a total knock out

 

A patient's family member told me 

That if I were to lose 10 or 15 more pounds,

I would be a "total knockout"!

This guy knows nothing of my previous weight loss.

So I just kinda looked at him, and nodded my head.

And I was thinking.... "He's right!"

2011 and 2013

I have been on LoCarb for nearly 4 years...

And I still love LoCarb with a true passion!

I have never doubted it, or grown weary of it.

I had a year or so when I was lamenting the fact

that I can not eat sweet potatoes like other people can...

And I was really sad about it, too!

 But I didn't blame LC for that.

Having high blood glucose readings (when I go off plan)

came from YEARS of Carb Abuse.... 

And not from my current Carb Restriction.

I flirted with some low numbers, but never really stayed there.

Also, at first, my scales were off by 7 full pounds!

[May it rest in peace — or pieces... I ditched that thing!]

But over all I have stayed basically in the same range-

For nearly 4 years now!

Getting the weight off is hard. Keeping it off is MUCH harder!

There has to be a balance of work, and rest, and food.

Four years ago, I could barely climb the stairs to get home.

I had no energy - probably ate 800 carbs a day!

2 liters of Coke every day without fail...

Fries, Candy - anything my "heart" desired.

Work, eat, sleep - is all I could manage to do.

This was my M.O. for much more than a decade.

As I get older, and more seasoned on LoCarb,

I am no longer interested in trying different things.

I just want to do what works for me.

Not a plan... not a system... not a book or opinion.

My pancreas always forgets what it just read!

I've been stuck in this Body for over 50 years -

Maybe it's time I learned what it needs!

So now, with the new job fast approaching,

Complete with a new work (and workout) schedule - 

I am ready to streamline all my efforts.

And just see where it takes me.

Why have a nice house - but keep a crappy-looking front yard?

Why not clean it up as much as my energy levels allow?

And since I have energy now, that I never had before -

Why not!

I have worked out many of the tweaks of LoCarb for me.

Not too much protein - it just turns to blood glucose.

Remember - I am only 5'2"... WITH shoes on.

No junk, less fake foods, better quality...

Since I got sick last month with the flu, 

I never really got my appetite back.

I eat about half of what I ate before.

MUCH less caffeine, no snacking, no food after 6 pm,

No wine, no cheating - and walk every day!

Still can't out-train a bad diet.

It really is quite simple!

Now.... to make it so...
