I can't believe I have done this. Today is the second day I'm on this low carb diet. If you think two days are nothing, I invite you to try it and see how terrible you will feel in the middle of the very first day. I had a very bad headache yesterday. Today my headache was way milder. I read a lot and realized the headache is due to the decrease in blood sugar and its consequences. I am not taking the insane diet version of under 30 gm daily intake of carbs. I've had 100 gm a day so far (I mean in the 1.75 last days!). I will write more about the diet once I get to the rewarding stage which is when I already lost a few pounds. I have had this obsession with desserts forever and I always thought I got to do something about it before I will need to deal with its terrible consequences especially as I get older. Also it has been a while again that I am not happy with my weight and I am tired of too many failed trials to lose weight. I need to get rid of the 10-15 pounds I gained since last summer. The weird thing to me yesterday was that I didn't have the daydreamings I usually have when I try to cut down on desserts. I usually find myself in the middle of fantasizing that for example I am walking to Panera Bread to get a croissant, or I am at Mia Za's buying a tiramisu,... I guess yesterday I had so much headache and nausea to deal with that I didn't get luxurious problems like fantasizing!
Meeting L and hanging out with her in Milwaukee was really inspiring. She's super cool, positive and funny. It was interesting to hear it from her, whom I always thought is more or less an easygoing person, that "One shouldn't flirt with one's goals!", she laughed before finishing the sentence herself. Apparently she has bet with a few colleagues on growing six pack abs and she has started a serious bodybuilding program since February. Her body is just perfect. It was amazing to me how she wasn't even tempted to take a bite of any sort of desserts. Her determination was really admirable and made me think "C'mon girl! If you really want something, you gotta pay the price! If not then drop it!". I'm thinking of starting power yoga maybe; weightlifting is a bit too boring for me to be honest.
The spectacular thing is that I automatically have been eating fish and drinking green tea since yesterday. I used to avoid them as much as I could. Again L had this priceless statement that "It's only 50% about work out, the other 50% is about what you eat and how you live"; then she continued that "Bodybuilding is an art. The major difference with other forms of art is that the masterpiece you are working on is alive! You literally build your body". We again laughed at her deep philosophical statement and analogy together. I guess she has really changed something in my conscious as well as my subconscious. I mean it! We'll see where this whole thing goes.
