Jill's diary

Hi ya Jill!

Thanks for stopping by my diary!

On January 2 , I set a goal to go alchohol free for 30 days...it was the beginning of getting back on track with my weightloss....ya know...resolution setting and all that...but I managed to make it through the month without a drop of alcohol. I only had two social occasions that tempted me.

It really had no other purpose other than to cut out the calories I take in when I drink and it was a detox kind of thing too...I was able to set my mind to it and stick with it...it felt good inside...and the whole calorie part of it became less important.

Best of luck on your journey...give me a shout if I can help you...I will stop in and touch base with you, too!

Take care and have a great day!

Beth

Just popped a chicken leg into the oven with some seasonings... gotta plan my veggies now, I WISH i had potatoes in the house, I wonder if the corner store has any? hmmm... maybe ill go check.

Boy I really need a car!
 
ok, I feel I have to write my sad sob story and get it over with... (I decided leaving the house with the oven on is probably not a good thing!)

I am living in a big beautiful house with my three cats. I am a child care provider and its winter.... and I watch two infants and the weather hasn't been great (I live in upstate NY)

I have two teenagers who decided they would rather live with their Dad... Its been so sad for me, when im sad, I EAT....

My doctor gave me prozac, which made me gain weight (more weight than I had already)

I stopped taking it cause of the weight gain and how it made me feel sluggish...

now my overeating weighs me down, I really want to eat healthier, look healthier, keep exercising in the am....

Im so glad you are all here. xoxoxox
