My weight-loss story is probably not like yours.
I never looked in the mirror one day, disgusted by my body,
and said "By Golly! Time for a change!"
and said "By Golly! Time for a change!"
Nope - that would be too easy!
My weight-loss story started when
I went on vacation in March 2009.
About a year and a half ago.
Got stuck in a massive snow storm.
For over 2 weeks I was stranded -
No power at times...
No cooking, no driving.... no nothing!
Ate hard-boiled eggs and beef jerky!
Just water - and protein shakes....
Walking the beach in Oceanside, CA...
Roaming the streets of Temecula, CA...
Hiking the pathways in Sedona, AZ...
Hiking the trails in Marble City AZ...
Walking the sidewalks in Sante Fe NM...
Hiking in Carlsbad Caverns, NM...
I came back some 15 pounds lighter.
Had a little tan going on.
Everyone thought I had gone for a LapBand!
Maybe a week at a Spa? By*Pass?
Noooooo.... just the "Dumb-Luck Diet!"
(lol)
So I decided to stay on the plan. After all,
I had just gone through Atkins Induction Phase
and Boot Camp!
That's how I came to be here, blogging, too.
Hence the name Carb Tripper.
.........................................................
I never weighed myself "before"
I guessed 205.
But some old office records had me at 215 pounds.
Some guesses were as high as 230 pounds!
I am only 5'2"
My shirts were 24 W ...
Pants 48 waist....
Scrubs size 2x!
Care to take a guess?
(Size doesn't matter, right?)
Now-A-Days I think of it as a work in progress.
And for anyone who doesn't already know -

I was humiliated once.
While I was in the Grand Canyon,
I wanted to ride the mules.
But they have a 230 pound limit.
So they told me no.
I didn't even weigh to "prove" them wrong.
Cuz I wondered if they were right.
Just tore me up. No mules.
