ALL ABOUT THE LAST MONTH!

This photo so much reminds of my journey the last month....... suitcase or bag in the hand LIVING THE LOW CARB LIFESTYLE! Or should I add trying to live it ;)

After a month of no internet in our new home IT'S HERE AT LAST! I have been missing the Low Carb updates and chats about low carb living and eating. I just realize how much I need accountability and others to cheer me on in this journey.

I fell of the wagon real hard a few times. I picked up it seems almost two kilograms..... it's to cry for. It is also a good eye opener so I know loosing the weight is real hard and picking it up again SO EASY!

The last month has been on its head in many ways. There were always food around but we live in a carb world and living a low carb lifestyle is not that easy in the real world especially moving and total chaos in many ways. It is doable but I had to bend many bows to stick to it or gave in and ate a few carb meals.

My sugar cravings had me by the throat and so subtle lured me in bite by bite... a little bit of ice cream, a bite of cream cake, a t of chocolate chips, a few chips a bowl of popcorn......... and it goes from a little bit and then I'm off track.

I tend to shy away getting my family all involved in my Low Carb eating. My husband is very supportive in my journey eating low carb. He always encourages me to keep going and compliments me on how great I look.

BUT very kindly and with such a great spirit he did mention this week that he is seeing me falling back into old habits...... eating carbs etc. It was painful in a way to hear.... I felt like I was being caught and felt disappointed in myself.... He said what he said with such love and he knows the pain of me struggling to loose weight for years and how it would be if I pick it up all again....

TODAY WAS A NEW BEGINNING!

The hardest part is making a COME BACK after a carb creep and falling of the wagon some. It is never too late and no mountain is to high to climb..... IT IS TAKING IT ONE STEP AT A TIME!


ALL ABOUT TODAY:

BREAKFAST was coffee with cream, 2 eggs fried in butter with a sprinkle of cheese.

MIDD MORNING I had another coffee and cream.

LUNCH was 3 cups of chopped lettuce with olive oil, black pepper and a few cubes of cheese, 3 strawberries and one very sour apricot.

SUPPER was out with friends for a birthday celebration. I had one ground meat kebab with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and herbs salad and about 2T of bulgur on the side.

I am trying to get back into drinking my liter and a half of water again. Drinking water is not part of the joy part of my life. It is pure discipline but needed.

It was hard today I was craving chocolate and had to stand strong and say no. Hoping tomorrow will be good news on the scale.
