Dieting...

[morethanpretty]

I have decided to go ahead and attempt the Zone diet. I'm ordering the book on Amazon and it should be here by the time I get back from vacation. I am considering a fitness club membership (there is 1 right next door that looks affordable and is 24 hour). I have a couple of free options, like the one at work and the college, but neither of those are as convenient, if I were going to use them regularly, I already would be. So, might be worth using the one next to my house. I have not done the physical therapy because my health insurance has been screwy, but maybe I won't need it if I'm just working out regularly. Doc said it might just be the extra weight put too much strain on that muscle. If it starts to hurting real bad, I'll go ahead and get a new 'script to go, but if not...that will be saved money.
I have gotten better at eating a snack or lunch at work. I am going to have to improve the quality of those, but at least I'm not AS tempted to eat fast food on my way home.
Sister is off work for now (teacher - but looking for a different job), so she cooks most nights now (I cleanup and contribute groceries to make up for her doing the cooking) so that will help me stay away from the super bad stuff, she usually tries to cook healthy.

Well...we shall see.

Also: I really wish there was a gym that allowed pets....I would totally make Della walk the treadmill. LOL.

This looks like good thinking

I have gotten better at eating a snack or lunch at work. I am going to have to improve the quality of those, but at least I'm not AS tempted to eat fast food on my way home.

This looks like progress

Sister is off work for now (teacher - but looking for a different job), so she cooks most nights now (I cleanup and contribute groceries to make up for her doing the cooking) so that will help me stay away from the super bad stuff, she usually tries to cook healthy. ..

This looks good, too
Well done, MTP!
