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.

I gained 4 pounds last week and lost only two this week. My body hates me. And the only reason I lost is because I had dinner early last night and drank a bunch of water before bed so the alcohol I drank wouldn't dehydrate me and cause my body to hold onto more water.

Friday after Brad got off we went to Costco for salad and Safeway for other groceries. We went to his Safeway but they didn't have half of what I wanted and little Brad wanted, so we went to my Safeway after that to get the rest.

Saturday after church we took a walk around the Point Isabel area and found this cool sculpture garden. It used to be much better, but is now run down with just a few metal sculptures still standing at the water's edge. I took pictures but don't have them edited and uploaded yet.

After our walk we went to Costco so I could get their chocolate frozen yogurt. Then we drove to Applebee's. I had two Mochatinis and Brad had a bottle of Sam Adams.

When we arrived home we relaxed for a while and then walked up to Little Caesar's for their $5 pizza deal. We got home and scarfed that down, then relaxed some more and ended up going to bed early.

I was too tired to get up when my alarm went off so I decided not to hike today and sleep in. I've just been so tired lately. While relaxing with coffee and getting ready for work the new neighbor two apartments down came over to introduce herself. Her name is Julia and we had a nice chat.

After this Brad drove me to work and he headed back to our apartment to do his laundry.

Tomorrow I hope to go to the gym but I have been so tired lately that I don't know if I'll make it. I want to because I didn't make it to the gym at all last week, but I have been so exhausted. :(
