LOW Carb-O-Licious!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOW-CARB-O-LICIOUS!!!!! LOL


So thanks to Low Carb Lindsey (She is super super great by the way, please check her out at www.lowcarblindsey.com)....... I was introduced to this yum yum 1 carb per slice healthy bread!!!!!! WOO HOO! So I can now have sandwiches........ on a low carb diet....... say what!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!
Any who...... that picture posted above is my yum yum 1 carb per slice bread from Julian Bakery in La Jolla, CA (or as I call it... Yo Holla!! Cali.) LOL
It came in yesterday. I must say it's not very flavorful, but it's bread..... and bread opens all doors.... that means sandwiches, and french toast .... you name it!!!!! and it's only ONE NET CARB PER SLICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
If your interested I will post a video from Julian Bakery on this post as well. Also, as a tip I recommend putting this baby in the freezer so you don't waste a slice. I live in Louisiana so I don't have a Julian Bakery near by that I can just run by a pick up a loaf so I had to order mine from their website:

So, it can be costly to just let this go to waste. One loaf of this yummy bread cost me about $13.00 with shipping included in the price, which isn't terribly bad, but still high enough to not want to waste a single crumb.

Sick......blah!!!

I must say, I feel just like this little guy! I got really sick on Tuesday night out of the blue, and I am still trying to recover from it. I should have stayed home today, but with everything going on at work I decided I should come in since I haven't thrown up in over 24 hours.

The doctor said it is a stomach virus......ugh I wish I was at home. Work seems lonely to me now too. Brittany is going through a lot with Jamie's pawpaw about to pass, so she really isn't talking to anyone, and for whatever reason Steven doesn't really talk to me too much anymore either......and CJ is on vacation. It's weird because I actually miss him being here. At least it was someone to talk to on occasion..... Oh well I guess all I can do is do my work and hope for a good weekend............

I Cheated! I'm Guilty! I admit it! :(

OK so I cheated this morning.... and boy do I feel like poopies! I know that this sometimes happens. I am just disappointed in myself. I need to remember how I feel right now! How I pretty much took all of my much needed energy and crumpled it in a ball and threw it away in the trash.

This cheating incident was due to poor planning!!!!!! Last night I was sitting at my dining room table on my laptop and and all the sudden it occurred to me "WORK!!" I had forgotten to go to work and move tickets. So, at this point I had two choices.

Number 1: I could leave instantly and go and that would put me getting back home at 11 or 11:30 PM

or

Number 2: Go to bed right then an get up early and go to work for 4 AM.

So which is it.......? I choose number two.

When I got up this morning I was tired even though I had a full nights rest. I guess it was mainly because I knew what time it really was regardless how much sleep my body got.

Right before Leandro and I left the house I thought for a minute about what I was going to bring for lunch or breakfast and I was too tired to care, so i just left.

Well, around 6 AM I was starving since I didn't eat dinner last night but I had a late lunch yesterday. I didn't have a vehicle to leave and get anything.....and I felt so hungry!!!! There was nothing at the office except the cupcakes i brought for Charlie on Friday (not sure why he never came to get them.....but that makes me sad.) :(

So, needless to say I benged and ate FOUR of them!!! I instantly had a tummy ache! I am so disappointed.

Starting tomorrow I am going to start induction again for two weeks, with twenty carbs a day or less and no caffeine, and no diet drinks or aspartame. I am not going to continue with low carb instead of no carb until my body reach Ketosis again. but I will not stay on the no carb plan for longer than three weeks.

My little box of Chocolates!

Life is like a Box of Chocolates……..

Ever since Forrest Gump, this phrase has been popular, but just so you know this post has nothing to do with Forrest Gump. Sorry to disappoint you. LOL

However, it does have to do with chocolates….yummy! I am now in my second week of my low carb lifestyle change and look what I found to treat myself. It’s a box of chocolates.

Whitman’s Sugar Free Sampler which includes three sugar free candies. It’s perfect for your desk. It’s a way to spoil yourself, yet modestly! They are pretty darn good. I bought all that Rite Aid had and kept them in my desk. Every few days when I am craving something a little sweet, I will treat myself to one of these babies.

Anytime....? Anywhere? Anyone there? Hello? ECHO!

-------VS.----------

So last night Leandro and I went to work out at Anytime. We have a membership there. The Anytime Fitness that we signed up at was in Walker, LA. I don't know if it's for the fact that it is my home Anytime or maybe because I worked out at that one the most, but that location is my favorite one. The Anytime in Livingston is the nicest one I have been too as far as equipment wise and cleanliness, but for some reason I love the Walker Anytime the best!

So, last night we visited the Walker Anytime. It was so empty, but I noticed Snap was full. I guess everyone is switching to Snap now. I don't care, I love Anytime. I don't think I will be switching. I miss it when Steven Hull used to work out with us. I thought about him last night. We used to have so much fun working out. I was getting pretty good with the weights too! I remember I got to the point where I could bench 100 lbs.

It brought back so many good memories being at that gym, memories of our lives before Stephen passed. I think I will be going to that one more often!! It felt so good to work out again!!!!!

My Pharmacophobia

Pharmacophobia: An exaggerated or irrational fear of drugs.


Yep.......that's me. I HATE taking medicine. What is it about it I hate you ask??? Everything! I hate everything from the smell, taste, the idea of HAVING TO TAKE IT!!! I know that it's all mental and stupid but I just HATE IT!


I am FORCING myself to get over this irrational fear, but it's kind of hard. I am writing everything down (like you would do for a child.) I am writing down what I take and when. While everyday I keep telling myself over and over ::YOU NEED THIS.....YOU NEED THIS...YOU HAVE TO TAKE HAVE THIS........YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS::


I realize that makes me sound crazy but it seems to be working.........





****I posted this blog and didn't even mention my medication. I am having to take Metformin (glucophage) for my PCOS. I have to take two 500 MG tablets everyday for like........ the rest of my life. :( I hate the idea of HAVING to take something everyday... forever. It just sucks is all!
Also, in case you aren't aware of what PCOS is......read the information below.
PCOS
Poly cystic ovary disease is a condition in which there are many small cysts in the ovaries, which can affect a woman's ability to get pregnant.

I do not suffer from all of the symptoms but a few.

She Let Herself Go......

She let herself go.....that's me! I let myself go....in the bad way...........but I want to turn it into a good way.....make senses?!?!? yes? No? LOL

When Stephen passed away I was already overweight. His passing made things worse for me. I didn't even realize it . It's like one day I woke up from this coma of sadness and I realized I was a 100 lbs over weight :( Not only did I realize how overweight I am, I realized that I quit caring about my hair, makeup, my body......myself. I used to enjoy taking care of myself, and my body and always trying to improve myself inside and out....... then one day all of that just went away. I am ready to start being the best me that I can be!

The last year has been so hard, I am ready to start living again! When I say I let myself go......I did. However, I am ready to improve my mind and my body and let myself go on a cruise...or to CA...I am going to put myself on a diet and I am sticking to it. NO CHEATING!!!!! I know this will not only make me healthier but it will help boost my confidence in becoming the new me....or the old me....however you want to look at it.
