Hello everyone I am doing this lifestyle change once again after several times of slipping back off. I have been mostly back on since about April with some slips. I really need to stick to this! My life is very busy and there are so many people counting on me to be there for them. Some days I don't feel at all like being there for anybody else, but love them all so much and know I need to do my best! I also know I do my best when I stick to the McDougall Plan. I am doing this mostly for the health benefits, but could also stand to lose 10 to fifteen pounds. My daughter who is Rosey on here got me back on this when she started back. I am so glad she did because I seemed to be getting sicker and sicker. I still have my days when I feel awful, but they are getting further apart. Today I had gluten free oatmeal for breakfast and at noon I had a smoothie with both whole fruits and veggies and then some this evening I have been having a snack dinner of turnips, tomatoes and prunes. Sounds pretty weird but I really enjoy eating fresh veggies and love prunes. I am going to try and keep up this journal to help myself in my quest to get healthy. Hope to get to know allot of you.

I love doing this with my daughter, even though we do not live that close. It is nice to be able to share good times & not so good times in trying to adhere to this life style.
