This will be short and sweet as I am very tired. I am also very content but tired nonetheless. I hope eveyrone had a great Thanksgiving!

My hubby and I are researching what method/plan we want to use to kick start healthy living after the New Year. No, that doesn’t mean we’re going to pig out until then!  :)  We are working right now on making better choices and starting back walking. But, it’s obvious we can’t do it by ourselves. We’re considering WW or the Dr’s RX weight loss. I lost 42 pounds on WW a few years ago. However, I wasn’t doing the meetings or anything. I definitely need accountability beyond my sister’s who say “oh, it’s okay baby; you had a bad day”.  :)  

The dr’s RX involves a prescription weight loss pill, monthly visits to the doc for vitals, weigh in and talking with the doc. I think my hubby is a little reluctant to do this because of the pill. He already takes two meds on a regular basis and he’s not crazy about adding another one. I figure; what’s one more but that’s his decision. This program also includes a high protein diet and recommended exercise plans.

I will be content with either one of these plans. I don’t like plans where you have to eat only their food. I like plans like these that are flexible, doable and livable. We’re going to talk about it more in depth as the year comes to an end b/c it’s something we want to do together.

Any advice on these or other programs that work for you would be appreciated. Mostly, a big part of it for us is going to be outside the family accountability.

Hope all is well. Have a great rest of the weekend!

    It’s very cool that you and your husband are committed to doing this healthier lifestyle thing together! I don’t know much about either of your options (WW or the diet pill thing). I do know that we all have to find what works for each of us, so communication between you two (as a team) will be key!

    So what’s the decision? How’s it going?? Happy December! Delita
