I'll be 50 this May and very tired of being "an old lady".
I've been overweight since 13 . This year I decided to try again and for 5 weeks I've been following the South Beach Healthy Heart Diet. It really has worked for me, at least, in the beginning (Jan 22nd). I lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks but since then nothing. So I'm going to try and post and keep track of what I'm eating to try and get past this plateau.
I began at 180lbs and headed for a healthy BMI about 140lbs. I started at obese and now I'm just at overweight - yay ! - just overweight, not obese, something to celebrate.

We are going to WDW - CSR in May for my 50th birthday. Its a gift from my sister. I'd really like to look and feel better!

Well I had a boring first WISH day and so spent it eating. Not good for me.
I did work out 30 mins on the treadmill (program3) and ride Guinness in the arena for 20 minutes. That's a great start on my exercise plan.
Tomorrow is another day to eat better. I have a good plan so I'm going to stick to it!

I ate better today, what I brought for lunch and still on my diet. Oatmeal for breakie with bran buds (horse food) and one lonely egg. I love eggs and would live on them if I could. Free range/run eggs that is.
Fish and olives for lunch, a yogurt and slices of fat free mock turkey. Also another yogurt for an afternoon snack and two baby cookies (boo for me)
It MUST be veggies galore for dinner, I have no other choices left.
Weighed in at work on the accurate walk-on scale and was 169lbs so although I'm not losing I'm not gaining either.
I must lose 3 lbs a week to reach my goal in time for CSR!
I found out today that there will be some of my collegues at the HSUS Pet Expo and staying at CSR, oh boo, hiss, but a little more incentive to look good in my bathing suit. On the plus side the City is paying for me to attend on one day of the Expo so thats kinda nice.

Go me!

Welcome to the WISH journals! Posting here has helped me get thru some rough times and to keep focused. I'm sure it will do the same for you. I'll also be in WDW in May-staying at The Villas at the Wilderness Lodge and Old key West. It should be a beautiful time of the year, especially at Epcot with the Flower and Garden Festival.

Keep posting and again, Welcome!
