Hello! Long time no see. I mean really, really long. My husband was given order by his doctor to switch to a very low carbohydrate diet and to lose 17 pounds, in the next 3 months. In an effort to support him, and to lose weight myself, I have decided to join him on this weight loss/low carb. challenge.
Yesterday was Mother's Day so starting today seemed like the right thing to do after eating a lot of non-healthy foods with my family. Today is a clean slate, and Day 1 of this new food journey.
This morning I started off with a half an apple, and 1/4 cup of dry roasted peanuts. I find breakfast is the hardest time to go without carbs because everything except for eggs and fruit, is full of carbs. I'm not much of a breakfast eater, I usually grab a granola bar and go, but things have changed now.
For lunch I ate several baby carrots with greek yogurt blue cheese dip, the other half of my apple, and a slim jim. We haven't gone grocery shopping yet so we're a little low on protein options, but I'll fix that this week. Tonight we'll have leftover BBQ ribs and veggies for dinner.
Lunches and Dinners should be pretty easy to go low carb on, it's the weekends, desserts, and breakfasts that will be a challenge for me. Today I weighed in at 146.3. I will weight in normally on Friday mornings, as soon as I wake up.
My beverages will be mostly sparkling water and the occasional diet soda.
For exercise I am briskly walking/jogging three times a week and also doing P90X 3 three to four days a week.
My goal weight is between 125 and 130 pounds. I do not want to be super skinny, but I'd like to be toned, and healthy looking.
My weakness is always dessert and eating out on the weekends.
Day 1 is in progress. I will try and use this blog to help keep me accountable.
