Lose 20 Pounds In 10 Weeks

Friday, July 15, 2011

Hola friends!

I stayed on track yesterday and ran 3 1/2 miles. I'm slowly building up my running base to train for a half marathon in September.

Anyway...the scale rewarded my efforts with a 1.2 pound drop.

I'm hoping that I can drop one or two more pounds by Monday and at least be near where I was before I cheated and gained the weight.

And that just kills me.

Instead of looking at a possibly eight pound loss by Monday, I'm "hoping" to get back to a five pound loss by Monday.

Oh, well. No use crying over spilt milk right?

I always do this though. I screw up and then hate the results so much that I don't dare screw up again.

For awhile at least. ha!

I have plans this weekend where my resolve will be tested. I am attending an event where I have already paid for "heavy appetizers and drinks", which I can not partake in because of my diet.

Fun.

But I so want to see the scale go down.

Heavy appetizers. What can that mean other than if you eat them you will get heavier.

And alcohol we all know that that is not calorie free.

Well, I'll let you know how it all went.

Have a good one!

Sincerely,

Sunshine Mama

Love your attitude about the slight gain. And, if you can get back into running, so can I.

There is no reason to beat yourself up, we just have to move on and do better after a little gain!

Why Should You Listen to Sunshine Mama?

Besides being a diet desperado and gosh how cool does that sound, why should you listen to me?

I'm your typical stay-out-home mom with an astonishing weight loss success rate that continues to get me questions from people who want to know what I do. It's come to my attention that what I do may be less obvious than I first thought it would be. I have the same challenges as anyone else who is trying to lose weight as you will see in my articles, but I've figured out a way to succeed...every single time. I've had four babies in eight years and have had to lose about 40 pounds after each child. I've actually become somewhat of an expert at losing weight. And not just losing it, but looking G-R-E-A-T.
I have a lot to share on the weight loss strategies that I employ, so, as this goes on I will be writing articles to educate you on what I do.

Diet Desperado (As Penned By Sunshine Mama)

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out over-eatin' for so long now
Oh, it's a hard thing
To take control and stop cheatin'
And start counting cal--or--ies
If you don't know how

Don't you grab that extra helpin' now
It'll be on you later
You know that holdin' back is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine food
Has been set at your table
But you only want the food that makes you fat

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no lighter
Your pain and your stressers, are not solved with food
And control, oh control, well, that's just what you're needin'
Restriction is freedom in more ways than you know

Do you cover up in the summer time?
Do you wish it'd snow, so your rolls can hide?
It's hard to tell your waist-line from your hips
You're losing all your confidence
Ain't it funny how weight chases that away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down and start loosin' with us today
It may be tough, girl, as a diet desperado
You better let yourself love you...it's never too late.
