My #1 problem......

is not following threw.  I am all excited and planned and prepped for the week, but Wednesday/Thursday rolls around and boom I hit a lazy spot.  I don't eat what I have planned, I will order something in, or just will munch of things rather then just cooking my supper or packing a decent lunch.

How do I improve that?  I don't know.  I am hoping this week will be better and I can stick to what I have planned out.  Perhaps, my problem is boredom of not eating something I actually want, rather then just eating healthy veggies and good meats?  I have to maybe just find recipes or ways to make my food more exciting or flavorful so that I don't get bored?

On the exercise front, I went for a walk with the dog yesterday and I am sure out of shape again.  I was so exhausted, my back was hurting.  I need to get my body back the way it was, used to exercising....and with 20 lbs back on, it will make it harder then it was.

Goal for this week:  Stick to the plan, stay focused, stay away from the bad food isles in the store.

17 Day Diet

The hottest, well maybe not hottest but one of the newest diets being tried by many people these days.  Everyone that I know that is doing it, is losing weight fast and consistently, so I decided to order the book.  I am patiently waiting for it to arrive, which is supposed to be Monday.  I know the ins and outs of what to do to start, pretty much cut out all carbs.   I've been on really restricted diets before and they have worked, so I am hoping this will work for me.

I have noticed the past couple days that my blood sugar is really effed up.  The other day at work I had extreme shakes, and then about a month ago while driving my vision was a bit blurred.  First time that has happened to me.  Since putting at least 20 labs back on I fell my self going back into the slump I was before.  And, going up and down in weight isn't good for the body at all.  Soon I won't be able to wear my newish jeans anymore, I know my summer pants won't fit me.  So I am needing to nip this in the butt before I am able to wear those clothes again.

I am planning on starting the diet Monday.  The toughest thing for me will be the no sugar, Lord knows I love my chocolate and candy.  But this is something I have to do.
