Here We Go Again

I found out that, among other side effects, the bc I was using was keeping me from being able to lose weight. So I gave it up at the beginning of December. Then, I went to one party after another and pigged out. So of course, I still haven't lost any weight. In fact, I'm up to 195.

Between my health issues and my husband's, I have decided to take drastic measures. No processed sugar or flour, no ingredients with chemical names, and very limited dairy. We're going to start out for the month of January and see how we're feeling. I'll stick with it...(I know, I know, I've said that before)... until February when I see my sister in Las Vegas.

My plan is still to lose 10%, which is 20 pounds by the end of Feb. I'm looking for a Wii Fit at retail price. We'll see how that works out. I have resistance bands, a trampoline, stationary bike and good ol' fashioned sneakers if nothing else. The pain in my joints, especially my hips and back, make it hard to commit to prolonged workouts, but every bit helps and hopefully taking some of the weight off might help.
