Hard Times

It's Tuesday the 21st of February.  This past week has been so hard for me.  I have had more craving for junk food, than in the month before.  We were shopping in Big W the other day.  I swear all the junk food I saw I wanted.  I stuck to it for the most part.  I did indulge in a couple of cokes, but stayed under my calorie requirement for the days. Well all but one, and that day is because I lowered my Calorie intake number.  I decided to try and loose a pound a week, instead of half of one.  I am really proud of myself for trying to stick to my guns.

One month ago I decided I needed to get healthier.  It was after I reviewed some blood test results.  I find it difficult because of my Rheumatoid Arthritis.  That is because there are days when just getting up to go to the toilet is beyond painful.  It takes me anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours to get moving in the mornings.

I want to catalog my journey and it's ups and downs here.
