New Year, New Diet

Blog Patti S. Pre-Diet 2-5-10

Gulp! I’ve done it again! I’ve committed to a diet program with hopes of loosing weight and getting fit. You will notice it is not January 1, so don’t assume this is a New Year’s Resolution, do-without-thinking idea. I am ready for a change!
I am a 57 year old woman, married for nearly 40 years. I have three grown children and three spectacular grandchildren. I own my own company and work full-time plus every week. I teach Sunday School, Bible Study, Scrapbooking (in my spare time) and enjoy my family immensely.
Two years ago I had bi-lateral knee replacement (at the same time) and began working out at Physical Therapy. I loved it and keep going after my PT ended. I dropped 45 pounds in about a year. Then last summer the facility changed its hours for post-therapy patients and I stopped going to the gym. I also stopped watching what I ate and now, eight months later I am 30 pounds heavier, never having reached my goal of loosing 70 pounds.
My size 16 jeans no longer fit and I am back in my 18s, with aspirations of getting into a size 12!
There is a new program in town called UniqueU Medical Weight Loss Program. A friend of mine joined it. At first I shrugged off the idea, thinking it was just another no-win, or more aptly put, no-loose program. But after doing some research, I am confident that this will work.
They have promised the results to be fast for me; in fact, they are predicting it will take about three and a half months for me to loose 60 pounds. Just in time for my May anniversary!
So, here I go. I am nervous, my stomach is in knots, and I am once again, afraid of failing at yet another diet! But I am also tied of being out of breath after climbing the stairs and putting undo pressure on my new knees! I need this to work! And I am ready to make it work.
If you want to follow my success, I’ll be blogging every Monday night after I go for my initial weigh in and subsequent visits. I'll also be posting photos of my success (oh joy!)
