So this is a new beginning. Bring on the trumpets!
This is my diet blog. I have decided to document my journey, mainly for myself, as a way of keeping sane throughout the process. If others choose to join me in this journey-great! If I can be of support to people who are on this journey with me, even better.
I want to stress from the outset that this is a fad diet-free zone! My reasons for losing weight are mostly for health reasons, and in actual fact the weight loss is less important than getting myself back into regular exercise and healthy eating. It's more an 'added bonus'. I won't say it's not a tempting bonus, I know I'd love to get back into my skinny jeans again, but I have early onset osteoporosis and I can guarantee that my cholesterol is off the charts right now. So I want to be fit, healthy, full of energy and well again! You won't see me doing something ridiculous like the cabbage soup diet, or exercising to exhaustion. Nor will you see me dying to be ridiculously thin. I like my curves!
No, this is mostly a path back to greater wellness. It's also a way to explore some of the issues behind my emotional eating. So if you want to come on this journey- all aboard! You are most welcome.
I support you in your quest to gain health in body, mind and spirit. I've been where you are. The most successful plan for me has been: freshly juiced veggies in the am, sensible exercise (I like to run, but pick your own), adequate sleep, and most important of all...patience. Wishing you great luck and much success.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Lynnaire. I just joined weight watchers for the umpteenth time. I hit a big birthday in four months and I'd like to be on my way to goal by then.
ReplyDeleteI am turning over a new leaf like you. I look forward to reading your blogs
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration
