So, what I am going to do about it? I tried the low carb thing and just gained weight back again as soon as I went back to carbs. I tried paying money and going to meetings. I tried just cutting back, I tried cutting out, I tried, I tried, I tried. Now I am going to live.
My plan: to fall in love with food on a whole new level. I want to gain an appreciation for things moving past my lips and into my stomach. I want to know where they come from, what they are made of, how they were grown, and how they were harvested. I intend on eating as much local produce as possible, trying new things, and coming up with inventive new ways to tantalize my taste buds without tipping the scale.
For those of you who are already sick of reading, please rest assured, most of my other entries will not be as lengthy. In fact, you may, on occasion, simply see a number on the scale and a single word beside it: F*#K.
So, here it goes.... let's see where the evening takes us. When the darkness creeps in, generally, the munchies aren't far behind in this house. I vow that I will not eat past seven o'clock tonight, so I may have to blog all night instead. ;o)
As a final note: I will be adding a "View From Here" photo at the end of each weekly weigh in. Here is what I look like, from my own perspective.
WEIGHT:207.2 lbs
LBS TO GOAL:
47.2 lbs
FOOD EATEN:
Let's just say a lot....beginning tomorrow I will be posting every food item that passes my lips, including recipes whenever possible.
EXERCISE DONE:
Absolutely none. I have been a lazy git today. Besides a couple of jaunts up and down the flight of stairs at work today whilst running around town to get photos, I have not done a darn thing.
MOOD: Grumpy. Perhaps it's PMS.... or maybe it's the weather... yeah it must be the weather. ;o)

ReplyDeleteFew years back I used to drink 4-8 French Vanilla Caps a Day from Timmies.. Worked right next down and customers would by me drinks lol.. Anyways I switched to Hot Apple Cider... ended up losing 24lbs in one month.. And on top of that didn't change my daily intake of food.. which was normally Bagel and FV in the morning. Mc Donalds at lunch.. and what ever parents cooked for dinner that night..
ReplyDeleteAs for now.. I have lost a few pounds since I started drinking green tea from timmies on a daily basis.
But then again.. Guys do lose weight much easier then women.. eaither way good luck with everything and can't wait to see some of the recipies you try! :o)
Tiff, I love your mission and want to help since we live fairly close now. Are you opposed to jogging/running? Anyways, I have some ideas but of course also don't want to derail you from your routines. Let me know.
