As some of you may remember, I went on the Lindora low carb weight loss program some months ago. I did, in fact, loose 18lbs. I was doing great; than the program ended. I never really completed the program properly as I missed my last two weeks of “metabolic adjustment”. It’s all my fault, really, I was not committed enough to follow through with the long term maintenance routine. It’s not that I didn’t know what to do, I just didn’t do it. It’s been a hectic time, of course, with all the house drama; a convenient excuse.

So I’ve completely and totally fallen off the wagon. I’ve gained back probably five pounds and noticeable inches to my waist. This has really got to stop. It’s a matter of balancing wants and desires. I desire to keep my weight down, but I often want to eat a hamburger. Somewhere there is the right balance. Starting to exercise regularly like I used to, oh, that would help greatly as well.

I write this to update you on where I am and to let you know the struggle doesn’t end. Hopefully soon, we will get through the move to Portland transition and things can get back to normal, which will make it so much easier to get on track. That and I plan on getting a really good bike in Portland (it’s bike city after all). So many things are bike-able, I may get it a good deal more exercise getting around town. Portland does have all those great food carts though…..oh, boy.
