My Steps To A Healthier Me: 2010

Welcome

This blog was created to help me on my way to weightloss. I hope to realize what I can change, how to stick with it, and to keep track of my journeys progress.
I'm not following a particular plan. I have collected several different diets over the years, and some guidelines have changed since then, so I'm trying to build my own, that works well with my schedule and grocery funds!
I'm sure there will be interesting meals ahead...
I've posted my fat pictures as well as some of my younger days, for smiles, and will add more as I progress in my challenge to myself...hope you enjoy them. :)
I would appreciate feedback (hopefully positive), suggestions and 'good things to know', and if you would just like to chat, thats ok too!
Thanks for stopping by!

Funny...I started this blog 3 years ago, January 5, 2010, with the images of a healthier, stronger, and skinnier body dancing in my head... as I said, 3 years ago... and those images are still dancing in my head, and NOT what I SEE in my mirror!
Yes... I failed again, 3 precious years gone forever... NOT extending my time with those I love, NOT running and playing with my grandchildren and great-grandson, NOT effortlessly moving about my normal daily routine! I can ONLY blame myself, for disappointing my family and friends... AND myself... AGAIN!
Then a wonderful thing happens... God gives me a chance to start brand new each day, every morning that I open my eyes, I am blessed with a new start toward my goal!
So I start again...
I am seriously obese... I said it... dangerously OVER WEIGHT! I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea, just to start the list.
My weight this morning is 287 POUNDS! Now it's out in the open... I am telling you this because I need HELP, I have NO self control... I am good for a couple of days then I forget what I’m fighting for! That’s where you ALL come in!
I am asking for your candid comments, helpful hints, do’s and don’ts, and encouragement. If you see me starting to put something on my plate that is not diet friendly, PLEASE... call me out on it, YOU may be helping me save my LIFE!!
Thank you in advance.... for caring :-)

I guess the best way is to eat sensibly every 3 hours...trouble is, I can't afford to eat that often!

I started the day well ..
oatmeal, 1sl. ww toast, oj, and coffee, carrots for snack, lunch of lean roast pork loin sandwich and pepsi. I have to go grocery shopping today since I don;t have any more veggies and stuff for the week.
I've been invited to a singles social event tonight, and there will be finger food offered, so if I'm careful I'll be ok in the eating department! I have never been to a gathering of this type before...so I'm nervous to say the least! Knowing me...I'll probably chicken out!

Checking to see if I set up my mobile blogging successfully!

How to start?

I started this blog...knowing just what I was gonna do, step by step, and how I was gonna do it! Alas my procrastinator personality took over, and I'm still trying to write my first blog!! At least I got my feet wet...now I gotta jump in!
