2012 Down and UP

Well 2012 did not end where I had hoped it would but I have learned alot and that is the important thing.

I am down 2 pounds for the whole year.   For total loss of 90 lbs. the bad part is that is about 20 over where I was in May.  I simply quit logging and following what was working so well for me.  I  actually   was pretty stable through the summer up about  5 lbs  then  this  fall I  added  about 4 lbs. a month.   I  know I needed a break. 
Now I need to get back on the plan.  I am not  happy with where I am and I do not like how I feel.  I know that logging my food is  critical and I have to move more each and every day.

I have logged  438 miles on the treadmill and hit 3.5 million steps with my fitbit since Aug 1,2011.  That is a great thing but the 277 miles
