Portion Sizes

that right there is my issue. I skipped the chance to have the worlds best coffee cake today. That was my only real temptation in the last 12 days of not having dessert. I ended up eating a medium pepperoni pizza with 10 wings and 2 sodas. I remember the last time I ate like this. It was when I put on my freshman 40...

Current Projects and Thoughts

1. not eating dessert for the rest of the month. I realize that I shouldn't have told everyone about this because they don't get it...I'm just trying to brush up on will power.
2. not watching t.v. for the rest of the month
3. no McDonald's for the rest of the year (last meal was on September 30). This one might be hard because when I'm making life decisions I like to be comforted with a Big Mac Combo...it represents something that has been constant in my life
4. I'm fat. The scale says I'm 159 but in resent pictures I look more like 179. I want to never eat again.
5. I am always on a diet. Oh well, if it keeps me from going back to the 170's...IT'S ALL GOOD.

and the saga continues!!!

Personal Weight Loss Tips

• I need at least a 3 month period where my schedule is not expected to change
• a goal event where it would be nice to lose weight by but no the end of the world if I don't lose a lot
• plan my workouts

What Had Happen Was

I ate 9 cupcakes this weekend. It started with the grand re-opening sale at Old Navy where I bought not one but two wool coats at half off for the winter. They are beautiful and make me feel beautiful. And the free cupcakes and cake was a bonus!

So that was only 3 cupcakes on Saturday morning. Oh, let me back it up; on Friday I went to a CFL game (where the B.C. Lions lost horribly) and ended up eating at Red Robins at midnight and even had dessert. Fast forward to last night where I had a 6-pack of cupcakes, again.

It's a new day...I'm moving on...gonna hit the gym this morning...

THIS IS IT

I'm not referring to the Michael Jackson movie but to my D.I.E.T.

I more or less started today. The 5th seems like a nice enough day to start the diet that I know will lead me to 144. Coincidentally, it's exactly eight weeks from now until the end of the year.

Now the thing about this diet is that I will eat whatever I want. Because that's what I did in October and I'm still in the 150's.

Matter of fact this shouldn't be called a diet. Tyra's show yesterday was about "getting your shape in shape". Everything about it was cool except her "if you bite it, write it" rule. That's the different between a diet and a life change. If I'm writing what I'm eating down that means I'm dieting despite what Ms. Tyra thinks.

People who are living healthy lives and are maintaining their weight, don't walk around with diet journals. Journaling is probably the part of dieting that I do the least. I write days that I go to the gym and this year I've been writing my binges but that's about all I've written down consistently.

For the next 8 weeks I will probably weigh in everyday and write it on my mirror. And I expect to lose 1.775/week to bring down to 144 by the 31st of December.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN...

p.s Isn't Shemar Moore fione????

I bit the bullet...

and got a scale.

Got it from target...I even stepped on it...after all my binging and I`m still in the 150`s, 159.2 to be exact, after eating! I`ll take in and run...my next D.I.E.T. starts soon....
