Mmm...Tasty! TOV's WISH Journal (Comments welcome)

For the last month, I've been exercising daily and trying to manage the amount of calories per day I would take in.

Starting tomorrow, I'm starting a whole new diet: Slimfast
I have a cannister of powder to mix into my milk, which I'm going to do twice daily instead of meals with sensible snacks in between and a sensible dinner.

I've noticed that one pair of shorts that once fit snugly (not tight, but snug) are now so big I can put them on, zip them up and then pull them off again without bothering to unzip them. I'm getting there with my favorite pair of jeans, so I must be doing SOMETHING right.

I finally decided I had to get into better shape and lose weight after we went to Six Flags in August. I love rollercoasters and climbing several flights of stairs to reach the top on most of them had me extremely winded. I also rode the Texas Giant a couple of times and my butt was nearly too big to fit into the seat. So I knew I had to lose weight or risk not being able to ride my favorite rollercoaster the next time I go to Six Flags.

I also decided to do it for DS, because at age 2 1/2 he's extremely active and I have to be able to keep up with him.

Next week is going to be extremely difficult for me. On Weds, we're leaving for a conference in Austin and I'll be tempted with all kinds of stuff I probably shouldn't have--bacon, grits, donuts, lotsa fast food. I don't know how I'm going to keep to my diet and not eat too many unhealthy foods.

However, there is going to be a free massage therapist available so maybe I can just massage my bad feelings away.

Last week was really difficult and I know I strayed too much from my diet. It also doesn't help that when it comes to candy, I am really weak and we have a ton of it sitting around. I'm going to do my best to get rid of it tomorrow night so I'm not tempted by it.
