It’s taken me 2 weeks to determine this healthier lifestyle thing I’m doing is nothing but work and deprivation. Weigh-in day is today (a day early because Jerilyn is going to Eldora for the World 100) and I’m not feeling confident. If I’m even a pound less than a week ago I’ll celebrate.
A healthy diet means you eat stuff you don’t want.
Those grapes look yummy, don’t they? Welp — they were the first time I had a bunch for a snack. Week #2 and just looking at them makes me roll my eyes. Gimme a pork chop!
A healthier lifestyle must also include exercise — like walking down the road.
I’m having more trouble kick-starting my motivation this time around. The first 2 years we did this “fat chicks” 3-month diet thing I was all in. I didn’t gain after last year’s contest so I’m starting off really not caring if I lose much weight.
I do want to stay active and my brain knows I should do this all the time — not just 3-months out of the year. My body reminds me how much more fun it is to sit at the computer and play games while eating chips and dip.
Please ignore the fat roll.
My first walk yesterday was to the creek and back with Merida. She needs a LOT of practice before I take her along with another human or walk farther than that. She leaves her brain inside the fence at home but she takes her fat roll with her. (Don’t even look at that blob hanging out from under her harness!)
Yesterday’s walk #2 was with Mr. Pesky who is more committed than I am… and he’s not even in the “fat chicks” diet race.
Now you know: The Tomb of Christ is a site in Japan where they claim Jesus was really buried. This is complete with a burial site, Hebrew plaque and an accompanying origin story (complete with Jesus using a body double) explaining his journey to and death in Japan.
