SS...

In an attempt to change my life... and to improve my health (thus making it possible for me to watch my son grow up & Lord willing reach retirement age) I have begun a weight loss regimine..

Since coming to my decision... April 6th 2004... I have begun to exercise.. now walking atleast 3 miles a day and completing a 30 minute workout at the local Curves. I park further away from my destination.. and I am spending more and more time outdoors.

I am sure that you have heard on the local radio station (since we live in the same area) advertisements for a place called "Professional Weight Management" I joined there in the beginning of April. This is NOT a cheap program (it costs me $40.00 a week plus).. but it is working.

I have set my goal at 13 months to lose the amount that I need to lose... it is a realistic goal... and I will make it.

My menu EVERY DAY is:
Breakfast:
2 hard boiled eggs OR 1 6 oz cup of Yoplait Lite

2 hours later I have a "suppliment" which is a power bar that is part of the Program (and yeah.. they are pretty good)

Lunch:
5 ounces of chicken (or fish... or beef/pork two times a week max)
2 cups of Veggies

2 hours later... another suppliment bar

Dinner
Same as lunch

Just before bedtime... 1 suppliment (cereal which isn't bad either).

In addition to the exercise... I drink a minimum of 68 ounces of water... most often more.

The weight is coming off slowly.. but it is... and even tho I have the "need" for a quick result to be apparent.. I know that not only is it not gonna happen that way.. but that studies show that quick weight loss is gained back quickly... slow and steady is the key... and exercise.

This is one of the main reasons why I haven't been around Pixies so much... spending time taking inventory of my life..and my needs.. and taking the steps necessary to improve my position in my world.. I miss so many here.. (((Hugs to everyone)))

I wish you all the luck in the world SS... You can do this..
