The Family That Diets Together...

The thing is about Cleveland is that it's real easy for me to ignore how fat I am out here. Arizona brought that to the forefront of my mind. That and Googling the symptoms I had on the two nights last week brought up a possibility other than food poisoning: gallbladder attack. Yikes. My mom had trouble with that and had to have surgery when I was in college. (That incident prompted Dusie's running away and getting caught in and subsequently barred from the state of Kansas). I need to start eating vegetables. That's the cornerstone of any weight loss for me.

So I made salad for dinner, and even Cain (aka Plumpy) wants in on the fun. He was stealing romaine (without dressing!) and trying to eat it.

I think he mostly just likes to chew on green things.

Dusie asked if I'd go to 5:30 Boot Camp with her when I move to AZ. Jesse X won't go with her anymore. I told her I'd think on it.

LOL--I feel the same way about Minnesota. I was much more strict with myself on the East Coast. Sigh.

I think climate will be on your side. Long cold winters, at least for me, make me want to eat lots of fried foods and things like mac & cheese. In a hot climate I think it's harder to eat lots of high fat foods and you'll hopefully want to eat more fruits and vegetables.

I'm counting on water, peer pressure, the family salad habit, and Sunday farmer's market in Awatukee.
