I have "done" more diets in my lifetime than I can list.....and my body knows it.
This past Monday, I decided to "DO" a diet I have never done before. That was actually hard to find! Through the years, I have done many diets that were expensive. My criteria for this time was it must not be expensive, nor too unrealistic to follow. Anyway, I decided to follow the Slim-Fast 1-2-3 plan. I'm not big on missing "food" for a meal, but I need to show my body that I could control this huge desire to eat.
So, I went to Wal-Mart and bought a case of Slim-Fast.
Gonna give it a try.
Also, found a really neat website....FREE. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/. I'm a "gadget" person and spend a great deal of time on the web, so it was fitting! It will track your weight loss with calories, food journal, weights, with extra tools for BMI, BMR and others. Also comes with a community chat room. Very nice site for FREE! Very similar to other sites I have been a paid member of. Check it out.
So far....I have lost 4 lbs. Was 5lbs yesterday, but ate fried fish at the beach last night and decrease in my walking, so even though I was within my calorie limit, believe the fried part cause some fluid retention. I know better.It was my only meal yesterday, but should have chosen the the broiled fish. The lessons continue...

So, I probably need to set some mini-goals. The first thing I needed to do was see if I was going to stick to this plan or not. So far, I am impressed with myself! As much as I like to eat, didn't know if I could do it one time a day for a meal. Of course, the apples and bananas help tremendously.
Next on the list is to start...TODAY...the 30 day shred video from Jillian Michael's. That I am dreading! She is a BEAST! I enjoy watching The Biggest Loser...but she scares me! Seriously! But, according to all the friends on my new-found website....this is an awesome video for results! Just hope I can walk tomorrow!
OK....just wanted to state all of this publicly so maybe I will be accountable!!!
Beach Week is 5 weeks from today......think I'll put in the video for a preview first......gotta psych myself u for this!
