Changing the spare #1
I thought long and hard about writing this. The debate flowed. “People don’t want to know this.” I told myself. And perhaps you don’t. But if this helps me stay focused and perhaps encourages one other person to follow through on a new years resolution (although technically this was not really one of mine) then great. So here it is.
A while ago I read this post by Los on www.ragamuffinsoul.com.
My first reaction was “205 lb (93 kg), that’s nothing. Try my 114kg (251lb).I wish I could weigh 93 kg”.
About 5 or 6 years ago Marla and I tried the Atkins diet. It worked like a charm, I think I got down to about 92Kg. Problem was I developed Psoriasis because of the high protein content of Atkins. Psoriasis = not fun and by the time I got that under control (about2 years later), the thought of going back was too much to bear.
Back to the point. I need to loose some weight. I discussed it with Marla and was convinced that my first choices (weight watchers or Weigh-less) were not doable (you will have to ask Marla why). It is also true,what with my work and family commitments, that I don’t get nearly enough time to go to the gym.
So Marla has put me on “the Marla diet” (copyright and trademark reserved) (“I lost 4 kg in 2 months” – satisfied customer). Basically that means I can only eat what she lets me. Along with this rigorous eating regime comes a daily workout with Wii boxing (if someone wants to sponsor me a Wii Fit…).
So watch this space, regular weigh-ins on Tuesday mornings.
