Quote - Ok, Acadia, I think you just talked me into actually using the DVD my sister sent me a couple of years ago. Pilates for the Decrepid, or something like that. ;) The diet is gonna be harder: I don't eat flesh, fish or fowl. Having dieted only twice in my life pre-back-injury, I'm lost. Think I'll just try throwing out the mayo and all snack-type foods. Maybe lots of apples instead? shrug

Let me dig out a sensible eating plan menu that I have that counts food groups and gives a list of foods that you can eat and the portions to have. It's "dieting" for dummies because it follows the diabetic way of life for food groups IE: cheese is protein not dairy.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
