I'm going to try and make it through this blog post with limited typos and grammatical errors but I'm on a different computer that is giving me grief!
Anyway...It's been one week that I have been doing the low carb life and I just need to check in. I feel pretty good, pretty dang good actually. I have lost 5lbs and my blood sugars are way down. I'm also having no issues, in the past when I have cut carbs drastically sometimes it just seems like such a struggle for the first few weeks, getting used to it all...but thankfully not this time! I am very happy about that! I didn't have any nasty withdrawal headaches and I really don't have an appetite, so my calories have significantly decreased as well. The other night I was having dinner with family and they were all about to have a bunch of carb laden foods and honestly I could feel how soft it would be to sink my teeth into a big bun but I ate some olives, celery and cherry tomatoes with a little blue cheese and I was good to go!
One of my favorite things to treat myself is a mock rootbeer float. It's A&W diet rootbeer with a little 1/2&1/2 and a little whip cream...it's cold creamy and delicious and very little carbs!
I'm hoping that by summer I will be in a much better place for dating, that I will be half way to my goal and looking cute enough to nab me a few cute boys (men) to enjoy summer with! I'm done hiding behind my fat and I'm ready to navigate the crazy waters of dating in your 40's again!
An outfit I am going to rock this summer? A cute pair of khaki shorts and a white blousy short sleeved mexican poet shirt, a nice tan and a cherry red pedicure! I'm also going to make myself a few cute summer dresses...which leads me to my new mantra "Men are much better than Carbs"
Have a Great Big Wonderful day!!!
