This morning I was lamenting how my weight has gone up a couple of pounds in the last month. I've been meaning to go back to the low carb lifestyle, but I've just been having a hard time dumping the breads and potatoes and even sugar while balancing working, taking care of the kids and finding time to exercise. A very wise woman (my baby sister!), said that "Having a handle over my eating habits is easy for me right now because
it's the only thing I can control." I thought about it, and Susan is so very right. We can't always control our environment or other people, but we can control our reactions/behaviours, internally and externally.
So tomorrow I will take back control over my food intake (not usually excessive, but perhaps not always the smartest choices). Of course I'm going to have to make sure I'm prepared so that I will have low carb choices to start with in the morning. Guess I better get cooking that bacon tonight and hide it from the kids so it doesn't disappear on me.
The weekend may be a little difficult. I will be away from home visiting with family, but I can always do the best I can for the rest of this week, and start anew on Monday.
