Hello Again

Well, it has been a very long time since I last blogged.
I really don't know why I stopped, other than I really never had a lot to say.

Sometimes I felt like Steve just said it all.

I do have some new news. I have started a 1200 calorie diet per the recommendation of an Endocrinologist at the U of M. I have been trying to lose weight for many years and nothing seems to have been working.

It has to happen though as my back is not getting any better and the more weight I lose the better off I will be.

In the first week I lost 2 pounds, which is what the Dr. wants to see. It has been very hard for me. I really had no idea how much food is in a 1200 calorie diet. Needless to say it is not a lot.

I have been doing frozen meals buffered with fresh veggies, frozen veggies and some fruit and yogurt. The Dr. suggested Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating meals, but I am still experimenting with the grocery store stuff.

Time will tell if this is a viable option for me. I hope it is as I need to make a change.
