On The Verge....

I'm still in the planning stages of this diet-to-be (well, it sounds good anyway...lol) and truth be told, I still haven't gone grocery shopping which is something that needs to done to get this moving along. Fortunately I do like the kind of things I need to buy, like vegetables and fruit, however with the fruit here you never know if you are going to get a nice tasty piece or something that tastes like nothing which doesn't make it want to be eaten. I guess we'll just to see how the fruit eating goes.

But the plan is to start on the ever-clichéd Sunday and go from there. I need to put this down on paper so I have a tangible plan and not wing it because that would spell trouble. And a plan to keep me full so that I am not always thinking about food. That is the part of a diet that is especially hard...you think about all the things you can't/aren't supposed to have, whereas when you aren't on a diet, well at least me, I don't think of food nearly as often.

Anyway, I'm still with the program, or the program that is to be.

And I'm still blogging. So far.

Not Yet

No, I haven't started a diet yet. I know I know. Bad Sharl. But in my defense (and you know I have one), it's because of my birthday cake that has one piece left in the fridge:

I mean, how can I not eat that? Yum!!

And lately for some reason I have been in such a cake mood, which is something I normally am not. Usually if I make a cake here (unless it is my lemon coconut cake) we might eat only half and then throw away the other half. Now my lemon coconut cake, we eat that till it's gone....we've even been know to eat a piece for breakfast, its that good. Anyway, being in a cake mood certainly isn't good for trying to diet and I need to get out of it pronto.

On the other hand, I haven't gone crazy eating because, well, there is nothing in this house to eat. Seeing as I was gone a month, the guys did as little grocery shopping as possible, and so of course I came home to an empty freezer and fridge and pantry. In a way that does it make easier not to eat though, except for that darn cake. But after tonight that will be gone and I will have to think of other things besides cake.

So now I need to sit down and make up a menu for all my meals, then a grocery list, and then go grocery shopping. That will be a start anyway.

On to exercise.....

Starting A New Year

This is definitely my main resolution to keep on the first day of my 58th (or really is the 59th?) year.

LOSE WEIGHT.

I am tired of looking at my fat face and body in pictures and I really need to do something about it. Of course I say that all the time and nothing changes. But it has to start sometime and turning 58 is as good as time as any.

Wish me luck. Again.
