Well I didn't make a resolution this year and I did not start Low Carb (or I
should say re start) on January 1, 2005 as I didn't want the cliché or
stigma of the New Year Resolution Gang.
I re stared on December 30, 2004!!!
For those that are old timers here, I'm Desi. Started this WOL way back in
the dark ages, before this NG got started, 1997! Lost weight was doing
great, slipped a few times. Had thyroid caner, gained a few pounds back due
to slow thyroid, but nothing major....UNTIL I had a baby, Simon, and gained
a considerable amount of weight.
Now with me going into my 4th decade later this year I didn't want to face
40 with this weight issue looming and wanted to re take control of my life,
health and well being. SO here I am back on this WOE/WOL and doing just
fine, not making excuses and just saying NO to those bad carbs.
For those that find themselves slipping or can't get back on the wagon or
have doubts about the second, third, fourth, or even fifth time around, IT
is possible to re start, you just have to want it and be resolute in your
heart and soul and your mind will follow.
What I've done also this time is break my goal up so things won't seem
overwhelming to me. My first goal is to get to 220, then 190, then 175 and
a new all time low of 160. After 160 on low carb then I'm going to take up
weight training to reach my ultimate goal of maybe 140-130. For anyone
wondering why the odd mini goals, those are milestones for me of the weight
I had lost previously on LC and stayed at for a while. The 140-130 is
because with muscle you may weight heavier but wear a size smaller size so I
won't get hung up on a number on the scale.
SO my stats
240/230/220 first goal.
Thanks for reading and still being here!
