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.

Race bib and timing chip are here!

Calories eaten yesterday: 1390
Fat: 27g (18%)
Carbs: 107g (31%)
Protein: 170g (49%)
Weight this morning: 131.6 (One week ago: 132.6)
Calories burned in exercise today: 96

Today I ran errands in the City. Exercise was walking to work from BART. I had a little cash and bought food with it. The money from the property was in my box, so I deposited it and bought more magnesium from GNC and paid my cell phone bill. What little I have left will be used for groceries next week.

My Bay To Breakers packet with my bib and timing chip came today! Yay me! Let's get it on, baby! I bought one bottle of Accelerade today for the race instead of my usual Gatorade, and already have my carb gel packs in a drawer at home, so now that my bib is here, I am ready! I'm number 1037 this year.

I think that FitDay is still overestimating the calories I burn per day, so I tweaked my age up 10 years to lower the amount of calories it says I burn.

Do your best and you will probably cut more time off your low from last year.. =-) Run with the wind. Pizza, Pizza, Pizza. You are so slim now that it will be hard to tell you from the wind. =-D

Of course, it'll be because you are so fast.
