It's been a while, eh?
I pretty much celebrated my birthday through the entire month of July. This resulted in some weight gain, some tummy aches, some body aches, and lots of great memories. Happy birthday to me :)
Party is over and life continues on for this body. After the eating frenzy, I realized that I couldn't get a grip and found myself highly motivated to do something drastic. Short term drastic...
While flipping through Prevention Magazine, I found a four day diet to debloat. Four days. I can do anything for four days. After having a look at the diet, I realized that it wasn't that far off from what I normally ate in a day. Or so I THOUGHT.
Today was my first day and this is what I learned from the experience. I have become a nibbler...a grazer...a take a bite of this and that'er. The Body For Life program had me make the switch to six small meals a day. Somehow, I transitioned that into, "eat all day long...not enough to get full...but constantly so that you never get hungry".
I was hungry today. My meals left me satisfied, not full. I just wished that there had been three or four more of them.
Other than being hungry, it was a good day and a good plan for me. 1200 calories, diet designed by a nutritionist and very short term. After the four days, they want you to transition to their Flat Belly Diet (by the way...I have that book too).
I'm thinking that this may become my Monday thru Thursday diet. It's easy and it will keep me in check.
Still doing my daily exercise before breakfast, but it is clear that exercise doesn't knock the fat off of my arse!!!
