A New Resolve


In the same way I have ignored this diary, I have ignored my health needs and weight loss goals in the last year. My excuse would be the migraine headaches, but that has been reduced and so now I am without excuse. This is intended to be one of those "before and after" things. Here is a picture of me I just took.

Here's my plan.

1) Starting an exercise regimen again. about 16 months ago, I did a marathon. I nearly died yesterday doing a mile and a half. Hard to imagine going downhill that fast. But I'm going to start trying to exercise around 4 times a week.

2) I've got to continue the "headache" diet (almost no sugar or simple carbs - bread, pasta, etc). I'm careful on those things, but not too extreme, not Atkins or anything. I still eat fruit, which I couldn't if I were strict.

3) Portion control. I hate that it has come to this, but I have no choice.

Hopefully, by reasonable exercise, portion control and eliminating sweets and other simple carbs, I will have some less horrific shots to share in the near future.
