Days 3 & 4

Days 3 & 4 (October 24 & 25, 2007)

Yesterday came and went without too many struggles. I am discovering that one of the reasons I cheat is ‘convenience’. I work an eight hour day and have a 3 hour commute which can become tiresome. When I am to the point of exhaustion, the last thing I want to do is cook. In fact, what I want is a quick, but tasty and filling meal. Unfortunately, when it comes to low carb there are not a lot of quick fix meals, at least not that I have found.

I haven’t exercised today, but may tonight if my daughter doesn’t get too fussy. I did however have a nice weight and aerobic workout yesterday, which was the first time I worked out since Sunday. Hopefully I will have the energy and time to workout tonight because I still feel sluggish and believe a great workout will make me feel a hundred times better, plus it will help me lose weight quicker…won’t it?

As previously mentioned I went from 143.5 to 147 thanks to cheating, but today I was back down to 145.3. I am hoping that by Monday I will be down to 142, but will be happy just to be 143.5 again. My current goal is to weight 136 by Thanksgiving and 125 (my pre-baby weight) by Christmas. I know that I am starting to develop muscle which ways more than fat, but still believe I will be able to reach my goal as long as I stay focused and have support from my low carb friends.
