Spirit, I went low-carb before I stopped drinking, it's easier for me since I can't eat gluten anyway as I have celiac disease. I thought when I stopped drinking, the weight would roll off me and that has NOT happened. VERY frustrating. I returned to the gym on Saturday and yesterday. I do feel deprived though, no sweets, no carbs, no alcohol.....it sucks. I go for blood tests tomorrow and hoping at least there I will see some improvement.
It sounds like this group just keeps getting stronger and stronger, I am so proud of us! And when we do slip we are strong enough to come back and get back in the group. I was wondering about Artica also, haven't heard from her in awhile.
Have a great day (even though it is tax day here in the ol' US of A)
