Day 1 - We can do this!!! Mind over Matter. Let's start with the 64oz. of water we need to drink (the other B of the B team needs to drink more because of a recent kidney issue but we won't go into that). I have spent 2.5 hours of the last 8 waking hours either in, looking for or heading for a bathroom. I know I have mentioned that we are past our prime and we have both given birth more then once so all you women out there no what that means - we wet our pants. We wet them when we sneeze, cough, walk fast, laugh, do jumping jacks (oh, who am I kidding, we haven't done those since elementary school), but you get my point. Now, let's add 64 oz. to my diet - I was doing 8 oz. at best on my "let's get fat" plan. They didn't mention that Depends may be an additional expense to this diet.
Next we have the lettuce. We can do lettuce. We knew in our minds that lettuce was going to be a big part of this diet and we had mentally prepared ourselves and even convinced ourselves how good we could make it taste with all those yummy vegetables we would be able to put on top.
Now wait, you want me to eat how much lettuce??? Did you say 2 quarts - show me what that looks like. Oh, that bowl - we can do that but that is a BIG salad. TWICE A DAY Are you kidding me??? I only gagged on the last 3 fork fulls of my first 2 quarts at lunch. I can hardly wait for dinner. How the heck am I going to get the next 2 quarts down. Looks like I'm going to have the additional expense of the Bullet (and no not the kind to put in my head) to make my 4 quarts of lettuce into some kind of yummy smoothey (A woman can dream can't she).
Okay, before I read further (fortunately my bladder was empty when I started reading) I can't believe you're eating vegetables... and I must say, at least you have an excuse! I on the other hand only bore (is that the right spelling?) one child, over 30 years ago and I need to loose 40+ pounds to get back to where I was at 9 & 1/2 months pregnant... huge sigh inserted here. I too embarked on a weight loss journey a few days ago, I've lost I think a pound, yay me! But thanks for the laughs. I'm also using a great app (no, this isn't an ad) called my fitness pal, it's wonderful, does lots of stuff including scanning bar codes to enter food and keeps your water intake and measurements... Try it, you might like it! Oh, you can also enter exercise. Thanks for the giggles, I've gotta go enter that exercise(giggling is exercise, right?) and empty my bladder before I read on!
