The World According to Leslie

Short update: 1. I lost 10 lbs. last week.  I'm watching my calories.  I'm feeling a little more energy. 2. Dad is back in the hospital.  It's not his heart this time! :)  However, he's very sick.  He has a fluid and infection in his left leg.  The MRI/CT (we aren't sure which they did....and they keep saying different things!)  showed that there is a LOT of swelling (edema) at his ankle and heel, knee, and hip.  He can barely stand up to walk to the bathroom. :(  HOWEVER.... I know God is in control.  Dad always says, "God's got a plan!"  I guess we just have to wait to see what it is.

Now...however...I am the overweight adult.  I have tried (and succeeded) several times to lose weight. Unfortunately, the keeping it off is always my downfall.  I do really well....until I hit that plateau where I stop losing at a rapid rate.  Then I start getting aggravated.  I start "cheating".  Today, I am starting on a new "old" journey.  I am starting Herbalife today.  The last time I used Herbalife, I lost about 70 lbs. from January to June.  (Then came the plateau!) This time, I really need to lose a LOT!  I'd rather not post my actual weight on here right now.  So.... next week, I will just post how much I lost! :)  Then....  one day.... I will post my weight totals....  when...
