Ok, so I figured out that calorie counting was not working for me. After coming off the pain killers after surgery in March, I was too drawn to carbs.
At my daughter's baby shower, I ate cake, chips, etc... and my face and hands were swollen the net day. Blood pressure has been going up, etc...
Now I am on Atkins again. Just completed the first week and the water is coming off, blood pressure coming down. Yeah!
A lot of stress in the house from my husbands job and family is coming for a month starting in July. Here's hoping I can stick to the plan and start feeling a lot better.
