Happy B-Day America!  It seems like a great time to take charge of my diet and my life. 

Let’s see, how about a little background on me?  I’m a 40 something married chick from the midwest.   I’ve spent nearly my entire life on some sort of diet, starting at age 7.   There are times that I wonder if I’d never been placed on the first diet, would I be in this predicament?   I’m not at my worst, mind you.   At one point I weighed 360 pounds.   Right now, I’m at 244 pounds.    I’m not at my best either.   In the last 7 years I was down around 184.    How did I get there?  We’ll get to that later.

The latest venture is The Metabolism Miracle by Diane Kress.  I came to select this program from my previous diet attempts.   I had the most success on Atkins.   I looked good, I felt good, and I had anough energy to power my small midwestern city.  It was a great experience.   Then I fell off the no-carb wagon.   It wasn’t pretty.  I regained half the weight I’d lost.   Sorry, sidetracked, back to Metabolism Miracle.  The program closely resembles Atkins, but there are some significant differences to make it, in my opinion, healthier.  I read through Step One and it seems this is a program that I can follow and, more importantly, stick with. 

I’ve created my shopping list, I’ve cleared out the junk food, and I’ll go shopping in the morning. 

I’m ready.  I’m tired of the yo-yo experiences I’ve had over the last few years.  I’ve noticed that since I lost my job in April, I’m eating poorly and I feel like crap. Oh, and let’s not forget the 15 pounds i’ve gained since April.  I’m ready to feel good again.  I’m ready to find the energy again to stay active.

This is my first blogging experience.  I hope you gain something from my experience.   Please be kind to the novice blogger.  I’m doing my best.

In addition to posting on my diet experience, I’m going to post whatever is on my mind.   This could include posts on my favorite activities.  It’s taking everything I have not to post a comment on the television program I’m watching at this very moment.   Clean House, Search for the Messiest Home in the Country 3.  I can no longer contain myself. The homeowner is a hot a** mess,  (H.A.M going forward).  How does someone let their home get this out of control??  Please don’t tell me it’s the combination of lapsed time (30 years) and being too busy.  Honey, I’ve worked two jobs nearly my entire adult life and my house has NEVER looked like that!!  I’ve never had to wash my dishes then dump the water in my toilet.  I’ve lived in some sketchy neighborhoods and never had rodents.   Perhaps I shouldn’t be so critical, I have my own issues.  Backing off….
