Diet Again
A bout of depression Monday night has me working on my diet again. I just couldn’t take the fact that I was losing weight and then stopped and now I just have to face that the diet wagon is right in front of me again. I’ve joined SparkPeople.com to see how that support/community goes. I’ve not had a diet community since the fiasco with TIO.
I’ve asked Master to be my personal cheerleader and so far he’s doing a fantastic job. He’s posted comments to my blog posts and guest book and he’s very positive. It’s encouraging that I might actually do this. I do have some challenges ahead; some I have to battle immediately or I will pay for them later. Foremost of those is exercise, or my lack thereof. I will be working out on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. I have strength training and cardio to do those days. Hopefully with the weather nice I can walk for the cardio and there is my toning video for the strength training. It’s all there for me, I just have to do it.
I have to face how much I eat each day and that’s a hard part too, because I don’t want to write it down. Someone on the forums of SparkPeople.com said that What you bite; you write. I’m going to give that a go.
The diet blog Thick N Thin is dying if not already dead. I think I will use the SP blog for my diet blog as well as commenting here and there about my progress if you are interested. I have a goal of 31 lbs (10%) by year’s end. I’m hoping for 1 lb this week. Problem is I don’t have a scale that will weigh me until I’m under 300, so it will be awhile until I know if I’ve lost weight, but I do have a tap measure! I will keep track of my inches so if I go down, I know that I’m at least toning if not losing in the process.
Master and I are pretty happy lately (besides my weight issue). I can’t help but smile at him whenever I can. He’s great. I’m so lucky he picked me to be his girl. Although any girl would be hard pressed to find a man as wonderful as he is. I’ll never let him go.

i love sparkpeople. i don't really participate much in the forums, etc. a little but not much. Anyway i just love it and honestly it's responsible for my weight loss more then anything else, just writing it down helps so much for me. good luck and keep the faith!
Good luck on your diet Luna. I use SP for my nutritional log and have found it very valuable. Realistically it is all those "bits and pieces" of things we happen to grab and snack on that add up (oh and that I realized I am a major condiment queen…lol). I have managed to lose 26 pounds since January so I know you can hit your goal!

I'm down 50lbs., with still a 40+ to go. I know just how hard this can be. But results help fuel that drive…and if I can do it - so can you! Keep going…you have support all around!
