I have started The Low Carb diet on October 25, 2018 I would like to start writing about the experience I have had so far The Good, Bad, and Ugly. I kept a hand written Journal for the first 2 weeks to keep me on track. Well I decided that blogging about it will keep me on track as well. So here is a few of my written post from the first Week for Low Carb.
Day 1: Thursday 10/25/2018 – Weight 246 lbs – Goal Weight by 7/28/2019 175lbs – Next week Goal weight 239
I woke up really tired today, Luke is out of town and I never sleep well when he is gone. For my diet I decided to not stress too much. I just want to start small so I decided to start with No Bread, No Cereal, the obvious carbs. I am not going to worry about the carbs listed on the label not ready for that stress. I didn’t notice any changes tonight I wanted something crunchy so I need to get something like Pork Rinds.
Day 2: Friday 10/26/2018
Today I woke up super tired again…Ugg I hate when Luke is out of town. As the day progressed I TMI got diarrhea, and a little dizzy/woozy. I haven’t felt really hungry but ate thinking it would help me from snacking later. Luke came home tonight and we decided to stop for fast food. I was so tempted to say screw it and start again tomorrow. I was not feeling very good but I am proud of myself I ordered a Grilled Chicken Salad.
Day 3: Saturday 10/27/2018- Maybe I should plan in the future
Today was super hard to stick to a diet. We had plans to go to the store and get more Low Carb option at the house and to snack on but Brian had an unexpected invite for a sleep over. We took Jackson to the Pumpkin Patch and after Jackson went to my nieces, so Luke and I had an unexpected date night. We went to the movies got Popcorn, and ate a Gangus Grill. Although I thought about my diet most of the day I didn’t plan ahead and was not worrying about what I was eating I just wanted food.
Day 4: Sunday 10/28/2018
Today we finally did the grocery shopping. We did stop at subway but Luke and I both ordered a salad. I am thankful Luke is going to be doing this diet with me. I was pondering today a reason to do this diet mostly walking by cookies at the store was making me want to make the wrong choice so I was finding a way to make the right choice (My reason to stick to this diet). I decided that I can’t wait to feel comfortable in my body. I know my husband loves me and has never complained about the way I look but I feel so unattractive. I hope that through this change I will have better self reflection.
Day 5: Monday 10/29/2018- Measurement day
Bust: 44 1/2, Chest: 40, Waist 43 1/2, hips: 44 1/2, thighs: 28, Arm: 17
Today I woke up wanting to go back to sleep. I slept an extra hour relaxed until 1 and then got an energy boost. I made Jalapeno Poppers, I then got the boys from school, worked on homework with them, organized there bedroom. At 5 o’clock I went to work at my sisters office and worked for 3 hours. I felt so productive today I normally don’t have energy at all to it was such a great day.
Day 6: Tuesday 10/30/2018
Today I had a Women Doctors Appointment (sorry TMI but is necessary for the way I was feeling). I had really bad cramping and didn’t want to do much. Most of my day was Low Carb but I gave in to a sweet treat. I don’t feel super guilty because all of my meals where low carb when I wanted to eat a Large size pizza from Dominos. I also drank a lot of water today.
Day 7: Wednesday 10/31/2018- Halloween
I feel really good today. It is Halloween and I ate correctly but I felt bad after my sister brought dinner. She work so had to feed a lot of people and I couldn’t eat it if I wanted to stick to my diet. She made spagetti and butter noodles. It is not her responsibility to know what I am able to eat but I thought she might of had her feeling hurt. My kids ate a lot for all of us though. We decided to try Carl’s Jr Protein style it was good I felt like I was missing something. I didn’t want the fries but I felt like I was missing the fries if that makes since. I decided to snack on string cheese to help. I had such a great time with the family and the kids had a blast.
That is my first week of Low Carb I have been doing Low Carb for 1 Month and 25 days as of today. I did slip up today and I am already feeling like crud. To be honest I was lazy and we ordered Pizza. I have been making a Low Carb Pizza for the last few weeks Fat Head Dough. I can tell you after eating that, Dominos Pizza was not very flavorful. I regret eating it not because I broke my diet but because I didn’t even enjoy it. It is a friendly reminder that the more I learn about low carb and different recipes the better I feel and the better I eat.
I will keep you posted on how I feel and any changes but as of right now it has kind of become a life style.
As of today 12/17/2018- Weight 232 lbs – beginning weight 246= total loss at this time 14 lbs lost
