When I started this blog a little less than year ago I planed to update it regularly. As you can tell that did not happen. I also planned to try to do something humorous however, that did not happen either. As you can tell my one and only blog up until now was a blog about a death. In a few days I can say that was last year. The year was busy with weddings (my daughter and my cousin) and with graduations (another daughter and son). There were big decisions such as our youngest son deciding to join the Air Force delayed entry program. Plenty of excuses not to blog, yet a lot of things happened that would have been blog worthy.
When I went for my yearly physical I found that not only do I have fibromyalgia, I also apparently have triglyceride levels that could bring down a water buffalo. That brings me to my point. I have about 60 pounds to lose and triglycerides to bring down. This year I have more reason than ever in the past to lose weight. I seem to be a heart attack or stroke waiting to happen and that is a scary reality. For now my blog is going to become a journal that I don't mind sharing with others, chronicling my battle with my weight and with learning to better deal with the fibromyalgia. In regards to the diet, I plan to go low carb for two reasons, first it is the only diet that seems to work for me and second research shows it to be the best way to lower triglyceride levels. I plan to go on the Atkins Diet but this may evolve to more of a South Beach thing over time. I expect that the blog will evolve over time as well. One blog may be about dieting and another may be a tip that I have found to make life with fibro a little easierand the next may be about my kids. Any comments or helpful hints will be appreciated.
I will also try to post any low carb recipes I find that are budget concious, time concious and of course yummy. I think the New Year hold promise for all of us, whether our goal is our health or something else. Happy New Year to everyone.
