Ugh—just as I committed myself to starting a low-carbohydrate plan, just as I finished my first batch of eggs, it happened. A stomach virus hit, and for two days I was sick as a dog. The good news is I came out of it three pounds lighter. The bad part is I’m back at square one with my healthy eating plan.
One of my best friends just started Jenny Craig. I’m happy for her. Having done Jenny Craig myself, I know the food is really tasty. But with a family to cook for, that’s just not an option for me right now. Still, I find myself wishing lately that I could be transported to “fat camp” for a month so I could focus on my weight issues without all the distractions of daily life.
But alas, that’s not an option. And since my fairy godmother isn’t going to come turn me into a svelte goddess anytime soon, I’d better get busy before the holiday season really hits and I wind up staying exactly where I’ve been for the past six years.
I did manage to get to the gym a few days ago. If only I hadn’t followed my workout with leftover Halloween candy. Darn that candy. It’s my own fault, of course. I put it in a bowl on top of the refrigerator so the kids couldn’t reach it. But I can still reach it. And that’s bad news.
Ah, such are the events of life. I’m going to pick myself back up tomorrow and maybe, just maybe I’ll get myself on track again. Besides, I cut my hair into a bob and I’d like a thinner face to go with it. And after seeing Dr. Oz on Oprah the other day, I know I need to lose the weight around my stomach. It’s scary knowing how dangerous excess belly fat it.
Time to get busy, not for the mirror, but for my health…okay, for both.
