Back to posting and back to tracking my food.
I track my food on livestrong only because I have been on that site long enough that most of my regular foods are in the data base and easy for me to find. I have not tried other sites long enough to full know if I would like them better. Caulk it up to just plain laziness on my part.



Breakfast
egg ,sausage and rice fried in a touch of olive oil .

This is a normal breakfast for me . I am grain free with the exception of rice. For those of you that may be new to reading my blog , I have celiac disease and am soy , gluten, mostly grain free.I eat very few processed foods . I eat very healthy ( I think) I just tend to eat to much ,lol.

Back again :)

I have not been posting since May.
I have not worked since May .
I basically took the summer off to play and have fun. I had a great time just spending time with my grandchildren.
But I am back to work starting Monday , fall is here in northwestern Pa so I am back to posting and tracking my weight loss.
Be forewarned my post may be boring,lol , some what technical in nature.

I see all these wonderful blogs that I follow , they are so well written and witty.
I am not much of a writer. So there may be days were I post just the facts .
 But these facts are important to me and  my journey .
I find that  I do so much better in my weight loss when I am tracking and posting.
I was 192.6 on  6/25
I am 182.4 on 9/15
not bad for the summer months.

182.4 puts me down 50 pounds since Jan 2012 and 74 pounds down from my highest weight of 256 .
 
 The fun and games are over ( for now ,lol) and time to get back to work and back to losing the extra poundage .

So hang on to your hats , it is going to be a bumpy ride :)
