I am back on track!!

Last February I was laid off from my job. I received a severance package so I took 2 weeks off before I started looking for a job. I finally got another job and I started May 9. My new job has a shuttle bus that takes you to the employee parking lot. It is pretty far away. Since I started the job, I have not ridden the shuttle. I get to work early and walk from the lot to the hospital and after work I walk back to the lot. In April I only lost 5 lbs, but I have lost 13 lbs so far this month and it is not over yet. I realize now that I was probably not exercising enough before I went back to work. I now know that I must exercise to reach my goal. I read something the other day. It said that you should eat within 1 hour of waking. It said that this speeds up your metabolism. So I make sure that I either eat breakfast or drink a protein shake when I wake up. Also I am trying to eat every 3 hours. This also speeds up your metabolism. The book I read this from has a website. It is jorgecruise.com. Lynn J., lap RNY 9/29/04 -118 lbs.
