Time to hop off the gravy train and get back on the weight loss wagon.

I finished off the last of the pumpkin pie and date cookies for breakfast this morning. I told myself before Thanksgiving that I was going to let myself go a little and enjoy all the food, but it was going to be a short lived thing, not one of those deals where you fall back into old routines on a more long term basis.

I did similarly over Thanksgiving, and now it's back to the good routine.

I've started going to the gym a couple days a week, and this coming week I think I'll try doing it 3 days. I need to get in shape as quickly as possible since I'm getting my right knee replaced in mid-January. I've been working out for several weeks and there is some distinct improvement. I need it!

I try to eat solid foods throughout the day but they just don't go down right.

Change your eating style. Have you tried consulting with a dietician or nutritionist? Dieting doesn't work for most people.
I hope you can achieve your goal and get healthy. Your life depends on it as does your wife, family and friends


good luck !!

It is sad we can no longer post titles with non-English characters.

I understand the motivation, but it is sad anyway.

Yes, I do know how to spell piñata.

I don't eat there often, but when I do that's what I get.
