Just an update…
If you guys remember, I started the low carb "thing" the day right after Memorial Day. Since then I’ve lost about 8 lbs and a total of 14 lbs since I decided to get serious back in March. It’s amazing but I’m feeling sexy and confident again! I’m now able to fit back into my size 14 uniform pants. And the best part of it all is that I have no fear of them ripping on me lol!
Its not an easy road but its well worth it. When you start to see the weight melting off, it just fuels your desire to keep on going. Unfortunately I’m not working out as much as I would love too. My 2 grandkids (2) live at home with me with their mom and I do most of the work when it comes to them. My daughter wasn’t ready to be a mom and it seems like she will never be ready so now I find myself raising 2 more, on my own. So by the time that I’m finished with the grandkids, in the morning, its time for me to start to get ready for work.
Regardless, I’ve been able to squeeze 3 days of workouts in a week and sometimes even 4! I’m not complaining though, cause it’s better than nothing and I think that its somewhat consistent. I’ve still managed to keep the carbs to a minimum of 20gms a day and some weekends I take a break and treat myself.
Let’s see what August brings!

Hey, I did the low carb and it does help take the weight off, just remember at some point you will need to work the carbs (good ones) back into the diet to tone the muscles. Good luck and you are looking great.

Yea..what I do is limit the carbs to 20 gms for about 2-3 weeks then I take a few days off and eat the "good ones". It seems to be working and I dont feel like I’m depriving myself.

I cannot even imagine raising two year olds - and I am the same age as you and have help at home! Amazing that you are doing that. How is the fitness quest going?
