I know it has been a while since I posted. I have been flirting with ONEderland all summer. I blame stress, an my eating. I know I could have made many better choices. It is time to get back to work. Bob Harper, from the biggest looser, wrote a book with a 30 day eating plan. John and I read the book over the summer. I decided to buy it and give the 30 days a try. Week 1 I would call a success. I am down 5 pounds from September 1. I started at the RAC and I hope that strength training will get the numbers moving down again. I can see 100 pounds down. It is so close!!!!
