I am working this year at continuing my weight loss. I am part of a 28 day challenge through the encouragement of a good friend of mine. She is concerned about peoples health and the company she works for (Medi-Fast) has organized a 28 day challenge. At first I thought about getting back as radical as i was earlier last year to lose a bunch of weight and win a $1000. But then common sense kicked in and I decided I need to do something that is sustainable for the rest of my life. I am thankful to Sheila for helping me get back on track and get back to eating healthy and smart. My goal is to lose between 1 1/2 - 3 pounds a week. I eating smarter by watching portions, walking more, drinking more water and trying to get more sleep. When I do these things I feel better and maybe this old dog can be taught some new tricks.
Another part of what I am doing to help me with eating smarter is being part of a weight management class offered through my employer. I figure you can never have enough help as long as you stay focused and your help is teaching basically the same thing. Last week I lost 4 lbs and hope to go at least another 3 or so this week. The weigh in on Wednesday will tell.
Even though I am being a little more sensible this time I am still very thankful for Dr. Scott and the program I went through with him because He gave me my life back and going through his program showed me how much better I feel when I eat right and lose weight.
I will admit it is hard to be good when I stopped at 7-11 this morning to get a newspaper and they are selling their chocolate donuts 2 for $1.50 and the chocolate donuts from 7-11 are out of this world. They are from Dunford Bakeries. I am tempting myself right now and I am sitting at my computer. Better reach for my water bottle and some celery. Okay, not as good as a donut but it will due. LOL. Off to do other things for awhile.
