Hi Anne- Thanks Anne. Actually, I've been feeling kinda fed-up for quite a while (about the lack of weight loss mainly). I've tried to stay cheerful but in the past couple of weeks, I've been feeling tired, sleepy & just exhausted. This afternoon, I finally decided to have a good rant
BTW, Anne, I still feel very tired but I'm feeling way better mentally after reading your kind words
Hi Lynn- Thank u so much, Lynn (BTW, that's a SEXY name!). Thank u for your input & encouragement. And thank u for taking the time to read my journal
I never ate any salad or veggies b4 this WOL, I was a fruit-person. When I was a little kid, my mum used to lock me in the bathroom for hours because I refused to eat my greens (but still I never ate my greens).I'm averaging 2-3 cups of salad a day. I eat some veggies too.
I use quite a bit of black pepper, soy sauce & stuff in my cooking & they've carbs (I always forget to put them in Fitday). I'm pretty sure that my actual carb-intake is higher than what I post in my journal. However, I'll try my best to eat more salad & veggies from now on (I know they'll do me good).
I'm taking 2 multi vitamins & minerals tablets (I checked my DANDR & I'm getting the required supplements' doses), a vitamin E soft-gel capsule & 2 cod liver oil capsules daily.
I'd love to get a "trace" on the ketostix but all I get in "negative" (I only get a positive reading after I have fatty food, like walnuts or cream cheese). I don't have ketone breath & my urine smells normal instead of funky, why?
I'll try to lower my protein-intake, up my good-carb-intake (greens) & up my fat-intake.
I'm not giving up
Thank u for your help, Anne & Lynn.
Have a great weekend!
regards,
Bebe
PS. Note to myself.
I've abused my body with slimming drugs & yoyo dieting for years. I could've died from a slimming-drug-overdose (It happens quite often in HK) but thank god, I'm still alive
I should be grateful instead of bit*hing about the lack of weight loss. From now on, I'm gonna be much more positive
