Had a great time with DD and her boyfriend this weekend for her college graduation, but eating out the entire time....

then we get back and I find DH's job offer and we are to be in Greensboro, NC by Oct 1. This means I will be quitting my job soon.

Maybe then I can focus on getting healthier. A whole new life in a whole new area...because in the meantime - there will be more travel and eating out to parents, to NC and the business trips... Need a plan that will allow for eating on the road - alot.

Still drinking the Crystal Light, still not losing. My period finally came last week, and that helped with some of the water weight, but its gone and I'm still on the high side of scale. I NEED to start walking again!!!! I was walking and drinking my Dew and felt better about myself then than I do now.

I'm also slowly getting to where I'm finding some good tea flavors that I like and learning just how much,if at all, I need to sweeten them (table sugar, trying to adjust to using honey - ugh) Still way less sugar than the Dew.

What a journey this has been though. Never thought I would have this much trouble focusing on losing weight. It would help if all the lose weight books said the same thing - no guessing work, just do this, eat that, but they don't.They each say their own thing.Although there are like 5 items they all agree on:
1. Drink lots of water (8 - 8oz minimum)
2. MOVE!!!! (15-20 minutes minimum 5 days a week)
3. Eat plenty (=lots!!) of colorful fruits and vegetables.
4. Get plenty of sleep.
5. Stay away from soda.

If I can just do those 5 things.... along with the stress of moving across the country...

And a good multi-vitamin is also a strong suggestion in everything I've read. And if it doesn't have enough vit D, take a supplement for that and I believe it's Vit E was the other one. .

gtg. lots to do today.
