I hope I don't confuse you....

I was going to write a little about confusion today…but after thinking about all the confusing things I get confused about, I realized I was too confused to write!   Plus, a lot of what confuses me is pretty sad happenings, and why make everyone sad?   I do know that God is not the author of confusion, so… I’ll toss my confusion His way, and just continue to trust Him.

Instead, I’ll just write a confusing, disjointed entry for your reading "pleasure."

I’m stuck on 31-32 pounds this week.  

I’m not confused about that.   

Stuck, but not confused.

I am slowly adding a carbier items to my menu (no sugar, of course).   I’m thinking that “sugar free” can’t be all that healthy…but I am not health conscious enough to want to just eat all natural or organic.    (My spell check says “carbier” is not a word.   It is now.)

Next week, I’m going on vacation.   I’m going to try to post here while I’m out and about, a few pictures and perhaps an update or two.   Just because I’ll be on vacation, doesn’t mean I have to revert to any old eating habits I’ve gladly left behind!  I will weigh the Monday I leave, and the Monday morning that I’m back.   I fully expect a loss.  

I actually battled in my head eating pancakes at my favorite vacation pancake house.   I did (finally) rule that out…but I have to say, there was a few days there when I had decided I was going to do it!   Ultimately, I think pancakes are not worth wasting the carbs on.   (My grammar-police brain is fighting me about ending that sentence in a preposition, but I’m going to do it, anyway.)

I’m missing crackers lately.   I’ve found a low-carb cracker recipe using flax seed meal, which is gluten free, for those who need it.  Wal*Mart carries flax seed meal or about $3-$4.  In the meantime, I’m going to see how sugar free bread tastes, very toasted, to go with my chicken salad.   I’m thinking SF bread won’t taste good no matter what I do to it! 

UPDATE:   I found some flax seed bread with a net carb count of 6.  (There is bread with lower net carbs, too.)   And I found some soy flour, which is not too bad on the carb count (10 for 1/4 cup).  

Even though I’m not a Cracker Barrel lunch/dinner fan, I may be tempted to try it more often since I’ve found out they have a low carb menu!   Breakfast is a very easy meal to eat low-carb, and Cracker Barrel does have a good breakfast.

Low carb eating out is so much easier than counting calories and/or fat (a near impossibility!)   In two days, I will have been doing this low carb thing for exactly two months.   Two months without a binge!   “I am grateful” does not even begin to cover how I feel.

I hope your weight loss journey is going smoothly on a successful path, but even if it’s not, it does not define the wonderful person that you are, and that God created you to be!
