One of the lovely ladies we got to know on this trip approached me one day. She is this tiny little woman about fifty to sixty years of age. She was truly one of the nicest people we met on the whole trip. She had her ipod in hand and she started showing me pictures of herself two to three years back. She was huge. Really huge. I was shocked! I could hardly correlate the person in front of me with the person in the pictures.
She told me that she had never told anybody how much she actually had lost in total, but she did tell me how she did it. She simply started counting calories. She ate whatever she wanted but didn't go over 1200 calories per day. More and more this is what I am hearing from people. They have tossed out all the gimmicks, diets, programs etc... And really when you look at it whether its Atkins, Low Glycemic, Jenny Craig or whatever...it amounts to the same thing....1000 to 1200 calories, low carb, low fat, low salt, and high in low carb vegetables. I really appreciated her input and was very impressed with her success.
Went for an awesome walk with April this afternoon on her lunch break. We walked along the seawall. The dogs can be off leash if they are behind a fence between us and the railroad. They have their own little path with occasional water stations. It was good to catch up with her news and plans etc... It is so amazingly beautiful out there right now!!! So many flowers and happy people!
Thats it for today!! I think its time to go get a coffee somewhere and finish the Hunger Games series. TTYL
