This is day nine or ten (I don't have my journal with me) of low carb eating. I haven't been watching my calories at all. I have been eating a ton of calories but keeping it low carb. I was at 240.5 again today. I have been this weight for the last week almost. I obviously am not going to lose any weight unless I cut down on calories. I am going to try to keep calories below 1000 today. I brought EAS choclate protein shake powder with me to work as well as vienna sausages. That would put me at 500 calories, 58 g. protein, 8.5 g. carbs, and 24 g. fat before dinner. For dinner I think I will have a grilled chicken breast with a side salad. That would put me at less than 1000 calories, and be good on the carbs and fat.
My husband took some pictures of me on Memorial Day and today. Ugh. I have been kidding myself about how I look. I am serious this time about losing the weight and keeping the carbs low. I am headed for hypertension/diabetes/high cholestrol/hypothyroidism if I don't get this under control. My joints routinely hurt, as well as my back and knees. At this point I am more concerned about feeling healthier than I am about my looks.
I have also been taking my morning temperature for the last ten days or so. I am averaging about 1 degree down from optimum morning temp. Low thyroid function? I will continue to monitor.
