Being told as a child I could not use 4-letter words, I have tried to avoid even being in the near vicinity of any with the exceptions of "LOVE" or "FOOD". Unfortunately, I have become all too acquainted with the word "FOOD".
Since my retirement just about a year ago, I have had very little extra curricular activity AKA 'exercise' or some form thereof. AND, due to the fact that Ween is totally related to me in that there are very few foods we don't like, I am forced to face up to the "BIG D" word - (Diet).
Officially, I don't believe in Diets. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it). I don't think they are productive or healthy in the long run. I do, however, believe in Food Plans and exercise. That is exactly what I have decided to do. I have several close friends who have tried to be helpful, and suggested many ways I could go, but I have to find what is right and what works for me. It is a life-style change - a 24/7 day focus.
I don't have the energy nor the will power to have that kind of focus right, but just cutting down on bread, potatoes, and red-meat is how I'm starting. I know me. I don't choose to get rid of them altogether because if I decide to do that, I'll start craving them, and that would defeat the whole purpose. Starting next Monday though, veggies and fruit only. THE BIGGEST SACRIFICE IS NO DIET SODA. We'll see how it goes and how long it lasts. Hang in there for the updates.
