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.

Voting Day

Calories eaten yesterday: 1458
Fat: 25g (16%)
Carbs: 151g (44%)
Protein: 134g (39%)
Weight this morning: 135 (One week ago: 135.6)
Calories burned in exercise today: 158

Today was voting day so no gym. However, voting went really fast. I was in and out in about 5 minutes!

I walked over the hill to my polling place and back - about 20 minutes round trip. When I got home I bounced on my rebounder (mini trampoline) for 30 minutes to make up for not going to the gym. Then I left for work and walked from the BART station to work (30 minutes).

Tomorrow my only exercise will be walking the last 1.5 miles to work because it is Ash Wednesday so I'll be in church. I'll get back to the gym on Thursday, and then Friday Brad and I are doing only a short walk because I am giving blood and am always weak after.

Here's a couple photos I took today dealing with voting.

Keep on going. I voted yesterday and the results were interesting. Weight loss, like politics is up and down.
Results, however are never certain or permanent. The only thing that totally tacitly is certain, is uncertainty. =-)
