Oh my, it's July alread, my weight has gone up and down the last few months depending on how motivated I am. Well I'm motivated now.....

Why you asked? I just heard that my oldest sister had an abdominal banding procedure done to help her lose weight.

We don't have health insurance so that procedure is definitely out of the question for me.....not to mention that I'm an avowed coward and the thought of surgery makes me break out in a cold sweat.

She did it because she is turning 60 and wants to enjoy her grandchildren.

We are expecting our first grandchild in January and it is a great motivator. ( So new month, new diet, new eating restrictions and exercise.)

This one is Michael Thurmond's 6 week body make-over. According to the book I have the worst metabolism so consequently have the worst tasting meal plan. The good news is that you can eat 6 meals a day. The bad news is that it taste so bad you don't want to eat at all!

So here's the dilemma: Do I do this program knowing that it works and just adjust to turkey, chicken and fish 6 times a day with so many greens that I should be a rabbit? Or do I rebell and continue doing things that I know are self-destructive .

When you write it out like this there doesn't seem to be a choice . So pass the chicken and greens please. I'm sure I can do without salt, fat, sugar, and taste.

Mood: (You don't want to know!)
