Waist So Skinny - Mondays

Well, this whole diet thing has been a bust.  I had resigned to give up but then NewB started using words like "cruise" and "Bahamas", which conjured up images of "bikinis" and "cocktail dresses".  So, it's back on, peeps!

Weekly updates to follow...

Waist So Skinny - Mondays

Drop 10 Lbs and Do It Now Campaign of 2011: Week One Results

I am somewhat pleased to report the following weight-loss results for the week of April 4-April 11, despite having spent two days at my grandfather’s (aka “The Land that Time Forgot”), where the healthiest food in town comes from the Wendy’s drive through.  In other words, diet successfully blown in 48 hours. Regardless:

Weight: -2.8 Lbs

Times I Exercised: None.  (Shut up – baby steps, you know)

I impulse bought the Ab-Circle Pro last week after getting sucked in by the mini-infomercial:

Since it’s small enough to fold up and slide under the couch, I thought I might be motivated to use it while I watch TV.  But, then again, that was the theory behind my elliptical, too, and we all see how well that worked out.  Basically though, I’m a sucker for As Seen on TV exercise products, and the reviews on ACP were surprisingly decent.  However, there are several reports of this little machine being a little bit difficult for those who are coordinationally challenged, including horror stories of sliding off of the knee pads and wiping out at regular intervals.  As we all know (see “Drop it Like it’s Hot” for a typical day in my life), I am the world’s biggest klutz.  So, if nothing else, the Ab-Circle Pro will provide a flurry of business for the local ER and hours of entertainment for any circumstantial bystanders.  Too bad for you guys I’m not too handy with a video camera, or I would post my efforts.  (Well, probably not.  I’m all for self-humiliation, but that may be taking things a bit too far…)

So, anywho, hopefully my report will be better next Monday.  Keep your fingers crossed that I can stick with it this week.

 

Waist So Skinny - Mondays

Well kiddos, yours truly has, in this first quarter of 2011, redefined the art of stress eating.  Unfortunately, in so doing, I have also redefined my waistline, and not in a good way.  


Let me put it this way - I still weigh 10 lbs more than my sister and she is a centimeter dilated and 50% effaced. 


As such, it's back on Weight Watchers I go, but this time, I fully intend to stick with it.  I've done it before (and lost 25 lbs!), but I've stopped exhibiting any signs of self-control, and I am inching back up to the VERY bad place (I crossed into the "just bad" place about a month ago). 


So, how will I ensure weight-loss success?  My dear, fair readers, that's where you come in.  Monday is my weigh-in day (as it has been every time I've dieted), so every Monday I have to report my success (or failure) to you guys.  That way, if I fail, I will fail publicly.  And everyone knows that public humiliation is the best motivator!  

Look forward to next week's post when, hopefully, I will have good news for you! (3 lbs, 3lbs, 3lbs...) And maybe I'll even have some funny anecdotes along the way...    

Wish me luck!  (Goal is to lose 10 lbs and start exercising 2-3 times/week)
