Hey There Everybody...
And a special hello to AKA Patty 1day@atime The more the merrier...
Kim2 said it all...we are all searching for that something to help us...and I have a library of diet books, self help books and cook books...you also have 4 months of trying to eat healthy and make some real changes in your life before you start the diet...that is really good because you are already in the mind set and getting ready......Well you came to the right place for support and suggestions...and even a funny story that will make you laugh! a lot!
Kim2 OH NO!
hope all is better by now...fibre our friend and foe...In Canada we can't get hardly any of the Bob Greene endorsed stuff...I noticed a lot of different things when we went shopping in Detroit...So I am eager to go to my Uncle's in New York/New Jersey this summer as I am going to shop (A LOT)...
Do you want to hear a funny story...well it is one of my typical funny and weird stories...
This will be your roll on the ground hollowing with fits for laughter...Here is the LAUGH of the DAY!
I woke up on Thursday morning and I had to weigh in...I got up went to the bathroom and I looked like Benicio Del Toro and Arte Johnson (when he played Renfield in Love at First Bite '79) and Quasimodo...I am sure you all have the visual...
I must have consumed about 3-4 litres of H2o on both Tuesday and Wednesday because it was so hot and I was working on cleaning the house and the gardens and I must have retained every darned bit...or at least my eyes (face), toes (feet) and fingers (hands)...
I needed to rectify this quickly as I have meetings all morning at work with lawyers to go over my trial preparation as I have to testify in court on the 21st...So to rectify this what do I do...I put a very cold cloth on my face and then cover my face with Preparation H (apparently this is a model trick and works for my 23yo daughter Elisabeth all the time...Now mind you she is 5'5" and 115lbs and blonde, beautiful and brainy)...I eat my breakfast and dutifully wait and I still look like I was attacked by African Killer Bees and on top of this I look all greasy... In fact I ended up with the cream in my hair and I had to rewash my hair because it looked like I had a product explosion...
Weigh in UGG! So needless to say I did not lose anything but I gained 2 lbs...Now I figured after the weekend in Detroit and then all the water...but really this is ridiculous...
And it is so hot here that I walk very late at night...Since I am perimenapausal I am up later at night so I walk my 2 km when it is cool and dark...
And I continue to gripe but I am journalling so I know my mistakes from the weekend but this is craziness...I really needed the water (or so I thought)!
Any suggestions...now yesterday I ate only salads (but with nuts, seeds, dried fruits, fruits, cheese, grilled turkey), fresh fruits, and toast for breakfast...I don't have any appetite except for juicy watery stuff...any ideas?
