Introduction Text It's been about 2 years since I've checked in. I gained 30 pounds in the last two years. I've also been on Long Term disability from work for 2 years. Since I still can't work, they let me go 3 days ago. But God is SO GOOD! Yesterday I was awarded SSDI, and a week ago was notified I will keep the Insurance LTD. I am grateful for God's love, my life, my family and friends and have every reason to keep on hoping for the future. I have a couple of autoimmune diseases (Rheumatoid Disease (RA) and Sjogren's Syndrome (SS)). Also Fibromyalgia, Diabetes T2, Hypoglycemia, Metabolic Syndrome, Reactive Hypoglycemia, Dysautonomia, Degenerative Disc Disease, Sciatica, PID-IGg Sub 1,3 ++++ many other conditions = CHRONIC PAIN, FATIGUE, FOGGY BRAIN Current weight: 1/23/17: 228.2 (Ugg-per Dr office - 2lb) 12/16/08: 245.2 (starting weight) 1/1/09: 243.2 1/17/09: 241.6 1/31/09: 241 11/29/10: 209.2 wow - 36 lbs since start 12/19/10: 208.8 2/1/11: 205.4 2/20/11: 205.4 1/29/13: 212.8 6/24/13: 212 8/12/13: 211.6 3/1/15: 201.4 Thank you, SP, for being there for me, inspiring me, and showing me new ways to be healthy.

My current goal is to eat according to my high protien plan for 30 days straight. I'm expecting to lose 5-10 pounds per month, but pounds are not the focus. I am aiming for a healthy relationship with food. My final weight goal is 145 pounds.

I will celebrate ?? each day I stick to the plan, ?? each time I see a loss on the scale, and ?? when I lose inches. My plan includes: - Asking God to help me stay on my plan every morning - Planning my food the night before - journal or blog daily - reaching out to others - practice mindfulness to: Reduce stress Focus on the important things in life Improve clarity - eliminate added sugar - eat whole foods The food plan is a high protein, low carb following the template: Breakfast: 4P + 1ST + 1 FR Snack: (1P or 1F) + (1 ST or 1V or 1D) Lunch: 4P + 4V + 3F Snack: (1P or 1F) + (1 ST or 1V or 1D) Dinner: 3P + 4V + 3F P = protein V = Vegetable (nonstarchy) ST = Starch/Grain FR = Fruit D = Dairy F = Fat - tracking inches - weighing once a month

My name is Jill and I live in Alabama. I have a wonderful husband and two young adult children, a new son-in-law, two mini-dachshunds, and a sweet tabby cat. They all bring me joy and inspiration to get healthy.
