Today I went and bought everything that I like to start the crack the code diet. Joined two blogs that looked very encouraging and ready to start. Will I make it?

Starting with a friend from work and my daughter who has already said she will do it her way. Mmmmm, already a twist had been added to the story.

I have lost weight and been "perfect" twice in the past 8 years. So it can be done. the last 2 years have been emotionally hard and that's the kind of eater I am.

I wake up and start a new beginning. I hope this site brings me encouragement...

Losing slowly but still losing.

I'm eating an Atkins shake for breakfast, Morningstar Farms crumbles and Manwich, pistachios and 1 oz. of cheddar for lunch and a cheese omelet and Morningstar Farms breakfast patties for dinner.

I haven't exercised as much as I'd like. I have a nerve problem in my foot and have an appt with a podiatrist. I do use the bike, I'd just prefer to use the treadmill - and the bike hurts my foot. Still using the ball for abs and band for legs and arms.

Wow...I made it two weeks...and I feel great! My energy has increased and and my knees have stopped hurting. I've only lost 16 lbs so that surprises me. I would have thought that I would have to lose much more to see those results.

This morning I felt a little down, and I had a bit of fear of failure kind of out of the blue. I don't know why...I've been doing good. But I haven't lost anything for several days and when I weighed that seemed to trigger it. I think I must not weigh as often.

I went to the store and bought several things I'll need for some recipes...

not feeling great this morning. my lung hurts in the same place that it hurt before when I had pleurosy (although, not as extreme). I took a mega dose of advil so hopefully that will kick in soon.

I stayed in bed longer than usual this morning for a sunday. snuggled with dh for a few minutes when he came to bed (he worked graveyard last night). decided to skip sunday school but will go to church. don't really feel like it, but usually am glad I went when I go anyway. sometimes, it's fine for me to stay home but as I layed in bed thinking about it, I felt urged to go. so whether it's...
