Low Carb Du Jour

It’s now 7 days into low-carb (starting again fresh in 2009) and I stepped on the scale with a bit of apprehension.  I’m not a spring chicken any more and it’s getting harder and harder to lose the weight.  It’s one of the 2 reasons I chose low-carb in the first place – the second reason is that of all the plans out there, this is the only one that scientifically & medically makes sense to me.

So, I step on and I am down a total of 3.2 pounds from when I woke up on New Years Day and got on the scale to start!  Yippie!

That’s a weight (no pun intended) off my mind!  Imagine my chagrine if I’d stepped on and I’d gained weight!  Especially after starting a blog about how great low-carb is and what it’s done/doing for me!  Talk about embarrassing … but no worries.  I’m sure those posts will come – but at least not today.

I admit that I step on the scales just about every morning at the same time.  I keep track of what the scale tells me – whether I like it or not – in a small notebook I keep right by the scale.

Now that I think about it – I really should take a photo of myself now and keep it somewhere so I can show before and after.  I’ll think about it … I’m not too crazy about that idea, but I’ve always looked back after I’ve taken off the weight and wished that I had.
