It's Kick Off Time

So tomorrow is my "kick off" day. Starting tomorrow on the road to healthful living. My goal is to lose as much weight as possible by Mother's Day May 11th. I've been debating between low-fat, low-carb and Weight Watchers. So tomorrow it's a toss up on what I will pick. But right now I'm leaning toward low carb. I know I have way too much sugar in my diet so low carb will help with wean myself from my sugar habits. Also I have a condition called Tinea Versicolor and read that carbohydrates and sugar seem to aggravate this condition. And my life-long love affair with coca-cola (also pepsi) has not served me well. My problem is I'm not a huge meat lover and with all the recent news about the meat processing plant in California...well, that pretty much sealed the coffin on red meat. I plan on eating a diet of chicken, fish, eggs, cheese and such along with veggies. I hope this plan will prove successful. If I really feel the craving for beef then I hope to find a Kosher deli and will go there to purchase meat. I haven't weighed yet today so I have no idea what my starting weight is. I figure it is around 196-199. So tomorrow will be a time of adjustment and getting used to a sugar free lifestyle.
