Operation: Bikini Bombshell

and the rest of your life to keep it up.

ok, so tomorrow (or is it tuesday…i started on 11/2) is the end of round 1 of my clean eating journey. it wasn’t as hard as i thought it would be. normally, i only last a week or so on any diet before i would cheat….and that one cheat would lead me back to my old ways of eating. it was never stuffing myself constantly….more like the opposite. i never ate breakfast (unless i was doing brunch with someone or eating with my man….and even then, i would mostly opt for coffee, maybe a croissant and conversation), lunch was a maybe…sometimes yes, sometimes a salad (though i loathe iceberg lettuce), sometimes a sandwich, but normally nothing at all. by dinner time, i was starving (of course) and too hungry to cook so i resorted to fast food on the drive home. i am pretty picky so it was almost always the same things - either fish and chips or tacos. mexican food is my my absolute fave.

working out was sporadic once i was over my goal weight. i never really used weights until i had a trainer. cardio was on either the treadmill or maybe a video tape…i can remember doing the 30 minute workouts with gilad on summer breaks when i was in high school and college (i thought i was was fit then…i was fairly small and all i wanted was a little muscle tone, not to lose any weight).
at any rate, this is not meant to reminisce on the loss of any particular food or old habits…just to say that sometimes it takes a little bit to move on (and keep moving). i am impatient and my results are a bit discouraging (snafus with me changing my diet and not including enough calories, aggravating my old injuries), but i am still determined. failure is not an option.
now, if only i could blast off excess body fat quickly….then, i would be a happy chica.
