it is embarrassing.

I think it's time to really look at myself and expect a change. How many times can I restart and fail? As many as it takes I guess!

I have all the tools to be successful. I know what I need to eat. I have a home gym. I have time, even though I make a 101 excuses about why I don't. Somethings gotta give!

I only have 3 weeks left of school and then everyday this summer you better see me or hear about my workouts nearly everyday! I have to get it together and stop writing about the fails. It's not over yet... One day I hope to look back at this and be proud of the struggle that I got through.

McDonald's Is a NO-NO!

HELLLO!!!! Seems like forever since I blogged... I have been a busy lady. School, work and some family vacation time has kept me away from blogging. I had an Anatomy & Physiology lab exam on Thursday which I studied my a$$ off for and I still sucked at it! I am still holding on to a B in the class... BARELY! Thank god there is only 4 weeks left. BUT, there is still 2 lecture exams, 1 lab exam & a optional cumulative exam left. So I will be busy studying for the next 4 weeks as well! This weekend was really fun. Went to the Wisconsin Dells with my parents, my sister, brother in-law, niece and of course Randall. Wisconsin Dells, if you have never heard of it is a family adventure wonderland! All year round. They have indoor water parks, outdoor water parks, amusement parks, shopping, restaurants, attractions, a casino and it is always a good time! We left Friday afternoon and returned today. We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge and it was A LOT of fun swimming! I love love love water slides, so I was in heaven! The only thing I feel not so great about is how full and bloated I am! UGH! We ate out everyday for breakfast and dinner. Plus we has a ton of snacks... NONE of them healthy! Which I am paying very dearly for now! And so is Randall, if you catch my drift... PUN INTENDED! LOL! To top off the weekend of course we had to continue the unhealthy eating with a McDonald's Big Mac meal for dinner! BARF!!! I feel like I have just eaten a ticking bomb where any minute I will be combusted into a million stinky pieces. I took some Pepto, so hopefully my tummy will calm down before midnight, so I can get some real sleep for work tomorrow! My goal for the week is to drink as much water as possible and to stay away from carbs! Oh yeah, and workout! I got the Turbo Fire I ordered in the mail on Thursday, so maybe I will try it tomorrow... I will let you know!

April 4th 2011

OK, here it is... My "before" picture that was taken currently! I did not weigh myself today and do not plan to for awhile. Last I weighed in I was at 200 lbs, so we'll stick with that I guess! I plan to take a new picture next month and each month here on out... I want to make this a lifestlye change and stick to low carbing for the rest of my life. Blah Blah Blah! I've never said that before, right?! No but seriously, I can't give up. I know weekends are going to be my biggest downfall, but I can't let that stop me! If nothing else Mon-Fri will be dedicated to eating clean and LC! Have a great week! I need some MAJOR sleep tonight!

April 1st

Good Morning! I am so excited for this month to begin... Hoping for warmer weather very soon! Today is a new start on low carb for me! Like I stated before I will be avoiding bread, pasta, rice, potatoes ad sugary snacks. Once Randall gets home from work tonight I will post a picture of me, so we can see the changes that are in store for me. Today's menu so far has been 4 pieces of bacon and a diet Sundrop. I have a Granny Smith apple I plan on eating soon :).
