Week One (ROFCMEO)

(Rolling on the floor crying my eyes out)

Not really. But sort of.

I ditched the 7 Day Carb Cycle Solution because....because....I don't know why. I suppose I could read through all my posts over the last two years, psycho-analyze myself, meditate on it, and figure it out. But I don't feel like "making a federal case of it", as my mom would say (I love that saying).

Instead, I'm enjoying my Lose It! app. I eat when I'm hungry, and I eat what I want (of course it's primarily "clean" and whole grains, lean proteins, etc....I know how to eat healthfully), and I still enjoy some wine and cocktails and potato chips. I just keep track and try to eat mostly the good stuff, I try not to go over my daily allotted calories, and I try to get some exercise in every day (I found out that being at the ranch, grooming my horse, cleaning her stall, and riding, burns about 400 calories!).

I also realized that the numbers on the scale, because of my failing eye sight, look better. The 6 really looked like a 5 this morning. I thought I lost 10 pounds this week! I did not. But for a second, I felt GREAT!

Between my failing eye sight, my big, hip slimming cowboy hat, and the cocktails....I actually look pretty darn good right now...just as I am. I'm going to try to keep that mindset, but continue to live and eat in balance. Which reminds me...I need to start doing yoga again regularly...and get a tan. A tan is always good for about 5 pounds! So between my eye sight, my big cowboy hat, cocktails, a tan, and yoga (for a sense of inner well-being), I think I'll be good!

I think I'll go have some snack shack nachos now to celebrate!!
