Celeste Takes Back: Short bloglet- What would you like to see?

Short bloglet- What would you like to see?

I am making efforts to be more consistent with my posting- my goal is to post at least once a week- but I am having idea issues. So lemons from lemonade- if you are reading this what would you like to see? Are there any aspects of health and weight loss that you think I should look into? Would you like to see recipes or menus, exercise routines, links, reviews?

The sky is the limit, and hey if this post accomplishes nothing else I've given myself a few ideas :D

Take care until next time!

Thanks Nicole! I am actually taking steps in that direction :D I am starting a blog that will link to this one called Celeste cooks healthy. Recipes, food tips, products that I've liked etc. I too need to get more up on the exercise routines myself so that's also a fantastic idea. Staying on track too. Great suggestions, every one!

I love Oxygen magazine - it always has a ton of exercise tips & not too much beauty or fluff pieces.

Hi Celeste
wow, it seems that we have alot in commmon. My highest weight was also 288 (scared me! and I started losing) but I have been hovering around 260 for awhile. my goal is to get under 200 to start with. I also am a crafty sort. I love all kinds of different craft except knitting, just can't get the hang of it. :-( I also have a 7 year old, but I also have a 9 and a 14yo too!
I'd love to hear more about how you are doing. Good luck and I will be trying too. Gonna start hooping!

Hi Cathy, thanks and yes it does sound like we have a bit in common :D Thank you so much for posting a comment, I have sorely been neglecting my poor little blog!!!

Statistics and game plan (updated 7-16-11)

I have embarked on a journey towards a healthier life style through dietary changes, increased activity and positive attitude.

I began this journey at 288 pounds in the spring of 2009.

Currently I weigh 212 pounds.

My game plan is as follows:

I am following a lower carb higher protein and healthy fat diet. It's working well for me, carbs were making me crazy and jittery so they had to get cut. I feel much more balanced and healthy now. I mostly drink water and unsweetened iced tea- no more artificial sweeteners, or at least a lot less. Stevia is my sweetener of choice with occasional sucralose, xylitol or erythritol. I tend to avoid aspartame and saccharine like the plague- they're really not good for anyone and particularly not good for the love of my life- he bloats and gets so sick if he has any.

I am progressively becoming more active. I enjoy hula hooping, swimming, cycling, walking, dancing and my job has me on my feet and active for 8 hours a day. I've also started to take up horse back riding. I love it so far- it seems to work my most problematic areas better than anything else I've found (my rear and thighs, lol!)

Ideally I wanted to loose a total of 100 pounds. I'm down 76 so far, only 24 more to go before I evaluate where I am and where I want to be. I can do this!
