My weight is making me unhappy.  I hate how I look and how I feel, so it's time to do something about it.  It took me a long time to put all this weight on, but I'm hoping to lose it before summer gets here.  170 down to 140-145 is the goal....Don't care who knows it...maybe it will help me stick to my guns for once.

Following the Flat Belly Diet.

3/24/12 Half way there!   Feeling so much better already and am determined to keep going.  Problem is my clothes are baggy, but it doesn't seem worth it to buy new pants just yet!  Better fix that sewing machine.

5/25/12  Lost 20 since I started Jan 1 (before I started here) and have stayed there for weeks now.  Too many lunches out and trips and not enough willpower.  Now that the weather has warmed up, I'll be working outside more and not working out inside as much. My bod can only take so much without requiring ibuprofen at night.  But I do need to step it up and get this job done.

6/23/12  Have only lost about 1.5 lbs in the last month.  I've been cheating horribly. At first, it was only here and there (which I consider ok), but lately it's gotten to be every day and that's gonna stop.  For a while I was so busy outside that I wasn't working out...now that's slowed down to occasional weeding and daily watering (about 1-1.5 hrs worth) and I'm trying to exercise more again.  But my knees are throbbing at night ... which does not make me happy at all.
