I have a little making up to do this week to even remain at last week's weight. Too many opportunities to eat a little extra, like visiting grandchildren who like foods that aren't weight loss conducive.
I am ready to get with it again, as I have been coasting in recent weeks. I just the read today that low carb regimens burn the most calories. I am sticking with the WW plan, BUT I am considering cutting out a lot of carbs and using Splenda much more, i.e. making or buying desserts or goodies that are sugar free. Of course, I don't want to demonize sugar because it has been one of my best lifelong friends. I do want to modify the relation to allow me to lose more weight and feel better. So, if I can handle having less bread overall and less sugar, along with concentrating on eating high quality proteins and vegetables, I think I will feel better in the long run. I'm still having quite a time feel rather badly most of the time.
I have also recently taken on a big project. I have always been a language lover and have dabbled in learning Spanish and some French in the past. I am now working with a native Spanish speaker via Skype toward the eventual goal of being fluent in Spanish. Why would I want to do this you say? It is personally rewarding, first of all, or it is for me. Second of all, I would always be disappointed if I never tried. Cindy was just notified recently of the need for translators at the National Federation for the Blind national conference. So, for example, that is a type of thing I would loooovvvve to be able to do. In order to do this, I am voluntarily scrambling my brain and studying mucho every day as well as having daily lessons via Skype. Wow, I'm surprised that I am telling this because I tend to feel self conscious about doing out of the ordinary things...hehe (nervous laugh inserted). Of course I am being pushed to the limit mentally and physically. If you want, prayers are appreciated in regard to accomplishing what God wants me to accomplish in this endeavor.
Sorry for writing a book!
