Horrible Start

So much for my commitment to myself to blog twice weekly.  I’m already behind!  01eggs.533span

I’ve had the worst start to low-carbing.  I’m embarrassed to admit it.  I have had days that started out great, and made it all the way though dinner only to find myself shoving dark chocolate in my mouth and ruining my best efforts!  I’ve had days that I couldn’t even get past breakfast without carbs, and the day going from bad to worse.  My weight is stagnant, for which I should be grateful.  I’m not gaining at least.

I don’t know what my problem is.  I’ve done this before.  I’m certainly off the sugar-high of the holidays.  But I find myself with one foot in each canoe – and that’s a recipe for disaster!  Add a stress component – this week it was a foot of snow, the full septic, and the blow-out of the pump in my washing machine.  These do not help me focus.

Note to self – this is a lifestyle and not a diet.  Quit beating yourself up and do the best you can (which is better than last week!!) and keep moving forward.
