My next poem will probably be the about the Battle of the Bulge.
I started the Fat Smash Diet on September 6th, I think. The 9 days of detox was tough. I only cheated with a couple of pieces of fried chicken and a piece of chocolate. Otherwise, I had my daily oatmeal, brown rice, milk, yogurt and all the fruit and vegetables I could eat. The one thing I didn't do that I was supposed to was the 4 egg whites. I don't have time to be standing over the stove at 6 a.m. to make no eggs!
So far, I've lost 12 pounds! And I really have changed my mindset about food and cravings. I haven't had ice cream in 3 weeks except for a yogurt bar when the ice cream truck came for a reward at work. What I do have to watch is the desire to take a little piece of chocolate. Those little mini bars may seem small but they are big in danger. The only thing I still crave is french fries. Yesterday, we had cheesecake at work to celebrate birthdays but I didn't even look at it! That's great for me...even though I know I could make a cheesecake better than Costco (no, I'm not proud!).
I just need to be more disciplined about the exercise. I walk twice a week, try to park in the garage so I walk to our office at work, and going up and down the stairs housecleaning can be an aerobic exercise (I hate housecleaning...I need a maid!). But that also means going to bed earlier so, it's almost 10:30...time to finish ironing my gray shirt to wear with my blue pants tomorrow so I can hit that pillow!

A year later...

Well, it's a year later. I wish I could be like other people and post something everyday. And I need to post something everyday. Writers write. And we should write SOMETHING....ANYTHING..every day. But life gets in the way.
