June... I turn 66 this month.. when am I going to change things in my life? I certainly have changed my work..doing my magazine, but it is time to change my eating habits...190 the other day...

Well, so far nothing has worked... but then again I haven't put in a lot of effort. I think now I will try something different... how about becoming a Nutritarian? Never heard of it? Neither had I until a few days ago. Reading a book on it now.. says it will make me healthy again.. no more heart problems.. (I have Coronary Artiery Disease) and one stent.. and am on lots of medicine... blood pressure, statin, etc. I want to get off of all of them... what do you think? It all sounds good.. so that is what I am going to do.. Here goes my journey.. join me if you would like.

What about Garcinia Cambogia?

Have you heard about Garcinia Cambogia? Do you think it works at all? Does it help you lose weight? I don't know but I think I will try it and see what happens. Beginning tomorrow I will take some, stay on a low calorie diet ( 1200 to 1500 cals a day) and see what happens. I don't think it will help, but the only way to know or be sure is to try it. If it works on me, it will work on anybody. I have only been losing 1 pound a week, let's see if this will help me lose more... the test begins.

I'm Doing it, slowly but surely

I am now on my way and sure of it. I have learned a big thing... if I go off my diet for one meal... don't say "I just blew it, might as well eat anything now" I go right back to my better way of eating immediately. I am losing slow, but I am losing consistent. I am now down to 179. I won't make the 170 for vacation in a few weeks, but that's ok. I change my diet occasionally and that's the way I like it. Right now I am doing vegan, eating LOTS of fruits and veggies, but when I get bored I will change to either low carb OR Let's do lunch . These are my favorite 3 ways of eating. There might be a 90 day low carb challenge starting next week, so I might go with that. But the GOOD NEWS IS THAT I AM LOSING AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. I got a smart phone Sunday and am sooooooooo excited. I can post photos on facebook and send by email... I just love it. Have a great day!! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SON DAVID WHO JUST TURNED 38, AND MY GRANDSON HAYDEN WHO JUST TURNED 9. LOVE YOU BOTH VERY MUCH!!

ON MY WAY!! For sure this time.

OK, eating low carb for me is the best way to lose. I am down now to 181 and am line dancing 2 times a week, swimming 1 or 2 times a week, and riding my bicycle once a week right now. Hope to do that more when the weather is not so hot! Going to Florida in October, and want to be down to about 170 by then if I can... will stick with it. Finding lots of good recipes and such to eat, makes it better.

Changing back to Low Carb Eating

I have been on WW for over a week and not lost anything, so today I am back on the Low Carb eating plan. I seem to do much better when eating this way... so I will go back to this. So I continue on.. to my goals.

Off for a few days

I get off at 2 today, heading for Shreveport for the night and then home tomorrow and off Friday also. But, I have stayed on my diet, and WILL stay on it even while out of town. Brought some fruit to nibble on, not junk food. I will not weigh again until next Monday... only weighing once a week is hard but I need to do that. I feel so good about myself right now because I am doing this!!
