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: 18 February
My house is back to home! My husband came back today after a three week trip to South Africa! Woooooooo I say no more! I just know I'm not a good single mother. The best is I have my book "The Real Meal Revolution" by Tim Noakes. Wow it is good! I have been reading every moment I find time. The recipes are amazing. I'm just puzzled with the psyllium husks he uses in home made pasta etc. I don't think it is available here.
All I know is that often my mind tries to replace the carbs with protein, where I should be replacing the carbs with low carb vegetables and fat. I still need to get my mind into this. I think I do eat too much protein.
BREAKFAST this morning was early with half a avocado salt and pepper. Coffee and cream. Then at nine my daughter surprised me with another breakfast of two soft boiled eggs, coleslaw, a slice of the peanut butter bread and butter. Coffee and cream.
My husband unpacked his bags late morning and ME got biltong (beef jerky) and droe wors all the way from South Africa..... oh my biggest treat. For a meat eater off course the biggest gift and I digged in all through the morning and afternoon. He also brought me a Brie cheese!
I skipped lunch and had allot of water through the afternoon as the beef jerky were salty.
SUPPER will be a big bowl of lettuce tossed with lemon, olive oil and salt. Chicken strips baked in ketchup, mayonnaise, and a packet of brown onion soup powder. Also steamed broccoli and coleslaw. I am going to scrape the sauce off the chicken strips as it has the soup powder but looking forward to the taste ;)
