OK, so mis-calculated I was still under my 1200 calories and like I said waaaaay under
my 150g. carb limit. Matt has been real supportive today, especially when I was read to scarf down supper, and he told me to slow down and enjoy it. He is also doing well on his diet, but like I said we both have a headache from lack of over-eating.

The Day Before

Well this is my last day before I start my diet, and I am scared that I won't be able to do it. I am scared of the headaches I will get, the cravings I will have to ignore, and many more other little doubts that pop into my head a million times a day.

The Dr wants me to lose atleast 10lbs. by the end of November. She wants to see if exercise and a low-carb diet will bring down my blood sugar so she doesn't have to treat me as prediabetic. My husband and kids will be walking with me at night. Matt is restarting his slimfast diet that he did a couple of years ago, because it worked so well. He just gained some back because he was unemployed for a year. My kids just need to get more active, and grow into their weight.

I want to use this blog as a daily counter for calories and carbs, also to keep busy in those idle times I am bored, and to see my progress hopefully. I am not here to preach to others of how well my diet will work because I don't know.

I need to stay as close to 1200 calories a day and 130-150g of carbs.
