The Weight Issue...Yes, Again!!

Ok Ladies,

I am committed to losing weight now more than ever. I started out doing well. Walking just about every morning around my neighborhood for about 30-45 minutes. I felt great. Then the heat and humidity set in. And I just couldn't face it. So I have been slacking. Another problem is my diet. Now before you yell or suck your teeth, let me explain. I work nights and rarely eat when I work because either I'm too busy or just don't feel like it. If I eat late at night, I feel sick, so I don't eat late at night. The problem is that when I get off, I go straight home and hit the bed. I sleep until about 2p. When I wake up I may not eat until 5p or 6p then back to work. So basically I'm only eating 1 meal a day. Not good for my metabolism. Besides, I really don't eat very much in the summertime. It's just too hot to eat. So, I have to figure out how and what to eat to solve this part of the problem. Any suggestions? Also, I will be walking it out with Leslie (Walk Away the Pounds) at least 3 times a week. It would be great to hear some encouragement to keep me going (hint, hint).

I want/need to lose 40 lbs by Christmas. Wish me luck!!!
