Ok, I’ll be the big ‘not 39 anymore’ next month. URGH It is also the time of year for me to go to the Dr. for all of that fun stuff. I went in Tuesday for all my test results. Everything was good! Bad cholesterol was 55 points high, good cholesterol was only 3 points high and everything else was perfect! Heart disease runs in my family like nothing you have ever heard of so i was exceptionally happy.


The weight wasn’t so good, gotta get a few pounds off. The diet started Monday actually. I have been looking for a fad diet for the past 7-8 years and i have finally found the answer….calorie counting and exercise. yuk There is a girl at work that has lost 23 lbs doing that. What the heck, I can do it too!

I am limited to 1200 - 1500 calories per day. Every morning so far I have had a lean pocket (lack of time), lunch is subway, or soup or some other kind of sandwich, yogurt & cottage cheese, etc. For a snack before or after dinner I will have a cup of hot herbal tea and a blueberry crumpet.

I have to admit, last night I went to bed a little hungry and this morning my stomach was growling. In a sick kind of way i liked it! It meant that I wasn’t stuffing myself and that I was eating to survive. It has been a long time since I have felt a grumble in the tummy.
