My First Step

My first step is creating this blog.  At this time I have no real plan.  I just woke up today and decided it is time.  I have been unsuccessfully dieting for the past 4 months or so.  I believe I have not done real bad in terms of what I have been eating.  I will acknowledge the obvious, that I can improve.  The biggest problem over the most recent attempt is my back problem.  The problem being 3 ruptured discs that will not heal.  Any kind of physical activity makes me almost non mobile for a few days.  I am talking even as little as sanding for an extended time.  Keep in mind I am not crying about the issue.  I realize I put myself here. I just have accepted that I will need to push through the pain to get to the other side.  Along the way if anyone has any ideas or tips I do have large ears.
