Eat Less Diet, part 2

About half way through the Loose-A-Poolooza, I told them I quit.  Keep my $100, I don't want to do this anymore.  I'm satisfied with the 5 pounds I lost.  The organizer, Dan, was very sweet and said, "don't worry Julie, you only have to lose 1.66 pounds for the next 6 weeks.  You can do it."  No I can't nor do I want to.

I don't know what happened.  Something kicked in and I just kept trying.  I really credit my cardio tennis for helping to burn off calories.  I specifically didn't want to give up wine, after giving it up for two weekends, oh my God, am I an alcoholic?   You can save a lot of calories by not drinking wine.

When I joined the DTOX, I wanted to do it immediately.  It came in a big box (I had no idea what was in there and no idea it was $200!  Yikes).  There's an incentive to lose weight on your own.

My Pilates instructor organized a bunch of us to do it together.  I told her I wanted to start immediately and she took me down to the cafe to buy the kit.  I read the brochure back to front, front to back 16 times in the first hour.  How do you do it?  What are the approved/non-approved foods?  Sheesh, what is coconut oil & quinona?  Can't believe I'm one of these people who have these huge tubs of protein powder, God I'm not 23 years old and a body builder.  The funny thing is I had to lie to her.  Don't start til we can all start together Julie.  The first week is weaning your body off caffeine and other "non-approved" foods such as carbs and sugar.  Then if you paid $25, a nutritionists went with you to the grocery store to show you how to shop.  I didn't do it but ventured in to the gluten free/natural part of Shop & Stop which I never have.  Now I know what Almond Milk and gluten free oatmeal are.
Julie did you start?   Noooooo............................
