Once I started dropping the pounds using my new low carb food plan, I started getting the urge to exercise. I knew if I did that my weight would probably come off quicker plus it would tighten up the rest of my body. Not to mention the health benefits. So I started trying to walk along the dirt road in front of my home. I have had very severe knee problems in the last few years. Most of the time I have had to use a cane and when I would shop at my local Walmart Superstore I could not make it through the whole store. I have lost 32 pounds since December and found that I could walk farther than before. Afterwards though, I would be in pain and basically worn out. I had to find a way to exercise.......

Eyeballing a serving size is not the same as weighing it out, as anyone who has ever been bitten by a case of the Carb Creeps can tell ya.

When I heard from Jackie of Sweets4U2 asking if I'd like a sample to review of her new low carb cake mix, I had mixed feelings. Not that I don't like cake, Lord knows! But as most low carb vets can tell you, specialty foods can be problematic. So problematic, in fact, that we've nicknamed them "Frankenfoods" around here. Junk food is still junk food, regardless of whether or not it bears a "Low Carb" sticker the label.
