    Dieting

    Well today was weigh in day.  As ususal I lost 1 whole pound.  This is really getting old.  When I got sick in March of 2007 I weighed 200 pounds, at 5' 2" you might say there was more of me to love,  While in the hospital I lost 30 pounds, mostly because of the breathing tube for so long and then I just didn't feel like eating.  After I got out of rehab and got home for good, my husband and I decided it would be good for me to lose more weight to make it easier to walk on my new legs.  I have been dieting and exercising since August and have lost another 30 pounds.  It is so slow, a pound a week and I need to lose another 20 pounds.  I know that the slow loss is better but I want it now.

    Enough poor me, the up side of this is I have developed a new appreciation for cooking.  I have started collecting diet and low carb recipes and have found a whole new world of foods.  I have found that with a little planning and thought we are eating better than we ever have and I'm not talking about rabbit food, so once again I have found the up side, eventhough I would still like to have a big mac, fries, and a chocolate shake.

    Ann -- Congrats, that's fantastic. Really. A pound a week is a pretty good pace, I think. I actually have my personal training certification, so I can say that with (very limited) authority. You lose it much faster than that and you'll be losing muscle strength because your body will metabolize your muscle. Keep it up!
