I must confess that I love pudding. I have been pretty good today, but did let myself have a sugar-free pudding cup. Do you think that’s cheating? I know it doesn’t have sugar in it, but wonder about eating anything I don’t absolutely need. And in terms of getting healthy, well, doesn’t sugar-free usually mean chemicals instead? I’m not sure it really lines up with what I want to do and wonder if I’m wavering already – is it the first step towards failure? I hope not because, well, I love pudding! Especially chocolate!

I guess if I focus on my first goal the other can be left to deal with another day – Rome wasn’t built in a day, right? and so I guess I don’t have to be perfect. Maybe that’s my underlying reason for being overweight in the first place. I don’t know. I don’t want to analyze it too much. That tends to make me depressed – and not eating makes me depressed already. Thought, exercising kind of lifts my spirit. So, I’ll focus on that and drinking my water – which I’m not real fond of either. Perhaps that’s enough “stress” for the time being!

My partner is doing great still on the cigarettes. One whole week! I’m very proud of her, even if she is a little bit grumpy!

Hey there! Just getting my new blog set up. I got really inspired recently by Lulu Roman. Don’t know if any of you all remember her, but she was on HeeHaw back in the day. She was very overweight like all her life. Well, I saw her in concert at our church this weekend and she has lost 222 pounds!  It got me wondering how I might be able to lose weight quick myself! My partner and I decided to take the plunge by committing to a cruise and of course we want to lose weight first. We figured the cruise would prove a good incentive for two reasons. One it would give us something to look forward to and for another it might spur us on because of the fear of going on a cruise looking like we look!

If you have any lose weight tips I would be very glad to hear them. At this point the only thing I really know to try include the following:

• Drink plenty of water
• Exercise every day (I’ll have to work up to that)
• Cut back on the crap I et
• Get plenty of rest

I know that doesn’t sound like much of a plan, but it seems that we all know how to lose weight, we just don’t do it. Maybe I’m making an usumption about this for other people – in my case I know I haven’t really tried yet. Losing weight I know can be truly difficult for some people, but we keep hearing how weight has just not been the kind of issue it is for so many today in past years. I can’t imagine that the physiology of all of human kind has changed so drastically. We get told again and again and then don’t do it. I’ve begun to wonder what would happen if I just believed it and did it?

Using a lose weight diet plan seems bizarre to me really. I mean, I know it could help someone lose weight fast, but it doesn’t seem like it could really be sustained. Adding exercise into our day though really could.

Anyway, I do want to learn how to lose weight and that’s the purpose of my blog. I’ll share what I discover if you’ll share what you’ve learned too and maybe together we can get ready for that cruise I want to take! And I figure out how to lose weight quickly, I’ll be sure and share too!
