Almonds and Carrot Sticks

Okay, so Charlie's kicking my butt. We decided a few weeks ago to seriously give this healthy living thing a shot. So far he's lost 12 lbs! He's actually given up caffeine for longer than 2 or 3 days . . No more than one soda a day at work. And he works for Coke! I'm at a loss for words. I'm really impressed.

I've lost 5 lbs, but I think that's partially due to the fact that I've been sick this week. Sigh. I don't seem to make it to the gym as much as I'd like to. I have been eating better, but with this gall bladder thing, I didn't think I'd ever see any results. I guess I need to kick it up a notch. . .

This is pretty cool, huh. : ) We're gonna get in shape just in time for summer! (Snort, chuckle.) Or at least get closer to our goals. . . Charlie, that stinker, happens to be genetically inclined toward athleticism. I, on the other hand, am not. Not so much, anyway. Back in the day, he used to run marathons cold turkey, soak in a hot tub, and be just fine. Me? I require a little bit of training. 6 months minimum just for my pathetic lungs. I'm prone to allergies, and it takes a lot of conditioning for me to run even a couple of miles. If I tried to run a marathon, I'd probably fall flat on my face about mile marker number 3. Tee hee hee. Sigh. Well, here we go. Almonds and carrots sticks, here I come. . . I suppose rabbit food grows on you.

But wait, 'tis cheat Friday! Ha ha ha ha ha! What's the number for Domino's? Do you think they'd take a Home Depot credit card? Woo hoo, but I'm excited! Because, you know, all of us out here in Utah . . could just live on pizza. : )

Yeah, Baby!

You can do it Amy! Make sure you come up with healthy foods that you ENJOY, that's the only way to sustain it. For example, I enjoy several fruits, I enjoy salad with a little dressing, I enjoy whole wheat bread, tuna, salmon, oatmeal....gotta have good things you're ok with eating so you don't feel like you have to go back to junkfood.
