I tipped the scales at 207 this morning. I could feel this comming for a while. I've just been having a good ol' time shoving food into my mouth. My Dad got me a book for Christmas called "The Maker's Diet". I'm going to try it. It's basically low carb, but, I am shocked by some of the things the Bible tells us not to eat, i.e., shrimp, lobster, pork. . . He gives great reasons scientifically for why these foods might be bad for us. It's mostly about how the food they eat is processed allowing the bad stuff to stay in their bodies and subsequently be eaten by its prey (us). So, some of the foods he says to eat is a no brainer, i.e., leafy greens. Some of what he says is shocking, i.e., no beans. Lentils are okay to eat, but no other bean. Interesting.
I haven't really decided what I am going to be doing, although, I will say, I've stopped eating shrimp, lobster and pork. It skeeves me now.
I'm going to count my calories for sure. I'm thinking 1500 per day sounds good. I'm also going to go to the gym straight from work. The bad thing about that is the gym is packed at that time. It is the only time to go, however, since I proved to myself last night that if I try to wait until a less busy time, I just wont go. I was going to put in a workout DVD, but I just couldn't get into it. So, basically, last night I lounged around the house in my gym clothes.
