My Goals:
Once upon a time, I set goals for myself in the area of weight loss. Things such as “if I lose 1 pound a week for the next 10 weeks, I’ll be at my goal weight by the time (fill in the blank….travel, daughter’s wedding, grandbaby born etc). Over time, I figured out that it setting such goals is not a good thing for me. I can watch/track calories, I can exercise faithfully, drink all my water, and none of that changes anything! So, now my goal is to attempt to find out why in the world I don’t lose weight, and then whatever I can to change that! Meanwhile, my health goals are to work toward eliminating all white things from my diet and exercising a minimum of 30 minutes 5 days a week.

My Program:
Diet-studying recipes to find ways to plan healthful meals without low value carbs. I’m trying out the Intermittent Fasting plan to see if that will have some affect on my body. On days that we are home, I spend 30 minutes on the elliptical machine, doing HIIT and doing strength training on alternate days.

Personal Information:
I am from Colorado, but 20 years ago left the US to serve as a missionary. From my mid 30s to 40s I was about 15 lbs overweight and then 8 years ago I celebrated reaching my goal weight. Unfortunately, just after I bought my new wardrobe, a medical treatment caused me to gain 9 pounds in a matter of 2 weeks. Then, I began a journey into the world of chronic pain... a broken ankle and knee surgery only made the issues worse. So, by now I am at least 20 pounds from my goal weight and searching in vain to try to figure out how to get if off.

Hubby says the fire (black forest) is about 20 miles away. The air is smoky, however, when the wind shifs. I'm still in San Diego area til Tues night. I'll volunteer at Rocky Mountain Calvary when I get back. How devestating for so many.

Thank you for your concern and prayers. If you need me to contact anyone in this area say the word. I'll help however I am able.
