Birthday... and the rest of my life...

OH MY GOSH!!! Today I turn 39...

It has been MONTHS since I have posted. It has been a long couple of months, yet, it has flown by... funny how that works.

I have been having some anxiety/depression issues. It has made me not care about anything, including eating right, exercising and taking care of myself.

THAT STOPS NOW...

I have to do something. I don't feel good, like ever... I am running out of clothes since I got rid of all my "fat clothes" last year. I have gained about 40 pounds back since stopping Nutrisystem earlier this year. So, last night, we reordered Nutrisystem. I lost like 80 pounds on that and hubby lost 100. We are going back. We know how to do it this time and have the committment. WE HAVE TO.

So, my pledge to myself is this -

I WILL GET HEALTHY BY MY 40TH BIRTHDAY. 

I have a year, stick around and watch me do it!

Downsizing Me Log - UPDATE

The Downsizing Me Log is going Weekly!!!

I am losing my mind with this log, not really (kinda!!)

Starting 9/1/2016, I will be doing the Downsizing Me Log Weekly.  At least for a while. It will still include all the things it always has (weigh-in, Blood Sugars, exercise, etc) but it will just be once a week, instead of everyday. That way I can give an overview of pictures of the best meals from that week, instead of wanting to kick myself when I forget to take pictures!! I am also going to try to start doing a little more with the blog instead of just what it has been. When I started I had all these grand plans but not very many of them have come to fruition.

So stay tuned and we’ll see where the blog goes together. And remember, we are going to be starting the YouTube channel sometime soon!!

My Favorite Low Carb Websites - The One That Started It All!!

Peace Love and Low Carb

I decided to start a series of posts about my favorite Low Carb websites or blogs. I remember several years ago, when I was first diagnosed with diabetes and PCOS, I looked for websites with low carb recipes. I found this one. It looked totally different but the food looked so good. The first two recipes I made were the Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers and the Beef Stroganoff Burgers. They were so good. I have tried several of these recipes and am going to try others soon. Please check out this site if you are interested in Low Carb amazing dishes!!!
