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.

Took yesterday off as a sick day. I didn't feel sick per se, but didn't feel well either. I mostly just felt tired and did plenty of sleeping. I got up shortly after Brad left at 8 a.m. and walked up to Safeway. I bought chicken breast and cooked it when I got home, then took a nap for a few hours. I went to bed fairly early last night though I woke up at 2 or 3 a.m. and ate a bunch of cottage cheese that I'd put in my food journal for the day but hadn't eaten yet.

Today I slept in, did about 40 minutes of walking, then took the bus the rest of the way into work. Tomorrow I can't sleep in because it's laundry day.
