Introduction Text I have been on a diet since I was 12. I finally found something that let me lose 45 lbs and I was able to maintain for the over a year! This is amazing for me. Then I let myself go back to the old way of eating, even if compliant with the new way of eating. Far too much processed starch and large meals. I have gained back 30 lbs so back on the wagon I climb AGAIN. I am part of a group on Facebook called Operation Brickhouse and this is a group of ladies that do 8 week challenges. I did it in January and lost 20 but have gained back 10 of that. Ideally I would like to lose 50 but for this 8 week challenge I am shooting for 20. They have a daily checklist that works with any diet you choose to follow so I am going to cut myself some slack.

Log my food -must follow what I am limiting at this time and It is important that I log my food and stay in parameters - I found this to be total key.

Doing deep water workouts 3x weekly, or my Total Gym and under desk bike, Yoga and Y classes as a second sometimes- they compliment each other well. I have found that I can do after work water aerobics/jogging so I have been doing that several times a week as well.

As a teacher I read all of the time and really like self help books and teacher philosophy books but for brain candy - I enjoy erotic literature, and historical romances and Fantasy fiction like Harry Potter. I enjoy Contemporary Christian Music, Musical Sound Tracks and older soft rock but mostly I like silence. Favorite TV shows are currently on Hulu: The Good Wife, The Good Doctor and Young Sheldon and Saturday Night Live on Starz: Outlander On Net Flix: Crown. I have love Criminal Minds and CSI type shows. Black Mirror was great as we Orange is the New Black. Big Bang Theory we watched every episode. I don't go to the movies very often but enjoy when I go. I am a very busy woman so I get to watch t.v. for about 1 hour a night and on snow days and when I am ill which is rarely. Also lately we have been a bit obsessed with the news.
