Which Plan?

I have been struggling because I didn't really have a plan to follow. I've tried so many different plans and stay on them for a week or two, or a couple months, but I always fail. When I joined a page on FaceBook called 52 lbs in 52 weeks, I was tossing around the idea of going vegan again with a plan called Eat to Live. I have done a plan called Trim Healthy Mama, which is sort of like carb cycling. I've counted calories. I ate 1400 calories a day for years...and I still have the books that I recorded them in. THM was so dairy heavy. I loved eating it, but I couldn't lose weight. The ETL speaks to me, but was so difficult for me to stay on. I started researching again. I had followed the DASH diet and counted calories before and lost weight. I was working out for almost 2 hours every day, also. Well, I found a book that I purchased on Amazon, and I think I'm going back on the DASH diet for health and weight loss. Til the next pound down!

5 Years

Wow. 5 years, almost to the day, since I last posted on this blog. A lot has happened, including missing a whole year of my life to sarcoma and chemo. I'm trying to start again, I really am. I have struggled with which type of diet to follow. THM is too dairy-heavy and meat-heavy. I think I really need to keep the calorie count lower than that. I am playing with Eat To Live and the nutritarian style, but I just keep falling off. I thought that cancer would scare me into wanting to eat healthier, but it hasn't. What can I do to find the motivation? I'm just tired.

I'm. Just. Tired.
