Obsessed!

Hello All,
I have been tempted not to blog until I got out of my mental rut but on my walk today I did some thinking and I will tell you what's been going on with me. I feel likeI am becoming obssessed with losing weight! I have become obsessed with what diet I am actually going to stick with once I am done nursing my daughter. THAT IS WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS! First of all, I shouldnt think about it so much. Secondly, my goal is total health and fitness, i don't have to be a perfect number on the scale; atleast that is what I try to tell myself. The more I think about lowering my carbohydrate intake in any way, I start obsessing abut chocolate. I keep going over in my head the times that I used the Atkins diet to quickly lose weight and feel better. I know that every single time I was successful at it I put on lots more weight once I stopped dieting. Mayb the problem is that i never followed the Atkins diet to a T after the induction phase. I was always so ready to start eating carbs again. I am thinking more along the lines of A Low fat version of the Atkins diet... I dunno. The IR diet really is great, it doesn't stop me from havig anything, and that is what I need. It just seems like being allowed to have everything but having to eat certain things in moderation just seems too lenient. I have got to get it together in my head. FAST!   I think that I am thinking too hard about it!

On a lighter note, I am still being active. I am walking about an hour per day (most days) I even started a push up challenge a few days ago and love the way my body feels.They have a sit- upchallenge too. I might try  that once I finish with the push-ups. Just a little over 2 weeks and I will be able to run again! Not being able to run has really put a damper on my spirits but there is so much to be thankful for, I need to jsut get over this little hump and keep pushing. There are so many of you that have done alot more than lil ol me. I can do this!!! Thanks for reading!
