omg, what a week - Friday the 21st I got the beck n' call from the higher up's - as suspected things are REALLY bad with the firm - they let me go!! HOW the eff Los Angeles Lawyers can NOT make money is beyond me - but I did know things were bad, just had hopes they'd pull it together and be able to keep me. SO - yea, it threw me into a pity party and I just spent the last week-plus eating everything that wasn't nailed down (no worries, the dog is safe). So, here I go, starting induction again....

Today went well with the food... and I'm grateful for every good low-carb day after months of sugar and refined carb induced "fog".

What's amazing me the most is how fast my body responds to this way of eating - I guess that even through my 5 months of "carb hell" my body did not forget how well it felt and how well it ran on the years of low-carb fuel. This quick shift to more energy and a clearer mind is just helping me to cement my resolve to stay "clean"...

Exercise - I am not an exerciser, never have been. I was always the slowest runner in my classes at school, wasn't good at any sports, don't even like sports.

So what's a dyed-in-the-wool non-exerciser to do? I have a Gazelle that's gathering dust, a Bean that sits inside the Gazelle gathering dust, dumbbells that might as well be paperweights, and a resistance band that hangs on the closet door. I'm all set, but I lack motivation, and organization.

I know I need to set...

I have gotten v. motivated the last few days. We are dog-sitting and taking the dog for the required walks has been a real joy. Which has me thinking about when I was a person who actually enjoyed exercise!

So with that in mind, I am back in the mindset that what really helped me stay thin and feel great was running.

Ok, I am still a big girl. Down to a size 16 but a lumpy, bumpy size 16! (I like to joke about myself! It's ok!)

But the last two days, I have...
