    Thanks @Ketch_22. This will be my second. So yeah, the 20 mins exercise although not much is a challenge at the moment and will be the first few weeks, but I'll be back I hope!

    Heh! I changed my name or moniker or pseudonym or whatever again.
    So I am back down to zero posts.
    I don't know why I keep doing that.
    Maybe I think my name is too silly. Can't have crazy in my name, that is too weird. But it does kind of work.
    Can't have grandpa in my name. I am not really a grandpa. I am only a surrogate grandpa.
    But hey, that counts as something good I think.
    I like hearing from @am_change and I like that she recognizes me through all of my nom de plume permutations. Here is a tip of my hat to the new baby in the works.

    Eh, for as long as I been doing or following the UAC thing I seldom make the winners circle.
    But I still get a darn good influence on my habits or behaviors.

    Thinking about it. Just thinking about it. I got a magnetic whiteboard on my refrigerator door. I got the whiteboard pen stuck right on it. Whenever I get anything out of the refrigerator writing it down is right there. So that part.

    These days I think about the difference between work and exercise. I ain't totally figured this out so I shouldn't be sticking my oar in. But I kind of think work isn't exercise. For me anyway.

    So sometimes I get a pass day on exercise because I didn't figure my "work" counted for any kind of exercise burn. But I might reconsider in a couple of weeks.

    Nevermind that. Let's shred some pounds.

    I'm from Kansas City, Missouri where we are floating away since the rain never stops here.

    I have 3 kids, 22, 17, and 15. And the biggest kid yet my husband.

    Due to having several health issues and total laziness I put on weight. That is the honest truth. Certain meds make it hard to lose or even make you gain. It is an uphill battle. I am working to lose it successfully. I have changed my diet to a low carb diet. I have been tracking my macros. Believe me it is hard to eat out when everything has such massive amounts of carbs. And now looking back at what I have cooked for dinner for the past few years it was all carbs and some protein.

    We just moved so I am trying to get the kitchen together so I can make some of the recipes I have saved. I want to try something new each day to see if it is something everyone else will eat too. I'm not making separate meals.

    I am looking forward to help with the accountability and to make this weightloss journey successful.
