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.

Redwood ParkHere's a photo from Sunday's hike with Brad in Redwood Park. Click the photo for a larger size.

It's pouring rain today - the first big storm of our wet season. The first storm always happens within two weeks of Halloween so it's pretty much on time. Anyway, today was my day to walk part of the way to work for exercise and to save on bus fare, but due to the rain I had to take the bus. I took the long way in so that I just paid the $2.25 bus fare and no train fare. I wore my waterproof hiking boots to keep my feet dry. Tennis shoes wouldn't help; the rain is too heavy.

Tomorrow I hope to get back to the gym.
