Well, fellow eDiets people, here we are at the Holiday season and on the cusp of a new year.  I just wanted to post this to let anyone who might like to know that i've made a conscious decision to back away from active participation on this site.  I still do look around here now and then, but nothing regular.  It's just that I am not where I want to be, weight loss and exercise-wise.  I know that i have to right, health wise before i can tackle all of the things i need to tackle here at eDiets.  I cannot say that things are really bad, though. I have been at the weight I am, 235 lbs. since summer.  It's good, also, that my blood counts have risen and that i am feeling better.  I think that all that is stopping me from feeling really good is a poor diet and lack of physical activity.  That being the case, i will do what i did five years ago and make the decision to lose the weight and get physically fit, starting in 2009.

Until i make some headway, though, i will not be here.  I know what it is i have to do, and i will figure it out.  I have tried to be something of a role model and a quite "vocal" cheerleader for folks here.  However, i truly believe that you have to walk the walk in order to talk the talk, and as of right now i cannot tell anyone what to do when i haven't been doing it myself.  I even thought at one point of leaving eDiets, but just couldn't bring myself to do it .  I have no doubt that i will get to where i want to be, until then......take care, be safe, have a great Holiday season.

PEACE
