the last 6 weeks have been very trying for me. i've been dieting. SERIOUSLY dieting. i've lost 26 pounds, which i guess isn't bad overall, but i thought i would lose more. i'm definitely lacking in energy, and my joints are very creaky. i wouldn't recommend this to anyone else, but i had to do something desperate.
so i'm at the end of the diet process, moving on to maintenance. and i'm already looking for another diet to try. i still have 40 or so pounds to lose, so i need something that is going to be long lasting and boost my energy, not zap it. i've been reading up on raw foods, and making a few things for my family. raw "ice cream" has been a winner. not much else. and my vegan options? i think that they have been good, but i get, "meh" from my 8 year old. i'm really trying to do something healthy for us all, not just me.
i'm hopeful that once i get on the maintenance program i'll have more energy and be able to work out. i have had days when i couldn't get out of bed, seriously. maybe i'll lose a little more on maintenance. but anyone out there have a good program that you've had success on? i'd love to hear about it. and i won't even make you eat the vegan brownies (although i thought they were really good!)
