Getting Started
Yup, I've finally come to the conclusion I need to make some changes. This is how I looked at the end of our mission in Africa. Not sure how much I weighed then. I came home at 260 lbs. Yesterday I weighed in at 252. I am taking Lisinipril for high blood pressure 140/90 and Simvastatin for high cholesterol. I have been experiencing severe heart pain and took a stress test two weeks ago. It came out normal and am scheduled for a more intensive one tomorrow. However, the worst is a significant lack of energy. So, as I have learned as a bishop, people make changes better when they hold themselves accountable and that is what I am doing here. I am committed to losing at least 30 pounds and improve my health with better eating. Attached below is a list of good and bad foods I have researched. Hope they might do others some good. I am also going to keep a daily progress record.

Yup, it's getting discouraging, but continuing through. I've decided since remembering what I ate the previous day to correlate with weight loss is too challenging so I'm going to record in the evening what I consumed for the day. Yesterday I had two eggs with vegetables scrambled together. For lunch we had vegetables and cream cheese dip. For dinner a salad. So, I can't understand why there was no loss. AND I did some time on the elliptical.
Today we had a fruit and vegetable smoothie for breakfast and baked chicken for dinner. Tasted good and hope it was good for weight loss.
