Hey Paul

Good work so far. I think your approach is pretty good, cutting out the crap.

I think I'll try that again. Last time that's exactly how I started. I focused on cutting out the bad foods before I focused on eating the good ones.

Every bit helps.

Thanks. Ya, it worked for me last time also. Gotta brake the addition to the sugar and crap!!!!!

Well the helth is getting better, so Im getting back on track!!!

Morning, and afternoon I have been prettty good. Oatmeal in the AM, and turky sandwitch and carrots for lunch[some times cheat with some peanitbutter crackers] Dinner has been tough. I tend to over eat. I have been working at cutting down the portations.

Also finly got down to work out!!!! Last two days I have worked out. 20 min on my exercize bike, fallowed by some light lifting. Feeling better allready!!!
