I'm back! Jan. 21, 2011 224.5

Well, it doesn't look like I've made much progress in 7 months, does it. I'm pretty much the same weight as I was last summer. At least I didn't gain another 20-30 pounds like I've been doing over the last 3 years. My highest was 231 around New Year's Day. Last Tuesday I was 227.5. My goal is to lose 20 pounds by the JUGS spring show. 10 weeks away. This had been a good week so far, with the exception of Wed. night. I went a little crazy eating while fixing supper.

Yesterday was excellent. Good choices. Probably under 24 points. I'm not really keeping track of points, but mentally check to see where I'm at each day as a guide. Mostly I want to eat healthy, eat smaller portions, choose veggies and fruit before bread, drink water, pass up unhealthy food. I'm writing down each day's food and writing challenges and positives.

It has to be now. I'm 53 and don't want to spend the rest of my life fat. I want to wear fun clothes and more of a variety, instead of black pants, navy pants, brown pants, start over. Be positive. Today should be easy--the fish fry choices might be difficult, but I won't be home much. Stay busy tomorrow. Gone most of Sunday.

I haven't weighed under 225 since I had the flu in November. Goal: under 210 by the spring show.
