Today’s hmmmm…moment is brought to you by my gene pool. Mom, why didn’t you pick a baby’s dad with skinny jeans?

For the past 3 weeks I have gone back to my Hip Hop Abs with the sexiest gay man alive, Shaun T. I am determined to fight my gene pool! I will admit that I am by no means fat. I tell people all the time “I’m huge”. My favorite line to use about myself is “this fat girls gotta eat”. But as much as I know I’m not fat, I know I’m not thin either. So I have decided to do this. I’m going to get to a point where I am happy with me! I think that is what is missing from most people’s weight loss programs. Their goal is to look good for someone else or for a job. The best motivation is ourselves. A very intelligent person told me once that no one can love you until you love yourself! If you know me, you know I love me! That is why it is important that I look good for me. It is normal for people to enjoy compliments but the greatest compliment I can get is walking by a mirror and having to take a second look because I look that good! So I will continue with my exercise program because I physically feel as strong as I was in high school and college (back when I was an athlete).

One thing that I am going to do different this week is begin a strict diet. I don’t eat horribly. I don’t like salty foods. I don’t eat much red meat and I don’t really like pork. I will have a difficult time with the sweets. I love sweet tea, soda, cake, candy and anything milk chocolate! I am going to do my best with this diet and hopefully I don’t have any headache issues because I tend to run to the cherry coke when I get headaches. Don’t judge me. It helps my headaches! Anyway here’s the menu I have created for today. I wanted to share this to hopefully motivate a healthy lifestyle for you and track if this actually works for me!
Day 1
Breakfast: eggs with sliced peppers and onions, toast
Snack: pear
Lunch: turkey sandwich on wheat with fresh veggies (no dressing)
Snack: special K bar
Dinner: large mixed greens salad with veggies, boiled egg white and tuna
Dessert: fresh fruit with yogurt

Let’s see how this goes! Wish me luck!
