I've started a new eating/exercise plan called The Pink Method. I saw it on Dr. Phil so I though perhaps it would be worth a try. I really want to get my body in shape - I feel somewhat like it has betrayed me... I know that in reality I have made my body the way it is, but the things I used to be able to do I can't do any more. I started the plan yesterday - the first two weeks is mainly protein and veggies - and then after that you add in quite a few other foods. I am cooking the same stuff for the rest of the family, just adding in some type of starch food for them also. I feel that I am carb sensitive so I think this will be good for me. I have 40-45 pounds to lose and really want to get them off so I don't have to start my 50s overweight like I have been in my 40s.
The thing I am most worried about is the plantar fasciaitis in my right foot which will make some exercise difficult. I have always enjoyed walking and haven't been able to walk since mid-summer. It is still extremely painful after 6+ months. The insert for my shoe helps marginally but doesn't seem to be a long term solution.
Also - I have the added stress that I have to go in for a follow up test to my mammogram I had last Friday. I trust that God will not give me more that I can handle and will see me through in this.
