New Diet

I know this blog is about our family (the Musical Soodsmas), but I'm gonna change the topic for just a few short weeks. I figure I can use the blog to track my progress, and vent at the same time. I started a new diet. Ok, so I've tried a zillion different things and so far I have lost 43 pounds...and I have like 20 more to go. So I'm gonna try to get this done once and for all.

The diet starts as a 10-day cleanse. I'm limited on what I should and shouldn't have. I'm supposed to stay away from fried foods, corn or white starches, bread, crackers, any wheat products, dairy (cheese, yogurt, milk, etc), alcohol (not a big sacrifice there), and coffee and soda. I'm supposed to eat lots of veggies, fruit, and lean meats (for protien). Oh, I can have what they call clean carbs which is rice, hummus, or oatmeal.

I take a ton of pills, some special fiber drinks, energy drinks, and a meal replacement shake for breakfast everyday. I know it sounds like a lot, but I'm very dedicated to getting this weight off.

All of this is natural stuff, full of fiber, and lots of vitamins and stuff. Oh, and by the end of all of this I should have floated away from my water intake...lol.

Anyway, after the cleanse I start the weight loss program which starts out as a 2 week program (I can continue with weight loss maintenence if needed). I keep doing the energy drink, the meal replacement shake and tons of pills (vitamins and stuff).

Since I'll be giving up bread, sugars, dairy, crackers, and stuff that I really enjoy (at least for now), I know I'll need a place to vent. So that's what you will be here for. My plan is that when I have a food craving I will come down to my lovely friendly computer and spill all my frustrations about not eating my food. Wow, it sounds so dramatic when I say it like that.

I'm also going to go out on a limb and share my progress. Do you mind if I get a little personal? I guess I'm not like a normal woman, because I am about to share deep dark womanly secrets....yes...my weight. AAAHHHHH!!!! It's not that bad. It's just numbers. So here goes:

Start weight: 165 lbs
Inches lost: 0 in.

Happy 24 days!
