You know even though I sy i want to update my blog on a dialy basis, i never seem to be able to do it. I forget, or i get busy. Whatever.

So my past week haas been very stressful. I have been trying to diet and consumming an average of 1200 calories a day. How did i come to that number you ask? Well, you see, I have basically a sendentary lifestyle and any more and i maintain, so that number without changing anything else, such as activity level, will allow me to lose about a pound a week, which is not a bad goal. By counting calories, rather than carbs or fat, I can still eat the same foods,bread, meat, etc, just less. seems to be working i think i have lost a pound or two. it is gonna be a loong journey, but i am willing to hang on till the end

Friday night I asked Donna S.to be my new sponser. She is a woman that I have respected and been in awe of since i moved to Eugene. Hopefully I will be able to move forward in my recovery and learn new things with her as my guide.

Went to the casino in florence yesterday. i broke even. We had fun.
