Okay, been so busy and haven't taken the time to post here. Nothing real exciting going on, I completed my yeast detox diet and have struggled since with my eating. I've gone from taking little cheats to full-blown s'more's Sat night. I had hoped to slide into low-carb and continue losing weight, but that didn't go so well... so then I decided to re-start the yeast detox diet, and that has gone even worse. I haven't gained any weight, am holding steady at 44lbs lost, but really need to get losing again to reach my goal by the end of the year.
I have not done well at all with exercise in the last month. I finished the T-Tapp challenge with over 19" lost, but could have done so much better had I been as consistent the 2nd 30-days as I was the first 30-days. I would like to do the 15-min Basic Workout each morning and get the Instructional #2 done a couple times in a week also... gotta just do it!
My cycle has not started again yet, so it's been 53 days now... grrr.... my acupuncture treatments are done now. I think I was getting the placebo after all is said and done. I have a few months of collecting urine samples at home and then go back for the final tests one last time. I am still glad I did it, was a good experience overall.
I have been waking early and having coffee with Tom, spending time in God's Word and prayer. That has been good. I've been kinda moody and down the last few days though. Will be better soon, pray for strength and self-control for me!

Oh, Amber, I know it's hard. I had to be really firm with myself when starting the low-carb diet, no cheats at all. It took me 5 hard days to adjust, and I almost gave up, but then I started feeling better. The more weight I lose the better I feel. I also had a lot of exercise in England just walking around gardens and countryside and lost a good bit of weight. I've always had a sweet tooth but when my body adjust to low carb I start looking at sweet things like poison and loving burgers with melted cheese, veggies steamed with butter, etc. ... YUM!! I'm pretty near my goal weight but now don't want to stop because when I try to add in a few more low-key carbs I don't feel as well!!
I'm usually pretty bad with regular exercise too. I need to walk everyday, which isn't always easy with all the rain we get here. But I must MAKE myself do it, just as I made myself diet!
I think your cycle, mood & diet may be connected... you seem to be doing worse with mood & diet when your eating & exercise aren't as good. I'm the same!
We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us! Pray for His help!! I am leaning on Him so much to help me be more diligent with chores and exercise, I can't do it without Him!
Love you!
Mary
