this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2 which then became efx2blogs). in the end, the final incarnation (efx2blogs) went down one too many times for me, so i switched to blogger. i was able to recover most of my older stuff (efx2) from archive.org. some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.

well today completes my first week back on the low carb diet. and wouldn't you know it, just when i needed it the most, i can't figure out if i've lost anything or not. the difference between my weight at the doc's the last time i went and my weight last night was 14 pounds, but i'm not convinced. i will have to figure out how off my home scale is and readjust the total.
but, so far so good. seeing as how i have a tendency to hit the wall after losing a certain amount, i'm tracking what i eat more closely than i used to, looking for trends. i lost 45 pounds last time i did low carb and then hit a wall for like 6 months. i'm hoping that doesn't happen again this time. i'm more aware of what might be causing that (hormonal imbalance discovered by the gyno) and i don't intend to let it get the best of me.
i tried a new recipe last night (pork chops with garlic cream sauce) and the chops came out waaaaay too salty. dangit! i hate it when something i cook doesn't turn out yummy! combine that with the chorizo i made for breakfast that i didn't like (new brand, too chunky. i like my chorizo finely ground) and i'd say i had a bad culinary day. the low carb cheesecake i made did come out quite delicious, though. one of the things i love so much about low carbing is that wifey lets me cook lots since i can do the carb counting in my sleep practically and i LOVE to cook.
I'm feeling: better
