So my pants have teamed up against me and have turned into part boa constrictors! It is very much like the poem by Shel Silverstein where he describes being eaten by a boa constrictor and not liking it very much. They make it up to my thighs and then really sink their teeth (disguised as buttons and zippers) into my waist.
Ok, ok, so maybe it really is that I have gotten a little lax on what I am eating and how much I am exercising. I have tried to get back into going to the gym, but my recliner has an amazing grip on me!
Well, I am ready to tame the wild beasts battling against me! I am trying the Shred Revolutionary Diet by Dr. Ian Smith. The promise emblazoned the front of the book states that following the plan outlined in the book will enable me to lose 4 inches and 2 sizes. I anticipate that perhaps that 4 inches is around my waist which is perfect, but I don't know that I read any clarification on that. As long as the 4 inches doesn't come from my height...I don't think I could go back to not being able to reach items on the top shelf at the grocery store again.
So today was day one. I followed the meal plan pretty well, only missing a snack. Is it horrible that I missed 100 calories of sweetness. I am guessing that was an ok maneuver, especially since I got my doses of veggies and fruits covered. We had prepped the food for this week yesterday, which was a great so that I didn't have to do all the prep work before each meal! The food was good and stuff I would eat more often if it was ready!
I also went to Planet Fitness to begin my workout routine. I recorded my weight and even took "before" pictures. Feeling pretty good, but tired for the day. The tired could also be attributed to the other laborious work during the day.
I appreciate any and all encouragement in this endeavor. I am going to do my best to keep you updated on my progress.
