Dukan Diet

I’m on day 3 of the Dukan Diet and doing pretty well.  I also restarted the C25K program.  I’m craving carbs like crazy, though. I have some strawberries in the fridge that I want to devour…ugh.  I can’t wait until WIW! I’ll let you all know how it goes.  Anyone try this diet before and loose pounds?

Q:I just stumbled upon your blog and I totally enjoyed reading it. Also, finally someone close to my age. I'm turning 35 this year and I'm 5.0 ft tall (or short). I love your photos and I admire your determination. You're amazing! :)

Thanks for your encouragement! I’m working on it!

Where Have I Been?

Ok, so my March pretty much sucked.  I got caught in the work-mom-wife mode and forgot about my health again.  I think I’m stuck in a pattern of putting myself on the back burner whenever things get too overwhelming.  I just weighed myself and I’m up to 176.  Thank the Lord that I haven’t gained everything back.  I haven’t been counting my calories or exercising at all. 

Enough.

It’s back on.

I’m starting 30 day shred tomorrow.  I’ve been using the weather as an excuse to not workout.  How stupid of me. 

I’ve got 9 more months of 2011 and I’m going to use ALL of them to get healthy.

No more games.

No more excuses.

This is war.

WIW Week 8

WIW Week 7

  • Last week: 172 
  • This Week: 172
  • Change: -0
  • Total Loss: 10

Ok, so I didn’t loose anything this week but that’s ok.  I had a really difficult week and it snowed so I had to stay in.

Update on the Dream Center:

It was really great but hard.  I was a victim of child abuse so being around other abuse victims was extreemly difficult.  I have helped others in the past but they have always come to me. To go to them was a step out of my box. I almost feel as though I regressed in my own battle a little.  Boo to scars even though they help other people.

I also volunteered at a senior center this week which was hard since I lost my grandmother about a year ago. Yeah, open wounds there too.  I loved meeting the older people though and am probably going to be visiting them weekly.  They play Skip-bo which I love!

So, a pretty hard week but good. I’m off to hike with the crazy lady again. I’m probably going to die.
