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.

Pounds and Pounds of Protein Powder

Calories eaten yesterday: 1389
Fat: 25g (18%)
Carbs: 77g (26%)
Protein: 171g (56%)
Weight this morning: 129
Calories burned in exercise today: 88

Today I went into the City. I walked to the train station. When I checked my mail the property check was there (yay!) so I deposited it. GNC had a sale on protein powder (buy one get one half off) so I stocked up with two 5 lb. containers of chocolate whey protein. When I got back across the bay I couldn't walk the 1 1/2 miles to work with my Pullman backpack plus 10 lbs. of protein powder so I took the bus into work.

I feel tired but hopefully I will feel well enough to hit the gym tomorrow.

Look like no gym next week. I have to work until 3 a.m. on Nov. 3rd and midnight on Nov. 5th. :-p I need the overtime badly.
