well, I have finally decided I am going whole hog on this 90/10 diet thing. I've never been able to before (well I did for a while before I went to mexico) but it's going to be better now. with or without Hubby's help, I am going to lose weight.
I'm about to go for a walk to pick me up a "fun food" yes! the highlight of this diet is now you get to eat low calories but then you get a fun food from the list and yes it is a 4 page list of fun foods or if you're really hardcore, you can ditch the fun food and get a healthy exchange. :D good news all around huh?
it's odd to eat things that are good for me. and I'm really excited to be eating things that are good for me as a diabetic (so I'm doing like 6 dieting books at once) it's wild huh? I love this diet for a couple of reasons: first of all, I'm allowed to make brief substitutions for foods I don't like asperagus instead of zucchini or brocoli sounds like a fair trade and apples and oranges instead of bananas :D and as long as I don't go over my 1200 cals per, I'm good to go :D
plus I found out that walking at a good pace for half an hour can burn like 200 cals!! wow huh??
okay, so i'm eating 1200 cals and burning close to 200 (maybe a little more depending on where I walk) and I'm okay with walking to the corner store now because I can eat things from there without feeling guilty! I am so stoked!
I am going to do well on this diet so help me!
weight: 208
soon to be less

sigh. well, I don't know if my weight went up but it certainly didn't go down. hubby and I have started working on this new 90-10 diet (I totally recommend it) and we WERE starting to do it together, but the problem with doing it together is, well, you blow it together. so we hit the hut yesterday and I practically had to drag him out walking (kicking and screaming) so that was almost a bust. it's frustrating to work so hard on trying to lose weight and then blowing it. i think I should just start walking more. the problem is with living where i'm living there is literally a corner store, on every corner! and even when we try to walk to a further one, it's not that much farther than the proverbial close one. so I'm doomed to walk forever to look for one that's worth walking to. it makes chocolate way too much of a convenience and other such things that are bad for me. sigh again. I'm playing online less, or I'm trying too and walking more when I can. the rain is putting a damper on it (pun intended) and making things more frustrating when i need to walk and can't I need an umbrella or a dog to get me more motivated (spooty hubby won't let me get a puppy) not that we have room in our garage appartment to keep him/her sigh squared I should go and do some work. kissies Steve
