This & That

Posted 06-02-2008 at 04:08 PM by QueenMama

Lately I've been in a funk, and I'm not sure why. Perhaps it's the natural letdown after having had a nice vacation, and then having to get back into the usual routine, and finding out that the routine has been disrupted due to things beyond your control. Or, perhaps it's just the fact that summer came early this year, and I don't really like hot weather. Or, that I can't seem to focus on my eating, and have been guilty of some mindless eating, even though it's been low carb.

Anyway,...

Calories

Posted 04-25-2008 at 11:02 AM by QueenMama

I was drawn to low carb because there was no calorie counting involved. But now I'm finding that I do better eating fewer calories while keeping my carb level low.

I hate counting calories. It just seems insane. But, if I go above about 1700 or 1800 a day, my weight stalls, even at a very low carb level.

The calorie culprits are the wonderful fatty things, such as cheese & cream cheese, heavy cream, and of course, fatty meat. I don't believe in limiting fat, but it...

Just Grousing

My weight has gone up, and now it's just sitting still.

For a person to give up bread, potatoes, rice, macaroni (even the Dreamfields), and all sugar, and still not lose weight, is just plain frustrating. To see the scales climb up is even more frustrating. And it all seems to be belly weight, too.

I've never had such a long stall, or had the weight creep back up, while being careful about what carbs I eat.

Today I just feel kind of low, sorry for myself,...

Exercise

Posted 03-26-2008 at 10:25 AM by QueenMama

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...

Paying Attention

Posted 03-24-2008 at 12:33 PM by QueenMama

The last couple of weeks I've been eating out of control. It's never carby stuff, it's not in the house, and when we eat out, I do not, repeat, do not, order anything off plan, ever. When they bring croutons on the salad, I pick them all off. The ubiquitous bread is put aside.

But lately I've just had no control over my eating. And I've baked some low carb things that were gone sooner than they should have been, right down my gullet.

Where one should be adequate, I've eaten...
