Low Carbs..IKES!

So, I have started the "Carb Diet." I went on a great vacation to North Carolina to see my husband's Aunt and Uncle and when I got there, it had been exactly one year since I had seen them. I had seen pictures, but of course nothing is like the real deal. I truly think I was in disbelief when I saw his uncle Wayne and he was literally eighty some pounds lighter than he was this same time last year when we were visiting. I was like "Wow" the pictures were for real! I of course, started on the questions and the prying for all the secrets. He had a lot to tell us, and he did a great job at it, too. I kinda had to sit and ponder a bit, and think...how on earth can I give up candy,cookies,bread,pasta and everything else that I so dearly love. I mean, Chocolate? Luscious, lumpy load of love..I can't give that up..or..can I?

That is the question...

So I continued to eat what I wanted over vacation, and I kept thinking, how do I program myself to a low card diet as in 20 carbs a day, when my body is SO use to consuming way more than that on a daily basis? Well, I kinda planned it all in my mind and told myself that it is as simple as I make it. I need self discipline..I can handle that..Maybe. So I get home and head out to BJ's all pumped up and bought all veggies and meat. I looked in my cart at the register and I was thinking, "I use to talk about people that had carts like this" but yet I was one proud chic at this point. My fourteen year old daughter is even watching her carb intake now. So much, that she texted me tonight from her friend's house and said " Hi mom, I am really hungry and there isn't anything here to eat without carbs" I told her "It's 10:00pm and you need to drink yourself a HUGE glass of water (thanks Wayne) and go to bed." she wrote back "All they have here is well water, goodnight mom, I will survive" I thought to myself, wow..she is really serious. Well, I have completed day two of twenty carbs a day..I am feeling great, and my husband even told me tonight "I like eating like this babe, we need to eat like this more often, so I guess I scored a healthy point there." I am very motivated and I know I can do it..I pray I don't cave, but I turned down several temptations today, that any other day I would of said "Ah, it wont hurt."

I feel good, I have lost weight already and I am really motivated...I pray I can keep it up..Braden told me today " I need dinner..not what you are making...YUCK...I need a PB&J and so that's what he got.

Hope you are having a good week..Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your carbs!
