Today I started a diet under the direction of a Dr. in Georgia. He is a Chinese medicine Dr. as well as a gastrointerologist and a research Dr. 

The herbal elixir I have to drink is nasty! But I think over time it will become more palatable. I am on a strict 1000 calorie diet with the elixer taken two or three times a day. The elixer is supposed to speed up the weight loss and curb the hunger in between meals. I am also taking a water pill in the morning and I drink LOTS of water throughout the day. I am hungry but I am pushing through this!! I will lose this weight!!! 

Today I walked 4 miles!! WooHoo!! Hey that's a pretty big deal for me!! I am a little sun damaged from the walk. I bought the nordic walking poles last night  and tried them out today! Pretty amazing gadgets. I felt like they forced me to stand up straighter while I walked. My oldest daughter also tried them out and really liked them, I used them for a mile of the walk she used them the other 3 miles. I think she needs to get her own!

I will try to keep this updated on my journey through this plan! Please feel free to comment and leave words of encouragement--I'll need them!!!
