My partner in weight loss

My Alli.  Yep, I've decided to give Alli a chance.  I read about it online while watching Lost.  I called and talked to a representative about it.  She was extremely helpful and suggested I talk to my doctor. 

I went to speak to my doc and she thought it might be a good idea.  Particularly, to teach me how to cook and enjoy foods with low fat content.  She gave me a free starter kit (20 day supply) so I'm giving it a try. 

It has some nasty side effects if you eat more than your fat allowance per meal.  I won't get into the details but they are pretty gross.  I logged into the website this morning and it is the most comprehensive website I've ever seen.  

They have meal plans, shopping lists, other resources.  It is a lot like WW, but I think the pills will help to keep me from overeating and indulging.   The meal plans help with suggestions and methods of cooking without butter (hmmmm) and other fatty items.  I find that is where I have trouble is keeping the portions and fatty foods out of my diet.  

 I'm excited to try this so maybe this will be the last time I lose weight.

Back to work

Today will be first day working out at the gym in weeks.  Eek!  I'm scared.  I will be tackling the elliptical machine along with butt and legs.  

My physical therapist is slowly adding activity to see where to make modifications in my exercise routine.  We have an appointment on Friday which I'm looking forward to seeing how I respond to today's workout.

I just bought 2 new iTunes songs so the workout mix is complete!

Until next time...
