Mind if I join you all? I love the idea of a challenge! I've read your posts and you all are doing great!
My goals will be:
- Work up to 1 hour/day on treadmill.
- Drink 8 glasses of water/day. (This is super difficult for me.)
- Maintain food journal faithfully.
I'm into my second week of counting calories, and I make low fat food selections when when possible, and I've lost 6.5 pounds (couldn't figure out how to get my ticker to do half pounds).
I've honestly tried every "diet" out there and found that they all pretty much work IF you stick to them. LOL!
But, I also have learned that the basic foundation of most of them is counting calories. They just come up with a catchy name or marketing angle to promote it. And, many of them do the work for you ... the counting, planning, preparation, etc.
I finally realized that I'm bright enough to do that on my own and don't need to pay someone to do it for me. So, here I am - back to basics ... counting calories, exercising and making healthy food choices.
Thanks for letting me join you on this journey!!
