Well, it is not a gain...

Between you and me - this is getting a little frustrating. OK, maybe a lot frustrating! And the worse part is I know that it all falls on me. I know that I can change this. There is more I can do (exercise...ugh!) and trim back my carbs for a couple of weeks but I just haven't done it. What is with that? Is it just our sin nature? We know what is right but still don't do it. The last few weeks have been packed from morning to night. My weight has been one of the farthest things from my mind...and then *BANG* it is Friday morning and as I get on the scale I just think about all the things I SHOULD have done this week. Don't get me wrong - I'm not depressed but just feeling the pressure of the very public goal I set for myself...especially when life seems to get in the way.

I don't have an answer to any of this but I do know that it is time to lean on those who know more about this than me. So, Jimmy Page and I will be meeting to talk about this and figure out what I can do to break through this wall. I will let you know what we decide. In the meantime, you stay strong and keep moving forward!

Live Well, Live Healthy!

Ok, I finally feel like I'm getting back on track. It was a good week with food but I have decided that I am going to help kick-start my system by cutting back on my carbs next week. one of the great things about the SupperThyme Fast Tack program is that I can choose my own meals each week. So, if I want to cut back on carbs, I just order more eggs, fish and veggies and less of the meals with pasta (Eventhough it is low-carb, it still has some).

Let me encourage you to focus on your eating this summer. Many people think Winter is the toughest time to lose weight. However, I believe that summer poses the biggest threat. Days at the pool, beach, picnics, cookouts, amusement parks and so-on. Planning is the key! It is not my strongest suit. I have to work to make sure that I have the things (food & snacks) I need. Ones that will work with what ever situation I'm going into. Also, check websites for amusement parks and restaurants to find the places that have meals and snacks that would be healthier. Most parks have at least a few spots to take care of those of us working to stay (or get) healthy.

I hope that helps! Let's make this a great summer!

Live Well, Live Healthy!
