This week has been pretty darn good. Lost 2lb and can now see a little light at the end of the tunnel. Only about 5 weeks to my holiday. 2 gym classes this morning - 1 toning Tables and 1 kickboxing. Boy do I 'glow' 
Happy with how things are going....well....excluding tonight. I made lasagna and had seconds   So instead of having  49 carbs for the day, I had 70  Ooops.
It's not all bad...losing 2lb has put a smile on my face.

B'fast: 1 protein bar
Snack: 1 small iced cookie 
Lunch: chicken breast slices 
Snack: 1 pack of low-carb crisps/potato chips
Dinner: Roast beef slices and mixed salad with 1 low-carb wrap
Supper: Slice of apple pie  

Total carbs for today around  60

oooo a little over but still in control. Blame the cookie on the office admin. It was Admin Day at work today and they had tons of cookies but I did choose the smallest cookie on the plate and said "no" to another  

Blame the apple pie on my husband who just turned up with a big wedge. We shared it between 3 of us and I had the smallest piece 

Got a wonderful message from one of my members today...

"Well am 6 weeks in, watching my carbs and calories, and nearly one stone lighter ....... Thank you Karen xx"

Well done Carol!...
It Works !

So in control today. Didn't get time to go to the gym but I managed to stay with my 3 meals and I still have a few carbs left for a snack if the mood takes me.  

One very disturbing point. My scales have stopped working  They need new batteries.... Got to get that sorted as soon as possible. I stand on them every single morning. It's something I neeeeeed to do. I just have to take deep breaths when I pass them.

I miss my scales

BOSTON MARATHON 2013

OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO

THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES 

Todays Daily Log goes like this....
B'fast: Coffee - Ooops
Lunch: 2 egg omelet with tomato on 2 low-carb wraps
Dinner: Mixed salad and bowl of chili 

 Today's carbs about  35
Both fairly good days. Only around 45 yesterday. AND - 2 gym visits today. 1 Kickboxing class  and 1 Toning Tables. Toning it up....I hope 

By the afternoon I was completely shocked at what I saw on tv. How someone could do such a senseless cowardly act on innocent people. I have never understood it and I never will.

RIP

Dinner: Minced beef & onions
Total carbs for today around 30 

Not a very imaginative day. Busy with school shows and had to be there most of the day. Great performance and the art show was fab....and my baby (who is now 15 1/2yr) played solo in Electronic Jazz Orchestra. 

It just hit me while watching him perform. I cant believe he is so grown up, learning to drive and searching for Universities for his senior year. Only seems like last year he pined and was desperately unhappy without his dummy (pacifier)  Only with a dummy in his mouth and his mothers cuddle did he fall into a slumber.

As we all know, time waits for no man but I do wonder what I'm going to do without him. Only time will tell. So, if in about 2 years you see me wondering round the streets in a daze, you will know I wont be dealing with it very well.  Yes I am busy with Real Estate, my Low-Carb Cookbook is doing great, and my Husband and Home keeps me on the go, (wherever that will be after our assignment).

Everything we have done has including all of us. One things for sure, it wont be a happy experience. Feeling odd and wondering what to do next  I dont mean work wise as that side is busy. I mean with our evenings round the dining table enjoying each others company and discussing our future together. 

Well, as you can see I am feeling a little old  And it all started watching him play the bloody trumpet!

Most days have been good, but night time has been pretty bad. Plus friends visiting from overseas together with restaurant visits has been so nice yet it has turned out to be challenginhg ordering the complete wrong thing on the menu and thinking...."Oh well, it's only once". The problem is, once turned to many times. And, the worse part of it, I knew it was the wrong thing to eat while I was eating it. So, I think I will give up 

That's how I feel.

I have been to the gym only about 4 times over the last 2 weeks and only this week got back into going twice on Monday - Toning Tables and Kickboxing. Today I will try to get there but it doesnt look good with work and commitments, but this week I have to do exercise at least 4 times! 

Over the last 5 days I've had around 300 carbs. If you've been reading my daily log you'll know that I normally have a little under that over the week  

And yes, I've put weight on....surprisingly 

So let's start again..... about 7 weeks to my holiday. There is still time..... Will I do it?
