Well here it is, Monday January 11, 2010, exactly one week into my “change of lifestyle”. No it’s not a diet; it’s a way of life! Okay, it may be a little like a diet.
I’ve drank so much water this week I sound like Austin Powers after he’s de-thawed every time I go to the bathroom. You know when you go into the bathroom and the person in the stall next to you keeps peeing, and peeing, and peeing, and peeing, and peeing, and peeing until you think they may never stop? That’s ME. I have a bladder the size of a thimble and I’m drinking about 4 litres of water a day, so imagine all the exercise I get going back and forth to the bathroom all day.
Well that’s multi-tasking for you! Seriously, I’ve decided to “eat clean” this year to attempt to shed the mere forty five pounds I’ve been toting around all of 2009 and to feel better overall. This means no sugar, no white flour, no artificial sweeteners, etc. So far so good, I have discovered my bladder works and there is sugar in EVERYTHING!
I haven’t had diet coke for a week and I’m just fine, no crankiness (right honey?!?!) and no headaches… ok may one or four headaches, but I’m NOT BITCHY!
I’ve exercised three times in this past week and my legs are so stiff they feel like the bendy parts are fused together. I went for a walk with Scott yesterday and had a lovely bonding time while exercising.
Scott made some great suggestions, such as how about we take a walk in the van, after a block, how about he goes back and gets the van, when we walked by Electronic Arts he suggested I leave him there and go on without him. He kept stopping and stretching his legs like he’d just run a marathon. It was GREAT, thanks honey!
Anyway, if you are reading this and are not my imaginary friend, feel free to comment and give me suggestions on losing weight. And yes Scott, I understand going to the bathroom helps you lose weight, but that doesn’t count!
Stay tuned for more fun and exciting times in the life of me…
My life is a comedy of errors with a total of four children (1 his, 2 mine and 1 ours), a husband, an ex husband, a full time job as a Manager and a warped sense of humour. Come along with me but strap on your seatbelt, and enjoy the ride. No throwing pop corn from the back seat.

You're off to a good start! I would recommend eat lots of lean protiens, lots of complex carbs. Space out your meals so you're eating small portions through the day that keeps your metabolism working and keeps you burning calories.
ReplyDeleteTry to excersise at least 20-30 mins a day. Even low areobic excerise is good. Combine this with a light weight training program to improve muscle tone. More muscle tone will help keep your metabolism burning.
Make short term goals for your weight loss. How much do you want to lose in month?
Finally, stay away from "fad" diets and "lose weight quick" diets! Those never work!
