Not for me

So, high protein/low carb = not for me.  I tried it in the past and I hated it.  I couldn't stick to it.  I tried it again, knowing I wouldn't stick with it forever, but thought maybe a couple weeks or a month.  Nope, I lasted 2 days.  I find it way too difficult to get enough fiber eating this way and by last night, I went to bed feeling like I swallowed a brick.  After each meal, my stomach hurt.  I felt like vomiting almost all weekend and I felt sad. This morning, the thought of eating sausage or eggs made me want to gag.  So, I'm back to doing less calories consumed than burned.  I feel more freedom this way.  I will, however, incorporate more high protein snacks into my diet.  Especially on workout days.

Other than that, I spent a good portion of my weekend back-to-school shopping for my kiddos.  They all still need shoes, supplies and haircuts, but we made good headway in the clothes department!  Just 2 more weeks from today until they go back.  This summer has flown by!
