Day 2
Today I have been so busy I haven't noticed a lot of change other than the fact that I had a slight headache this morning. I think it was from lack of sleep. I had blood work done today and should know the results on Friday. I have had no sugar and am feeling fine. I even bought the kids icecream and had none. I just had a yummy sandwhich with wheat sandwhich thins, turkey, sprouts, bell pepper, cucumber and I spread a laughing cow cheese wedge instead of mayo. It was delicious.
I'm taking the kids to the pool and plan to do my walking there in the water. Last night I ate a baked potatoe with the skin on it. I didn't add anything and it was fine. The idea is to eat it 3 hours after dinner and right before bed. I'm up to chapter 5 in the book. It's talking about highs and lows of sugar and not eating on a regular basis. It all makes sense. I am curious about sugar substitutes like Stevia. It is a plant and very sweet. I will let you know what I find out.
Thank you to my followers and especially for the comments. It's nice to get online and know someone is reading my postings. I am hoping with the changes I'm making I will be able to get my weight down and teach myself to eat better. We all know that if we don't fix whats in our head nothing will change. We will lose the weight and gain it back and then some. I'm thinking baby steps this time. It probably won't be quick but hopefully permanent.

Eating this stuff is killing me. I'd be fine if I could stop at just a bite or two but I will eat the whole bag of popcorn. It's an addiction. Yes I am over weight go figure. If I was 6'8" like my spouse I would be a knock out. Well I'm 5'8" so you get the picture. Speaking of which I saw myself in some recent pics and was horrified. I always have the best intentions. Anyway I met with a personal trainer and she told me to read this book called Potatoes not Prozac. I started reading it and WOW it is me in a nutshell. So I thought I would continue to read and follow the guidelines of the book and see if this will work for me. I know we all want the quick fix. That has not worked for me yet. Here is what I am going to do.
1. Walk a mile a day
2. Eat no white stuff
3. Drink no soda.
4. Blog it all
I will keep you posted so check back and let me know what you think.

Going off Sugar

I got up this morning feeling miserable. I felt like my skin was sore. My joints feel swollen and so does my face. It all started with me eating everything I want....... I keep telling myself I am going to get on my program. "My program" Is eating healthy and exercising. You know the same "program" we are all going to start tomorrow. Well it seems like everyday I am going to get on it but the best intentions end about the time my stomach growls or I see something good to eat. Something with sugar or a chocolate anything.

I guess I should go back and tell you how come I feel so bad then maybe you will understand. Last week I took my Aunt to Anchorage to catch a plane back to California. It was fun. My mother, myself and my Aunt all went. We stopped at a famous candy store ( I think the candy is crap and don't know why it's famous but it is) and a delicious bread store (we got the giant cinnamon roll loaf and the yummy white chocolate cherry bread. It is awesome) and bought all kinds of goodies. Then we got some of our favorite popcorn from the mall. This isn't just popcorn this stuff is candy coated with macadamia nuts. It is heavenly. Anyway I had all these goodies and brought them home to share
