Well, I definetly need to get back on a low carb plan! I lost 10
pounds or so, and started exercising and doing weights a lot (4 - 6
times a week!). The scale stopped going down, but I was always between
123 - 127. So carbs slowly started creeping back into my diet! And
that vicious cycle of starting to eat more carbs, and getting lazy is
starting up again! My workouts have slowed down to 2 times a week, and
I'm back up to 130 ... It's amazing how high sugar and refined starches
affect your mental attitude!!

Okay, so I'm going to start cutting back! Funny, how it started with
putting 1 tsp of sugar in my tea in the mornings, now I'm up to 3
tsps!!

Words of encouragement are appreciated, please let me know how you all
are feeling emotionally and mentally without all the sugar and starch!

JoAnn







Hey JoAnn,

How is the cutting back on sugar going?

I have never felt better than when I am low carbing. I've found that for
me, sugar and starch and anything carby slows me down, weighs me down, and just
brings me down in general, both mentally and physically.

Low carbing gives me so much more energy and I just FEEL so much better, so
much more healthy!

Let us know how you are doing with getting back to Low Carbing!

Remember, we are ALL in this together!

Happy Low Carbing!

Laura :)
