Started a New Blog

I now have 3 blogs, so this one has lagged behind for a while. I'll still post here occasionally, but for January--possibly longer--my main focus will be on my writing blog and my prayer request blog.

We're having some repairs done on our house this week, and I have to finish up some paperwork for my business. Once tax season is over, I plan to devote my time to finishing my novel and cleaning out the basement. I'm also planning some articles to submit to magazines, and I'll keep you posted on my progress.

One thing I've been working on is weight control, and I have to say I'm doing pretty good. I've resisted temptation better than usual, and by cutting back on my carbs--no exercise--I'm down 12 pounds over my December 1, 2009 weight. Not spectacular, but that comes out to 6 pounds on average per month. At that rate, by June 1, 2010 I should lose another 24 pounds. That's my goal. :)

2 Per Week---I Can Do That

My doctor told me I need to lose 20 pounds! Sounds impossible.

My son told me to set a goal of losing 2 pounds each week. I can do THAT!

So, today I started cutting back on the good things I like to eat. I plan to do some walking later today, and work up to half an hour every day. By Christmas I should meet my goal. I'm going to check my status on Wednesdays and try not to over focus on my weight on a daily basis. That fluctuates too much, and I think it will be best to treat this as a lifestyle change instead of a diet.

Wish me luck!
