One Day at a time

Each day gets a little easier. I still can't hear people talk about dads or see his picture without getting teary eyed but it gets easier.

I really just need to focus on my health and fitness right now. I am reading a wonderful book called FAT TO FIT and oh my gosh, do you know that if you just find the BMR of your goal weight and add 20% and eat that many calories per day and be consistent with it, you will eventually be at that goal weight and then if you keep eating that amount of calories, you will maintain that weight? It's true. ( you have to work out and burn 300-400 cals/day). Now you may only lose a pound a week or so, but you will lose. A pound a week I can do! And you know the greatest thing? My calorie limit to get to my goal weight is 2000 calories. I think I can handle that.

Rest in Peace

My dad died on August 12th. Two days after my birthday. I thought I was prepared for this but I wasn't. This is harder than I ever thought it would be. I will miss him more than words can say. He was the one person in my life before I met Rick that I knew I could always count on. I will miss him.
