sophiaserpentiaWell, as threatened I added a few new CDs to my work listening rotation. I'm pleased with this new selection.
Of all the things I have done in my life to try to eat healthier and/or lose weight by far the most successful has been Sugar Busters. Since I started eating this way last summer I am down 45 pounds. For anyone who is unfamiliar, SB is an approach that avoids all refined and simple sugars and saturated fats in favor of complex carbs, unsaturated fats (particularly a balance of omega-3, -6, and -9 fats), and high protein.
But lately I've allowed myself to creep off of the straight and narrow. It started with a few cookies here and there, sometimes eating pasta or even rice with meals to keep costs low. Finally last week with the move going on -- pots and pans and dishes all packed away, no time to fix things -- I didn't even pretend to adhere to this plan. For the first time in months I ate french fries and white bread.
As a result during the move I actually put a few pounds back on.
So, now that things are settling down, and finances are looking a bit better, I am going to rededicate myself to low-carb.
The first few days will feel like withdrawal. God help us all.
