My Journey Through Life

Have decided to go back to using the My Fitness Pal site and app. I for some reason feel overwhelmed by Sparkpeople. I know it is completely mental and I think it is because I was so involved before that I am avoiding it now. I don't mean to put Sparkpeople down; it is a great site and it is free but I can't do everything. I have the app for MyFitnessPal on my tablet so it is very easy for me to use. I will check to see if Sparkpeople has an app like that, if they do, I will give it a try.  Out of town a couple nights this week - that is a big challenge at the start of my attempt to eat a healthier diet. Wish me luck!

I want, no I NEED to lose 50 pounds!  I am so sick of the lose and gain - lose and gain roller coaster.  I hate the idea of tracking calories, but I went back to Sparkpeople today.  If I follow the meal plan, I don't have to actually count calories, just eat what the plan tells me.  Maybe this time I can get a jump start and then just get used to eating a healthy, balanced diet.  Exercise is one key ingredient to my success.  Total Gym. here I come!

What are friends for if not to help give us a gentle nudge when we are being lazy?  Got an email today from my friend Foxy who had visited my blog only to find that I haven't posted in over a year!  Thanks buddy!! I started looking through some other people's blogs trying to come up with ideas of something I could post on a regular basis that would do two things: 1. be of some interest to other people 2. be of enough interest to me that I will post regularly Maybe some photos, or maybe I could get myself back on track of my supposed healthy lifestyle.  I am a mess and I need to get moving!  I hate to go back to calorie counting, but that may be the only way that I can lose this tonnage! I have been taking pictures of our flowers and if I do say so myself, some of them are pretty nice. I hope others will enjoy them!
