HERE WE GO AGAIN...

As you all know this week started a new diet plan for me. This is day three which is suppose to be the hardest if you have a hard day. Because of the reduction of calories I could feel hungry, lightheaded, and grumpy today. Other than the lightheadedness hungry and grumpy pretty much describes my daily personality so no problem.
I am doing this because I am so very tired of the way I look and feel. I lost 90 pounds in 2009 and then in the first 9 months of 2010 put 40 pounds back on. My "new" clothes fit but not as nice as I would like. My knees are giving me problems and my blood pressure is up again. I have done a lot of research on different diets, I have tried many of them and as with all new diets I am excited about this one. I think the thing that is different this time is that I have finally admitted that I put this weight back on this year, even though I am sure anyone who looks at me can tell that. I am also on a diet where you buy the majority of the food you will eat online. When you spend $350 a month for 98% of the food you will eat in a month you are more likely to stick to the diet. I did send an email out to all my sisters and my daughters and asked them to join me on this new quest. Several said yes. I am going to weigh myself only on Monday mornings and then I will post it on here with my previous week's report on how I did. Liisa, Becky, Joleane, and Elizabeth also want to start over so I will include them in the weekly reports and we can share information on how we are each doing as well as giving us encouragement to keep going. I am very excited about this. It is almost the beginning of October, so why not join us. Even if you don't need to lose weight, please leave comments. I know your comments and encouragement have kept me going when I got down. I just got lazy this summer with the camping and BBQ. I know we can all lose the weight, whether it is 8 pounds or 80 pounds. I also know I can't do it alone. That is one of the purposes of this blog. PLEASE join us and keep adding your own comments or articles.



These pictures are not flattering at all but if I remind myself that I am wearing a pair of capri pants and remind myself that it has been at least 30 years since I wore pants then I am feeling a very tiny bit better. There is hope for me yet.
