2010 & still fighting the battle

Jan 14, 2010

Greetings & happy new year to ya 

Well, here we are, 2010 & I am still trying to get back down to 160. Since i last checked in (in 2008), i managed to "find" approx. 20 lbs. & I'm struggling to get back down.
It seems that every year i reach a crisis point with my weight & scream to the heavens BACK TO BASICS but MAN how i wish i could learn my lesson & just reach & maintain my goal of 160... even 180... but ideally 160.

So I'm back to using all of my tools. The 5dpt (love it), online tracking here, on thedailyplate.com & on mapmywalk.com (that's a great tool!!) in hopes that actually SEEING what I'm consuming, how that's being absorbed, what my physical activity is will help snap me out of it & get me where i want to be.

My last post (in 2008) revolved around the subject of how important taking our vits are (love you Anita!!!). I stayed on that soap box for about a month & then fell off as my weight creeped back up. Moving forward, I'm really going to try to break that habit.

However, that made me realize that I don't know a lot about nutrition & how my body reacts to the food choices i make. Truth be told, nutrition is kind of a guessing game for me & I believe that is a large part of the battle - KNOWLEDGE. So I figured I'd use this forum to post about topics that I find challenging or really didn't know a lot about or completely understand. For one, it will serve as a personal reminder & two, perhaps my research will help some of you with your battle (I cant be the only one who doesnt quite get it). 

Best of luck to us all.
