(This will be a boring blog for a month, go find some new cool ones to read. I'm doing something here).
So, today I weighed in at the heaviest I have for a while. I've been eating and not exercising. The frosting and brownies haven't helped. The birthday cakes, the I'm Sorry Cheesecakes, the running once a week, but only if my shoes are lucky.
But we can fix all that, right? My current work schedule allots me the afternoon. As my children slumber away at the school we all go to (except public school Crichton), I can totally exercise and and
I can be hot by my birthday if I just practice the art of delayed gratification for a month. I think.
Here's the Rules:
1. No carbs. Ok, ONE a day. That's one slice of bread, one serving or rice or pasta (tennis ball sized), one small potato. ONLY if I'm starving nigh unto death. Otherwise. NONE.
2. No sugar. That means sucrose, fructose, etc. and limited aspartame. No cakes, candy, pastries, sorbets, juice, or even fruit. Ok, one fruit per day, but ONLY if I am starving nigh unto death.
3. Eating protein and veggies. Cheese maybe. Nuts, chicken, fish, beef, pork, broccoil, carrots, celery, spinach, etc. Fresh, steamed, or cooked in the healthiest manner I can tolerate.
5. Exercising 1-2 HOURS per day. Cardio, weights, yoga, stretching, swimming, walking, dancing crazy like, whatever. Buttload of moving muscles.
6. Hover gently at 1800 calories a day.
7. No Rules on Saturday.
That's the plan, Stan, tho I am open to suggestions, if ya got 'em.
I hope to loose 2-3 pounds per week, about 10 for the month preceding my birthday.

3 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
Ah man! I get really REALLY intimidated and anxious when those around me are trying to lose weight. I've been known to sabotage people's efforts. It's a good thing you and I aren't friends in the real life. I'll try to say something encouraging now like, "good luck!" or "you can do it!" I would like to weigh your heaviest weight (146). Maybe that can be my goal. But do I have to do what you're doing- with the no carbs and stuff? Cause that just seems hard.
I'm big into the lose weight thing. I also run a whole lot (when not pregnant). Be careful running without any carbs. It takes a whole lot of energy to keep your body moving and you don't want to sabotage yourself and your weight loss by throwing your body into survival mode. You will stop losing if you aren't getting enough healthy energy for your body. I had this happen to me once. It makes trying to lose weight EXTRA hard.
I wont tell you which plans are fantastic and work wonders (I do love some) because you need what's good for your body. It might not be what's good for mine. But find some books. Different programs. Talk to your Family Physician and decide what is perfect for you.
Good luck. I hope that you reach your goal.
I may be jumping on board with you on this. I just bought some otc weight loss pills, but those kinda scare me, so Im gonna be changing the diet and workout routine as well.
