If at first you don't succeed, try, try again...

Hello Everyone! Good Thursday morning to you. It's me again. I am still battling with regain. As much as I would love to lay blame on others for my failure, I know better. In the end this is my tool and no one else can make this weight come off other than me. I have a good idea of what I need to do diet-wise but am also going to be focusing more on both resistence training and sleep. My goal is to lose this 40 lbs of regain by my 45th birthday next May. That puts it at about a pound a week... doable I believe.
I am going to not only utilize the support forums here on OH but also am going to be diligently maintaining a Food & Mood Journal as well as my food journal on My Fitness Pal (using this to track my calories, carbs and protein). I am also looking into when my local support groups meet. I'm not one for being very social but I keep reading how important being with a support group is. I'm waiting until my new insurance kicks in before getting a much needed checkup with my surgeon. Hoping to have that scheduled in the next couple of weeks.
So I have a plan of action and my goal. Here's to patience, perseverence and self-motivation. I CAN DO THIS!
