Hey folks,
So my first post was a couple of weeks ago
now and I was in week 5 of my plan...Since then my weight loss has kind of
slowed down aka stood still ;-) I did hit my stone loss but went back up
the following week so as it stands now I am currently weighing in at 17 stone 4 & 1/2 pounds.
I am not disheartened tho, Just because
the scales hasn't moved doesn't mean I am not feeling the benefits... I have
exercised more so I feel myself toning up, I have lost 1.5 inches from my waist
since I started so it’s all good.
Recently I won a 6 week programme with a
gym in my area, it was going to be all about losing weight whilst doing regular
exercise, I was over the moon and couldn't wait to get stuck in.
On Sunday we had our first session - I am
still feeling the pains from the exercise we did and whilst it is pain it’s a
good pain, when I try to stand up I am getting up from the chair like an ole
woman of 80!
So the diet part of the plan is a NO CARB
- yep NO CARB diet...
This I will admit I am struggling with for
a number of reasons:
1) I shop for a family of 4 and to
add additional items to suit my no carb plan would increase my costs
2) My Hubby does the cooking during
the week in our house and when I get home I just want to eat my dinner and not
have to think about no carbs!
3) The sustainability of it - What
happens when I go back on my carbs after week 6?
4) 99% of the time we sit down to eat dinner as a family, alot of the time its the only part of the day where we are all together for that period of time, I don't want to have to be cooking my "other" dinner when they are having theirs
5) I have 2 kids, both thankfully relatively healthy with no major Food issues or hang ups (of course like all kids they don't like certain things) but I don't want to be showing them that I think its ok to not eat a balanced meal ie; no carbs!

Now don't get me wrong I am not saying it’s
something you shouldn't do but I am just unsure if it the right thing for me to
do. I guess it’s a combination of all of the above and the fear of the
unknown to a degree, I also worry that I will hate the fact I can't have carbs
and I will just get sick of it all and throw in the towel on my whole plan! So
for now Week 1 I am concentrating more on low carb than no carb let’s see how
that goes!!
Until next time :-)
