Well, here I am about a quarter of the way through and I haven’t seen too much progress in the weight loss area,  about 8 lbs. but I am feeling better and I really think I am improving my health. This is tough for me. I am not being all perfect at the eating thing but I am adding in better choices each day. I don’t want a short term result where I went on a crash diet and starved myself. I am trying to just make some lifetime changes for myself and my family. I am working out pretty good right now and it feels great.

Monday’s seem to have become the day of reckoning for me. It’s the day that all the good things I did for my health pay off and the few treats or bad things I ate, weigh in-literally!

My weight seems to be decreasing at about one painful pound per week. I think my cholesterol must be going down too. Anyway, it is a battle that’s for sure. I am going to work out hard today!

See ya soon.

Well here I am in beautiful San Francisco where there is food galore! I am trying to take it slow but I have a feeling pizza could happen today. I am trying to remember this is a lifestyle change. I will let you know how I do!!

Well here I am a forty two year-old woman who has been battling my weight, cholesterol and borderline blood pressure for a few years. This is the third week of this program and I am doing well. Of course I wish the scales would have dropped more dramatically, but overall I am pleased. I am learning to like vegetables and fill my plate with them. I am struggling with exercising seven days a week I actually have missed three days, so today I am going to the gym.

I really don’t want to look at this as something that has a time frame. I am trying to change my eating habits for good. I have been a faithful exerciser for a few years now but it isn’t enough. I have a whole new respect for those, like my perfect husband who eat healthy foods all the time. I guess it’s called self control. But food has always been my vice.  I am gearing up some inner strength though because my desire to live for my son and family has to be stronger than my desire to eat bad and live a shorter, less fulfilled life! I’m going to do it!

I’ll check in later.
