No more fooling around....

My weight is sitting at about 195-196 right now. I had surgery three weeks ago (hysterectomy) and right after my weight was 193. I have only worked out two times since the surgery and I feel like a big fat slob. Its so weird how you feel so much fatter then the scale actually shows. My muscle tone goes away very fast if I dont exercise and turns right to jello. I feel discusting and I'm tired of it. I feel strong enough now to get back on the wagon. Starting Monday I will be really counting my calories and I think I'm going to start paying attention to carbs. I will not be going carb free but I think Ive been over doing it in the carb area and that is why I am not loosing weight very fast. On a negative note...the more weight I loose the thinner my face gets and all my wrinkles show. I'm starting to look old. Gone are the rosy blush cheeks. I know its just the process of aging but Its a little disheartening. I'm hoping to come to a place where I can accept how I look and just roll with it. Even though surgery set me back a little, I think I can regain control. For some reason after the surgery (I kept one ovary) my appetite went through the roof. I wasn't necessarily eating junk, but I was eating more then before and I also craved honey toast and ate a lot of that during recovery. That's why I think the carb thing needs to be monitored. LOL I have NO IDEA why I needed to eat more after surgery but it scared me to think about gaining all my weight back. Ive noticed a slow down in my appetite now and that makes me feel better. Ill post more later. I need to get my measurements and post them just so I can keep up with that. Ill see about pictures as well to help me stay motivated. Its amazing what a full length picture can do for your appetite...it takes it right away.

Rebekah, I have a few websites for you!

www.elanaspantry.com This website is AMAZING. Did you know you can take some raw almonds and throw them in a blender or food processor and make the most amazing chocolate chip cookies from this "almond flour"?! NO CARBS!

www.primal-palate.com
www.marksdailyapple.com

And finally, this a recipe for the most amazing, soft, delicious bread...made from almond butter!!! (or peanut butter) You can sub the almond butter or make it with peanut butter, but if you do almond butter you can add 2 tbs of cinnamon and a little maple syrup or honey to the dough and it will be the most amazing cinnamon breakfast bread! yum yum http://247lowcarbdiner.blogspot.com/2011/03/mr-peanut-sandwich-bread.html

My family is paleo/primal due to one of my son's allergies, but weight has melted off of us. It's not low carb because you can eat things like fruit and sweet potatoes, but it's grain free, white sugar free, corn free, and white potato free. Anyhow, at the very least these websites have some amazing recipes! :)

I hardly leave comments, but i did some searching and wound up here "No more fooling around....".
And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it seem like a few of these comments come across like left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online sites, I would like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Could you list of every one of all your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
