Confessions of a Carbohydrate Addict

Eating healthy since 3/29/04!

This blog is my struggle against carbohydrate addiction and to stay in my size 8 jeans. It is my struggle with thyroid disease, which slows my metabolism to a crawl. This blog is also about God & my struggle to move toward Christian maturity (I am far from perfect!). Finally, you'll find gratuitous cat pictures.

I lost 65 pounds on Atkins by watching my calories and carbs. I'm a raging carbohydrate addict trying not to go face first in the donuts and stay in my size 8 jeans. After gaining 17 back I started a low-fat, moderate-carb, high-protein diet. I have two fuzzy children - a grey tabby cat (Xena) and an orange tabby cat (Abby), both spayed females. Besides weight loss and health, my other passion is religion. I'm an ex-Witch, but have been a Christian since 1996, joining the Seventh Day Baptist church in 1999. I'm politically moderate, but conservative faith-wise. I believe in headcovering (1 Cor. 11). I'm truly pro-life, which means I am also against the death penalty.

Merry Christmas all! Hope everyone had a good one! Photos forthcoming. In Project 365 Christmas Day begins week 6 for me. The theme for week 6 is "Love." Check out my contribution and this person's photo that gave me the inspiration.

I worked until 3 a.m. last night, got to bed sometimes between 4 and 4:30 a.m. and slept until 11 a.m. so I could have a leisurely breakfast, open presents, and still get to work by 3 p.m.

Brad and I had tri tip beef, green beans, whole wheat low-carb bread, egg nog, and Perrier. Atkins chocolate coconut candy bars for dessert. The egg nog was this organic kind Brad got at the health food store. It had the same calories as the "Light" egg nog they had, but the "Light" had 23g of sugar, and the organic, while it had more fat, only had 13g of sugar. Same calories and less sugar. Yep, that was a no-brainer.

Today I listed my old digital camera on eBay. The listing will be up for 10 days, so check out my auction! If you are looking for a cheap point and shoot digital camera consider buying from me. :)

I have never heard of Seventh Day Baptist Church. It can not be like the Seventh Day Adventist or Baptist we have around here. Both of those groups are Prohibitionist. It looks as if you are holding a bottle of wine. My knowledge of wine is very limited. I know way more about craft beer. We did have some excellent German Riesling for Christmas.
