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.

Bay To Breakers runner's numberHere's my runner's number and timing chip for this year's Bay To Breakers. It's just a week and a half away! I never feel ready, but I'm as ready as I'll ever be! Click the photo for the full size. :)

Went to the gym today. My butt is still sore from Monday, but today was upper body anyway - arms, shoulders, and back. Then I ran 30 minutes on the treadmill - 2.9 miles. I walked to work from BART. Pretty standard day. I felt stronger today than usual, though I performed poorly on a few exercises such as the seated row and another back exercise.

Tonight is laundry and I'll try to sleep in tomorrow.

More overtime is coming this Sunday. I'm working 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. as Lisa is taking the night off and there's no one to fill in. Brad will come in at 3 and drive me home and work until 3 p.m. when I come in again.

I ran with the lighter knee brace on today and it seemed to be okay. I'll wear this one for the race.

Have an appointment to look at an apartment Friday at 7:30 pm, and possibly another one after that. The first one does not look promising - no late night bus service, but the second has potential, and if the apartment gets taken, a second is opening up in the same building.
