I knew I didn’t have enough self discipline to keep this going right now. I’m just too stressed about too many things to focus on a really strict diet. The minute J and I went to the restaurant last night I was ordering a burger. The same again in New York since we ended up at a bar and grill for dinner. I’ve decided once again to ATTEMPT the red meat only rule if I’m at a sit down restaurant (which usually is once every 2 weeks, this week has been an exeption with the Martha trip and house guests).

After being in a car a good part of the day with three women who discussed dieting, one recommended the Suzanne Somers “Somersize Program.” It’s less of a diet and more about eating healthier (which I need to do) and eating food/protein/fat in the right combinations so that you lose weight. I looked into it, I think I can do this easily. I’m going to order some books and give it a try. My foot injuries should heal by this weekend, so I should at least be able to get back to the gym, which I know will be the biggest benefit to me. I need to be more active.
