It's been a month

:whoo:It's been a month and I have lost over 25 lbs. The high protein, low carbs has got me back on track and back loosing weight. I have been so excited about getting a fill, but if I keep loosing weight like I have with the low carbs, high protein, then I might not need one. This has been really good for my discipline when it comes to eating.

 

Today my daughter asked me to go with her to a circuit class. I told her no, because I didn't think I could do it. A couple of months ago I tried and couldn't even make it through the first 15 minutes. She strongly encouraged me to try. I did it!!! I did the whole class. It was an hour long. I am so proud of myself.

 

I have a lot of support from all my friends at work. One of the girls saw me at the gym and that I had finished the class. She came up to me and told me how happy she was that I was doing so well. It is so nice to have encouragement.

 

So for the past four days I have been keeping a food journal. It has every bite that I put in my mouth. It has all my protein grams down. I have totaled about 75 grams a day. I have taken off about 5 pounds in the last 3 days. Yeah!!

 

The only thing I really have struggled with is remembering to eat slowly when I first start eating my dinner meal with all my family. I find myself eating to fast and then pbing again. I have to slow down and knock it off.

 

I would love to hear comments from anyone who reads my journal and who has any advice, encouragement or anything.

How many carbs are doing in a day. What kind of food do you eat in a day. How many calories. I'm trying to figure this out, but not having much luck. I get way to many fat grams and carbs. Congrat on the weight loss and doing your excercise.
