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.

So tired...

So tired today. I think maybe the let down from my Armour dosage is hitting me again. I had no strength at the gym and didn't even attempt weight training. Still, I didn't drag myself there for nothing so I did an hour on one of the new the ellipticals. Took the train to my stop and walked into work from the station for another 30 minutes.

I didn't take an official weight this morning, but I did peek at the scale. I've gained a few pounds from my binging last week, but it could be worse.

It's getting cold. I think it's time to pull the blanket off the bed and get the comforter out. I'm freezing and the heater is on whenever I am home.

Tomorrow is laundry and then Friday I'm going to attempt a healthier version of a rum cake recipe I have. I just hope it doesn't stick to the bundt pan! I'm going to attempt it with half 100% whole wheat flour and half wheat gluten, subbing whole eggs with egg whites, sugar with Splenda, and butter with applesauce. I will use coconut oil for the glaze though.
