One persons weight loss doing Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition

I am slightly embarrassed to admit I have been a slacker with my CR. While I have NOT been eating bad food I have been not counting nor paying enough attention to quantity. The results are not pretty, I have gained a few pounds and feel miserable.

I read most of my posts on this blog and watched several of my youTube videos and am determined to find what it was that made me create them.  I want to know that person again. I am no way near what she was just a few years ago.  I am pretty sure part of it is the ongoing economy and our money situation. I can’t blame all of it on that but want to. There is no funds for what I want to do, the pits.  I was asked to come back to a lessor job and did it, now it seems that one is also drying up. At 70 it is not easy to find work even though I have plenty of skills and time.

Back to my weight, which I have been trying to ignore. I am up 30 pounds, in the grand scheme of things I am still down 70 but who cares. I hate this 30 pounds although my skin is now filled out again.  I miss my wrinkles. I seem to be a lucky one, no wrinkles on the face, never had them anyway.  Mine are in the arms and legs. Clothes do wonders for them so I am allowed missing my wrinkles.

I have found a few new things that I love. I have a bit of arthritis in my hands, I am now taking an enzyme that seems to be helping me.  No more puffy fingers. I can’t remember if I had puffy fingers when I was 30 pounds lighter, I sure will remember it this time. 30 pounds yikes, admitting it hurts. Oh well, I don’t want pity or advice I know what to do. I started it already.

Since going back to work last fall I haven’t spent anytime on the computer, that and the Ipad kept me away. Today is the first time in almost a year I have been here longer than just checking bank accounts. I even updated my wordpress from a very old version. Took me more than it should have but it was successful. Yea.

On to a thinner, happier, smaller, cuter, content me. On to calorie restriction and my buddy the cronOmeter.

Good to be back.
