I am just getting started with this. I am in bad health. Overweight, diabetes, afib. I have to do this for me.  I want to loose weight to get healthier.  I need all the help I can get.

I used to be a competetive swimmer, so being overweight and having afib really sucks! I am hoping if I get this weight off it will help my afib and diabetes.  I am starting cardio at the gym tomorrow. I can't go to the grocery store and get what I need to eat till Thursday when we get paid.

After a busy but extremely slothful weekend travelling to watch our local ice hockey team progress to the next round of the playoffs (unexpected and now we have another weekend of travel!) where I ate too much of really bad foods, I am  back at it. I was so tired yesterday and stiff from sitting so much that I couldn't face a workout. I did some stretches and walked dog but that was it. Today I completed 15 minutes workout and am feeling a bit better and recovered from a weekend of…

I decided to have a restful day yesterday so I tried to just walk very sadly I was able to accomplish only 6,000 thousand steps and I don’t know if I can exercise today I have been battling a tooth  ache for the last 2 weeks so I have an appointment with the dentist today so I will either have a root canal or taken the tooth out, so we will see how am I going to feel later.

I am very aching all over my body so I know I need to move a lot again today so my body will get use to it.

Every day we are always making choices.  What to do, when to do, and what to eat....and the list goes on and on.  So today my choices included sleeping in because I didn't get to sleep until after 5 am.  When I got up, after eating my husband & I read scriptures and a Sunday lesson together and worked on a puzzle.  I then called my fairly new neighbors, who are a young couple with a toddler, and asked if they would like some help with their yard work.  You see, they recently had 4 trees cut…

I grew up putting this type of slaw on a bbq sandwich we would get from an award winning Alabama bbq resturanteur, Big Bob Gibson.  I recently found the coleslaw recipe online.  Really only thing I had to do was substitue the sugar in the recipe with stevia. 26 Calories for 12 servings.  I now think the recipe makes more servings as it will set your teeth on edge by  itself.  But I like it that way so been adding it to my meals.

I have made the recipe even quickier by just getting an…
