311 Pounds

Wow its been a long time dear blog since I have been here but I think it will help me.

I am no longer low carbing , I am trying to eat "balanced" and as smart as I can. And I'm trying to change my view on food.

I've realized recently that I DO like food. And I do find "Enjoyment" from food, its a means of happiness and there is nothing wrong with that but ...

Food is for nutrition ! We are supposed to eat for energy not for enjoyment.

And at the same time this does not mean .. NEVER ENJOY food .. there is a time and place for enjoying food , just like there is a time and place for drinking alcohol

So right now I'm just starting out, weighed myself at 311 Lbs this morning, and am starting a new journey unlike I've ever tried before

Wish me luck !

Hangin in there keeping things as low as possible

I am "OFF SCALE" till next week and the "good scale" in the office is gone.

So now I need to buy a new scale, ... and I'm broke .. ahh but not giving up.

Day 3

Day 3 and still clean in terms of carb count daily so that's good.

Right now I'm looking for a house to buy so that's pretty darn stressful.

We might get a house with a pool. (I hope)

So we will see hopefully we can get an offer on it today.

Other than that nothing new :)

Day 2 - two week Moratorium on Scale Checking

So I've decided to challenge myself not only to stay "on plan" but to not use a scale for two weeks

The reason is because I've noticed if I'm doing "GOOD" I actually use that to rationalize that I can eat a little more carbs.

I'm going to wait till the 26th to hit the scale again

Also going to challenge myself and go to the DAMN GYM !!!!

At least 6 days between now and then

So here we go Day 1 (again) I'm not gonna give up

Day 50

Wow 50 days in already

OK lets talk about Acanthosis Nigricans again

It's a type 2 pre-diabetes and full diabetes symptom very common in darker skinned people. I have had it for several years and the unhealthier I am and the higher my insulin levels the worst it gets.

Now 50 days into Atkin it's about 95% clear. If I can stay on plan it should be 100% clear by end of summer.
