What's Happening?

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I'm finding it difficult to find enough time to keep the blog updated on a regular basis. Katie and I are also finding it difficult to consistently do the Eat to Live Plan. One of the reasons is that we have both been sick and it requires planning to make sure you have ingredients on hand. We had a discussion about this the other day, and I also had a discussion with #1 son...in age that is...who is just finishing up his nutrition degree.

To make a long story short...and as a result of all the discussions...we have basically come to the conclusion that "everything in moderation" and "less calories in than out" and "regular exercise is key" are the most important things. Lots of these plans are very good and work, but most if not all are very hard to stick to. I've said before that as soon as one gets off their routine, or goes on a holiday, or other things, that it is very difficult to get back on a regimented routine.

My Doctor actually says the same thing, which is why he prescribes pills rather than telling people to live a healthier lifestyle and they will likely not need the pills. But in his experience people have good intentions generally but also generally just don't maintain over time.

So I am not stopping the blog completely, but I think you can all see where we're coming from now.

When I think of it, I will post the odd time, discussing our success or lack of as we move forward. We have had plenty of experience with no sucess as far as weight loss goes, all the way back to when we both quit smoking.

So thanks for stopping in....

until later.....
