First day

Alright I've gotten through the first day of my new way of eating. I am doing the Formula 40-30-30. Not a diet for me but a way to eat to help manage my diabetes and drop some needed pounds. My ultimate goals are to lose about 40 pounds, get off a majority, if not all, of my medication for diabetes, elevated cholesterol and high blood pressure. I want energy and stamina to keep up with life.
Now onto how my day was, I felt hungry all day (I wasn't really prepared food wise), I was still reading the book. Got home and my DH had a nutritous dinner of salad and baked chicken for me with a little cottage cheese with pineapple. Went to bed early, feeling really tired lately. I woke up same as the day before feeling rundown. Fasting sugars looked a lot better today. So are off to a good start.

New Year New Beginning

Ok here we are January 5, 2011 and I am starting over with my weight loss goals. I weighed in at work, we are doing a weight loss challenge, and my starting weight is 196.5. I am not very pleased with this but really what did I expect the way I have been eating. So I figured I will use this blog to help keep me accountable. Hey whatever works, works, right? So we begin anew. I am keeping a positive attitude about this. I will be having hand surgery (for trigger finger) here soon. Hopefully by summer I will be able to get into boxing.
