Re: Get My Act together

As we age it gets harder and harder to drop those pounds which used to come off much easier only 10 yrs. ago.

Last week I had started eating a veggie soup type of diet....for lunch and a small bowl for dinner then some protein. It was not hard since I do enjoy the veggies.
I did drop 4 pds the first week. I took this week off from
the diet and cheated with some wine and a small desert.
but I was carefull with what I eat. Still had my veggies,
smaller portions more often. Even had a small portion of red meat. Lost 1.5 this week.
Walked and walked alot. Would leave the car a great distance from where I had to be and walked the rest of the way. Like Becky just can't run anymore.
But I do a power walk.

Just stuff yourself on veggies good size portions throughtout the day eat smaller meals more often.

It's just not easy....but oh, bathing suit weather is a coming......ugh...
