Every time I get the ambition to lose weight, I always contemplate if it’d be more effective to find a diet plan to follow (such as the “Sonoma Diet, which I tried last spring) or if I can do it just by cutting back on my calories and snacks.  I think I like the quicker results of the diet plans, but in all reality, I tend to do better if I can find something that I can do on a daily basis that doesn’t require a lot of extra work.  Well, to be honest, I need something that doesn’t require any extra work.  I have my lazy moments.  

 I hoping that I’ll see the scale move a little this week if I cut back on my portions, eliminate unnecessary snacks, and increase my exercise.  I figure I might as well give it a try.
