Here goes nothing....

Good morning......this is my first post on my blog...I am not sure if I will like this blogging thing but I am going to give it my all and hope it helps me.  2 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 3, 2d melanoma.  I am cancer free after 5 surgeries!  After my last surgery (August 2010) I gained right around 30 pounds, I went from a size 10 to a 14 (and they are getting tight) and I am going to try really hard to go down to a size12.  I have refused to buy any new clothes, when I go shopping I buy shoes, make-up, perfume, jewelry, purses....nothing that really has a size.  I have lost a little bit of weight and I did reward myself with a new pair of sneakers....WOW!  I am going to blog about my daily routine, food, thoughts and hope that it helps me and maybe someone else.   I woke up early this morning (well, early for me) 8:30 am and I started this blog right away...(I set this goal last night) Yea!  I have a schedule for the rest of the day and hope I can stick with it.....I purchased the PINK Program (I heard about it from Dr. Oz)  I never watch his show but happened to flip to that channel and watched it and it must have been an impulse purchase because I got right up and ordered it....it came in a few days and I read the book cover to cover 4 times.  I am not sure what I think about it....it tells you to good and the bad and what to eat....I know, I know....this is in every diet plan....the thing I don't like about it is the food you need to buy....I don't like out of the ordinary crap and quite frankly...I don't want to spend the money on that stupid food....(quail, blue fin tuna, sushi, and more dumb food)  I am sure it is healthy and good for you but I need a plan where my husband will eat what I am eating and cooking so I am going to try and follow their meal plan as close as I can and do their exercise plan...that is up next for me and I will let you know how this day went - tomorrow!  Have a great everyone - Tootles, PJ
