Hello :wiggle:
On Sunday I decided I really wanted to start eating low carb and I wanted a partner to join me on my journey. So I called my sister in Florida (I'm in Los Angeles) but she wasn't interested, she plans on eating freely during the holidays. But to my surprise my brother-in-law was interested!
So that day we decided we would really watch what we are eating, committed to NOT eating the things we know are our weeknesses, exercise and speak at the end of the week to see how we were doing.
I have to say that although I would prefer to speak to my buddy everyday, knowing that we can compare notes at the end of the week makes me more enthused.
So here is my deal in a nut-shell: I would like to lose as much weight as I can between now and December 27th. I will be visiting my family in Florida and seeing great live music :dazzle: for New Years. I don't expect to be at my goal by then, but I do hope that I will be able to see a considerable weight loss. (I've noticed that many people seems to lose quite a bit during their first two weeks.)
I have always strived to eat healthy, in fact I have been a vegetarian and raw food eater which I enjoyed very much. But my "emotional eating" caused me to overeat even the healthy stuff. So I decided to try my hand at a way of eating that will help keep my sugar more balanced. Hence the lo-carb high-protein...
I have included daily cardio but in reasonable amounts in hopes that I will be able to continue this exercise routine for life. (I have the habit of overdoing things to the point that I get burnt out or sore.) My next goal is to buy some hand weights and working them into my routine. As well as adding some Yoga... all in due time.
I have some questions so I am going to move on over to the "newbie question section".
Thanks for reading!
Lookin' forward to sharing my success with all of you!!
