Thanks for commenting neurodoc!
It's sad when ya lose weight one week, then it comes back and brings friends!
My lower carb approach is nothing as drastic as say, Atkins! In fact, it is pretty easy to stay under the 60-80 gms a day. It seems pretty moderate in comparison. I don't feel deprived and I am not going to bed hungry.
When I did weight watchers, I was always hungry and felt deprived; regardless of the points system...I was a cranky dieter.
Straight calorie counting I do not think I have ever done. I periodically log my foods at fitday, but do not always have time or access.
Lately, I have been considering the purchase of a fitbit or a gowearfit to log activity and sleep. the GWF also has food log ability; but has a monthly membership fee for the website.
As for exercise; I have my moments. It's not everyday, and some days I do way more than others. For instance this weekend we were walking all over the river banks and beach sand. That's a workout!
As I mentioned in Florida girls post; I don't like excercise but if I must...I prefer exercise that doesn't feel like exercise. I do like walking, though a treadmill tends to bore me. I like the Wii fit and playing with my kids. Both are on sport teams, we are always at a ballpark and walking is a necessity, and lots of it! Videos, I have however motivation can sometimes be an issue for me.
I have had those reebok easy tone sneakers since May...LOVE THEM! Just by wearing them while I carry out my daily errands and whatnot, I have lost inches on my hips and thighs. Even the husband has noticed! He commutes weekly to and sometimes bi-weekly. I had not noticed daily, but as he told me, "I'm not always around you...believe me, I notice when things change, and this is an awesome change!"
