1 week down, 11 weeks to go!

Alright... We weighed in yesterday and I managed to loose 4.4 pounds forever! I'm so excited. I've been eating very low-carb. I've been trying to figure out what will work best for me to continue losing weight and keep me happy for the long-haul. I realize that this is a lifestyle change and it needs to be something that I can live with. I ordered the "Food Lover's Fat Loss Plan" and it came in yesterday. I started looking at it and it looks WEIRD. I still need to read through it more, but I think I'm sending it back. My issue with it is that I'm a picky eater. I don't like things like onions and peppers and tomatoes. Apparently those foods are down-right MAGICAL to this particular plan. I'm actually thinking of starting the Paleo Diet instead. I know a few people who do it and they are doing very well on it. Very lean, fit people who I aspire to look and feel like. I suppose if I want to look the way they look, I should eat the way they eat. I think I'm going to visit the library and see what I can find regarding Paleo today.

I've also started exercising this week. I went to Curves on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I'm also about to go this morning. I'm sore and I'm tired but I'm determined to get rid of some of this weight on my ass.

I also intend to clean out the fridge and freezer today of unhealthy foods. My husband may freak out a little. I'll keep his favorite stuff, but its gotta go...

Otherwise, I've been having a really bad week regarding all my depression from this past summer. Too much sadness in my life and I can't seem to get away from it. There are three special people in my life who all passed away within a month of each other and I can't get past it. I hope that exercising will help me deal with all of this.

I think I want to organize a food drive at work, if they don't already do that. So many needy people in the upcoming months will be hungry. I hope we can help them.

I need to find a solution to coffee in the morning. Sugar-free coffee mate is the worst and I have a feeling that I shouldn't be drinking all of that Splenda.

Oh.... If I decided to try Paleo, I can't eat cheese. What in the world do I do about that? I love cheese....

I will try to write more later once I investigate Paleo a little further and decide if it is right for me. I also need to write to a dear friend who is incarcerated. I miss him lots.
