I’ve tried new products from the Linda’s Diet Delites website, but have not found anything that I like better than the original
brownie and blueberry muffin that I first tried. I’m able to buy lunch at
Subway and Wendy’s, but I bring my lunch most of the time. If I eat at Subway or Wendy’s, I do not eat
the bread. I found low carb (3 net carbs
each) tortillas at Walmart (Carb Smart makes them), and I have been
thrilled. I use them as my “bread”
instead of the Subway bread, etc. I use two
of them to make chicken quesadillas (one of my favorite meals). I really haven’t missed the sugar or high-carb
foods too much. Once a week, I eat one
high-carb meal. It makes me happy and my
body seems to respond with some additional weight loss since I started
this. I have heard of carb-cycling…maybe
this is part of that…but for whatever reason, it works for me.
I’m still exercising but had to throw in some cardio as
well. I use a workout DVD several times
a week.
I thank God daily for the support He provides me. Things are still stressful, but leaning on
God is easier than trying to manage everything myself. My self-management led to 40 extra
pounds…God’s management has led to an 18 pound weight loss. It’s not hard to tell Who is the better
leader!
