Diets....ugh!!!!

These are wild fall asters , pic taken at the bird sanctuary.Well, once again the day has gotten away from me. I just don’t know where the time is slipping by me. I started answering journals this a.m. and I kept having to go and then come back to them. I am caught up. I just need to post my own. This will be short.It is now 7:30 p.m. and we have just come back from a 2 hour supper with our friends ( the fri. nite ritual). I am stuffed, not good when one is dieting. But I really didn’t have that much, my tummy must be shrinking. LOL I had homemade turkey/veg soup, a roll and four of us split an order of onion rings ( my only treat). I have been so... good on this diet for 35 days now and I have lost 10 pounds, only half way to my goal and only 28 more days to get there. I have not lost one pound in a week!!!! ugh.... But my clothes are feeling looser. I am going to start measuring myself tomorrow in all the places I want to loose weight. I also battle with bowel problems. Not a nice topic, I know, but a fact of life. My problem is they don’t like to work!! I will go days without going. I am now in day 6 and around this time my lower abdomen gets really hard and it starts to hurt really.... bad. I have to take some laxatives to solve the problem. Even then it might take 2 or 3 days for them to kick in and then I am really a hurting unit. So... I think if I can get the bowels working that the weight will drop too. My friend/hairdresser told me today that a doctor who is a specialist in dieting recommends anyone with issues of not losing weight on a good diet and exercise routine or has reached a plateau take 1000mcg of vitamin B12 a day. So I’m going to give it a go!Anyway, not much else new today so I’ll close for now and see you tomorrow. Debbie
