After a 6-month Sabatical

I might be back...again.  There's something about ep that I can't get away from.  Not sure exactly what it is, but I keep coming back.  Yes, even after becoming a lazy baboon.

So, what's happened since I last blogged back in May?  Let's see.  It all started when I read the book Fat, Broke, and Lonely No More in late-May/June.  In July, I started going to a weekly Overeaters Anonymous meeting.  That has helped me get over the guilt, but then I started justifying a whole bunch of stuff and had to take another look at myself. 

I've pretty much stayed between 216 and 222 for the last few months while I've tried to get over myself and into my psyche...figuring out all the reasons I overeat and all that jazz.  Let me tell you, it has been an adventure.  One that hasn't always been terribly exciting.

About 3 weeks ago, I really started watching my diet again.  Re-read Dr. Phil's Ultimate Weight Loss Solution and decided that I needed to do SOMETHING, even if it wasn't that plan.  Then I started researching Alli, and decided to incorporate that into my strategy.  I started my plan of eating last weekend, and started taking Alli Friday night.  So far, I haven't experienced any of the treatment effects, but I'm not sure that I'll notice if I do.  Since my gall bladder was removed almost 7 years ago, I've had a fairly wonky digestive system.

What else?  Oh, a week ago, I finally figured out what was wrong with my elliptical (after ignoring it for many months).  Got it fixed in about 5 minutes.  I hope that does the trick...permanently.  I'm starting my exercise routine again after Thanksgiving.

Eeeek...Thanksgiving.  That's a post all it's own, I think!  But I'll have to do it later.  Time to get showered and dressed so we can get our grocery shopping done before lunch.  I'm going to try to make some rounds today and read up on y'all.
