update - almost a year later

Well, we moved to Washington, DC and did not stick with our diet and exercise plan and my goals just went down the toilet. I gained back all the weight I lost plus a little and was weighing in at 184 by mid-March. My daughter, Paula, recommended I read the Primal Blueprint. My husband, Tom, was weighing in around 245 and had to have a heart cath. It was time to do something ... again!

We are now 6 weeks or so into eating primally (meats, nuts, fruits, vegetables, no grains, no sugars, no processed foods) and walking almost every day. I am now weighing 168 and Tom is at 220. I am hoping this is a lifestyle change and not something that we do for awhile and then gain it all back.

Reading back on my posts from last year is depressing. We were making such good progress and let it all go. It makes me discouraged about the wonderful progress we have been making so far this spring.
