I have a wedding to get through tomorrow and a BD dinner party on Sunday then it is "boot camp" for me. Have any of you ever heard of Marilu Henner's
"Total Health Makeover"? It is
worse than boot camp actually! The first four days you can have NO meat, dairy, sugar or alcohol. The dairy and alcohol won't be a problem but the other 2... Then after that you do food combining. It mainly goes: Fruit for Breakfast, Protein for lunch and Carbs for dinner. You combine your foods (except for fruit...can't eat anything but fruit with fruit and have to be careful how you combine them, even. Citrus with citrus and melon with melon, ect. With protein you can eat only non starchy veggies no carbs and with carbs you can eat only veggies no meat. Lots of soy, whole wheat and salads. I did this for 6 weeks once and lost nearly 20 pounds and felt wonderful. Unfortunately...it is too hard to stick forever and once I went off
I WENT OFF! This time I'm going to follow it exactly for the 30 days the book outlines and then follow it
mostly after that going of for occasional celebrations and dinners out. I can tell you right now I am not looking forward to the next 30 days!!! But I feel like this is necessary for me right now. I have felt worse this year than I ever have in my whole life and I'm so sick and tired of always being sick and tired. So...please...if you feel the need to criticize this strict regimen...
don't! I already know it is drastic but, believe it or not, it is also very
healthy!!! At this point, I need some strict structure and not have to "think" about what I'm doing...just put it on cruise and go with it. If I can't have it, I can't have it...no guesswork! I think without Jenna here every day, just 2 days a week, it will be a lot easier. Hubby has promised me a trip to Gatlinburg to see the Christmas Pagent at The Dixie Stampede in Dec. if I stick it out!!! So...wish me luck.
I think he had a good BD...he was 56 today! I got him a new Bible and we went to Red Lobster to eat then to a movie...whatever you do DON'T go see "The Others"...it was so awful!!!
I dread the wedding tomorrow so bad...it's his boss' son and he is such a spoiled brat loser!!!!!!! But...have to go! Then I have to clean the whole house and shop for the dinner Sunday...have 13 people coming here to eat. YUCK!!! Oh well...at least my house will get cleaned!
Enough (too much) for now...I'm nervous and tend to rattle on an on...I'm sorry...'nite all.
