It's been a long time....

The past three years I have had my ups and downs. Mostly my weight going up. And now I am in worse shape than I have ever been. I weigh more than ever and am more sedentary than I have ever been. Last October I was going to the Y regularly (I had been doing that off and on for the past three years) and my back went out. Then we moved to Virginia where I live in two places ... and I really need to get a new Y membership. But since we moved I have basically worked myself -- practically to death. So today I am starting again. I'm working on 2 things: Counting carbs and increasing the number of steps I take each day. I'm going to record it here because nobody even knows I have this blog any more -- so it will just be a record for me. I look back on 2008 -- the year I lost 50 pounds and wish I could go back. I have gained about 80 pounds since then. For the sake of continuing to live, I need to make some serious changes: So today I had 121 net carbs. I walked 2600 steps. My average last month was 1700. My goal is to average 2200 for the next month. A bit at a time...
