Me, too!

I just discovered that I am the last of the siblings to become a blogger. No fair!
So, now I am embarking onto public accountability. Pretty cool!

Since last Badwater, my weight has dropped from 192 (AARRGGGHHHH!!!) to a much more svelte 154. How did this get done? Simple rules have changed my life.

Rule number one. Do not EVER, EVER, EVER eat fast food.

Rule number two. See rule number one.

Rule number three. Be consistent with exercise. It doesn't do much to walk for three hours one day and nothing for two weeks. P90X has helped me with that.

Rule number four. Keep a food diary. When I do that, I rarely go above 1800 calories a day.

Rule number five. Dessert is not evil.

It's just that simple.

"The most important pound is the next one." So, I am working on getting to 153. I don't really care how long it takes me to get there, as long as I get there and not back up into obesity.

So, this morning, I ate smart start with soy milk and an apricot. I'll do P90X legs and back, and ab ripper X. Then, I will go to sleep and get ready for a fabulous Friday night in the ER.

Hey! Hey ! Hey! I am so excited that you started a blog, too! You know, you and Gran were not invited to join the competition because youse are the only ones who don't need to lose a honkin' lot of weight. But, I am glad you are here! I was telling Mama last night that I love the increased contact with folks, and now that you are here too it is perfect! I love you dear! Now, let's work on getting Mama blogging.

Welcome aboard!

Now that all 5 of us are on, will the kids think of blogs as uncool? I'm OK with that...
