Procrastination is NOT the key to weight loss.

After the day I had, I have to make a plan to lose weight.  Now I don't know where to begin.  I weigh too much.  That is all I know.  I realize that I know that a failure to plan is a plan to fail.  I have felt like a failure and that needs to change.  It also does not hurt to answer those questions that I have been asking.  The questions that I have are many, but now my mind is clearer.  I don't have all of the answers, yet.  At least things, however,  are no longer as confusing as they once were.

The sad truth

The sad truth is, I wish I had made a plan.  Maybe I should have then I finally realize that tomorrow, I have an appointment with someone who will probably criticize my poor eating habits.  I know that I need to exercise.  The ultimate truth is that I am clueless.  I finally admit that.  I have no clue and I have no plan of my own.

Winter is the season where will power and regimens are shot to hell.

With an effective combo of high-fiber and protein, this 4-week plan will help you lose fat, boost your metabolism, and set you up to build muscle—all without the annoying hunger or weird cravings that tend to accompany a calorie cutback.

Planning for the holidays

I have no plans to exercise, though I need to.  However, I plan to just have a little fun and that is it. How do I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner on a holiday?  It is strange to do since mostly what I eat is a large lunch and a light dinner (I guess it is light.)  The truth is, I never planned for a holiday.  Even on Thanksgiving and New Years have I never made plans.  Maybe that is something to really think about.  I should do this more often.
