I have been on a diet journey since my midd twenties, but as I entered my forties the scale climbed me steady up to 89 kilogram and I knew I had to loose weight! After I discovered recently that I was becoming insulin resistant I had a new urgency in my life to loose weight. Not just to loose it but find a lifestyle of loosing it. I decided to go by the way of LOW CARB EATING. This blog is about my journey..... the good and the bad.....

ALL ABOUT TODAY: 8 January
It can only be a great day when I'm down on the scale to 71.3!!!! I have lost 2.2kg this week!!!!! It feels great on the one side and then on the other I am wondering when it will come to a plato or halt.... again. I am looking forward to get to my lowest point of 69.8 again and then heading out to my goal of 65kg. While it's going I'm going with! I'm so motivated a cheat is not even an option...... The price is to high to pay.
BREAKFAST this morning was half an avocado chopped into an omelette with tomato and mayonnaise. Coffee and cream. It kept me full all morning.
LUNCH was a great quich idea I found on a low carb page recently. I used 10 medium to small size eggs, 1 cup of milk, 2 cups raw chopped broccoli, 1 cup salami, chorizo or spicy sausage chopped and one cup grated cheese. I just layered this in a oven proof dish and baked it in the oven. Even my picky eaters had seconds. Way to go LOW CARB MOM! ;) I made a side salad with tomato and cucumber and had about half a cup of this too.
Midd afternoon I had 1T of coconut oil and home made peanut butter and another coffee and cream to pick me up.
SUPPER was a tin of tuna mixed with a touch of mayonnaise, chopped gherkins and wrapped in lettuce leafs.
This is a short clip on Low Carb eating that meant so much to me. This man is highly respected in the sport community all over the world. I was touched by his humility and openness on low carb eating and how it changed his life.

My husband really likes this man and was stirred by this clip to see how he can change his own lifestyle and move into more healthy eating habits himself. He does not need to loose weight but I'm thinking of our kids eating a high carb sugar diet and him struggling with reflux.
Todays lunch was a real low carb lunch and the kids and my husband loved it. We will take it slowly but trust that good changes will come out of this.
