As in the majority of most women's daily life there is some sort of diet/exercise plan. Whether the plan involves wine and cheese, martinis and the yard boy or a very precise regime it takes time and focus to accomplish what is set out to do. I am one who is not focus oriented and determination is not in my vernacular. But as in most things change can be good. So the goal for me is a 50 lb loss in no direct amount of time. I began yesterday with a 45 minute walk and no hooch. Doesn't sound like much but I am a gal who loves her evening cocktail and does not discriminate toward any type of intoxicating liquor but I believe giving up the hooch during the week will be a key step for me. When I consume "the drink" I don't walk any farther than necessary. The next hurdle will be relinquishing Coca-Cola from my weekly diet. None of the diet stuff will be substituted - cold turkey. I believe the unleaded version is just as bad for you as the leaded version. When I chug a cola it is a full on sugar and 140 calorie intake for moi. The final thing will be no fast food - no more Chick Fil A, Starbucks or anything with a drive up window.

I only posted this because I can't say I will do something and not do it. Now, I have to.

So I as set this ship in motion removing and adding things to make a more healthy lifestyle think about me as you are eating that medium rare steak with blue cheese crumbles and those crispy steak fries and washing it down with a perfectly poured Amberbock draught beer. I'll be the gal in the corner eating her waiter's face off because she is so damn hungry and delusional.
