Dang... life has happened! I am now a proud card carrying member of the LapBansters!!!! My insurance DID cover it and so far I'm down 45 lbs! More later....

My dear dear dear friend Claritta came looking for me ... I'm here, I'm eating off plan, and I'm guilty... it is a constant struggle for me, I even looked at some Lap Band sites, thinking that if I couldn't physically eat so much I would be ok... (NOTE: LapBanders HAVE to eat a mainly low carb diet anyway... Protein first... ) which is why I just stubbornly set my jaw before and ate low carb to lose the weight.... plus my insurance doesn't cover ANY thing like that.... I'll be back.. I KNOW it is what I must do.. it is daily.

I'm off work early today and lounging in the comfort of a hotel room complete with an in room hot tub... some major "stuff" hit the fan this morning at work, and I'm not looking forward to telling my boss about it when he returns on Monday..... but the good news is, I packed some LC goodies.. (I made cheese crisps.. YUM) to keep me strong... I'm down again... 231.2... It is amazingly slower this time, I guess my body is punishing me for all the restarts and stops over the last year, but you know what??? I WILL WIN My battle. TGIF!

Happy Thursday! I did awesome on the water and the eating yesterday... I managed to get in 124 oz of ice cold water, my vitamins, and stayed out of the kitchen at night. I know that I do best when I eat my carb heaviest meal of the day for lunch, and also, I learned a long time ago that I also have to watch the AMOUNT that I eat. I woke up to a loss today 231.4... the journey back to ONEderland is well underway. I was talking to my mom last night, and talking about my chicken taco salad for dinner, and how amazing it was that I had visibly packed on so much weight since October... we both agreed that it was weird how a person could gain a little weight and it didn't show up but then one day WHAM! a person balloons.... which in my case seemed to happen... in October I had gained back some weight but I could still fit into my 12's... then all of a sudden one day I decided my 12's were too tight... so I pulled out my 14's and then 16's and dang it... if they weren't WAY too tight too! The only saving grace is that I HAVE the TOOLS and TECHNOLOGY to get in them again...... it just takes time.......... off to refill my waterglass!

I've been working on the updates to this page... I am also on day 3 of plan. Need to get my water in though, I know that if I get at least 100 oz's in I will shed the water weight. Today I weighed in at 233... a loss.. albeit not a big one, but a loss all the same. So far today I've had my coffee w/sf creamer, splenda, 2 hb eggs, and about 40 oz's of water. I plan to have a bunless cheeseburger a few florets of cauli and ranch for lunch....... dinner is on me tonight since CIC is working late.... hoping for a loss tomorrow.

If you made it here you most likely saw my intro on the main page...... the many, many, many months of backsliding has resulted in a needed reality check! I have regained all the way back up to a tight size 18...... yes I had to buy some clothes that fit, yes, I stare at those 10/12's in my closet just begging me to stay on plan again....
Today is day 2 of being back on plan. I am still with Charles, and we know that we will end up getting married... truth is... we are married all except for the actual ring and ceremony.... joint accounts, blended family, home improvements, and a happy life... he cooks, and that is a nice change, but also a bad one... he gets offended if I don't eat what he cooks, and refuses to cook anything remotely low carb, but all are some of my well honed excuses to get fat again........ truth is, I'm miserable in this body that I thought was gone forever.... the cute old Navy capri jeans that were falling off me last year, now won't go over my thighs... If I could just kick my own ass, I would..... but finally

Almost a month has passed since my last update...... we've been going non stop.... I'm still struggling to stay on plan, and have declared ICE CREAM as the enemy! Life if good...... I'm in love for life, and it is a weird feeling..... We just went to a Rally over Labor Day ... here is a pic of us as we headed out on the highway..... and then one of me with the boys at Cabellas....
Me and the boys at Cabella's........ this to me is what life is all about... being with the love of your life & best, raising kids, blending our families and riding motorcycles......

OK, so it has been way over a year since I updated this page! I had forgotten about my website but a person from LCF reminded me of it and told me it needed updating, so here I am! As I type this, I am relosing a few pounds that I gained because of my being weak during the beginning of a new relationship.. HE COOKS! Anyway I am very happy to report that as I sit and type this message, I am wearing a pair of Levis Size 10 capris jeans (stretch) I can feel the control come back, now that I had a long talk with the BF about how LC works for me. I can not beging to tell all you fine people every single detail of how losing 76 lbs in my mid 30's makes me feel....I post daily on Low Carb Friends, you will find me in the Century Club. I have made lots of friends and it keeps me accountable to myself! YOU are not alone in this journey.. and on LCF you will see long time Low Carbers that have lost upwards of 300 lbs..... some of the most noteable inspirations are Jeff (GonnaBeLean) Mary (CartBabe) Nicole (GwnSteffani) JillyBug...my good buddy Claritta (going_down) and SOOOOOOO many others. These people are lifers... Cartbabe has been at it for 4 years now, and let me tell you she looks like her before pics DAUGHTER...Check out the link and look for the picture threads.. YOU WILL BE INSPIRED!
I'm off to fill my water glass and eat some breakfast caserole! Have a great LC Day, Tracy.................
Life is GOOD!

I am now down 22.5 lbs and my capri pants are really getting loose around the waist.... I have already lost 6 inches from various parts of my body... but the best change is in my self control.

Today is my one month anniversary for returning to this WOL..... In the last 30 days I've dropped 19.5 lbs,

so bad I can taste it!!!! Right now I'm in a snug 18. OK, enough for now.... I'm going back to my favorite place on the net!
