The Fat Smash Diet

I've been inspired by The Pink Elephant to try out the Fat Smash Diet. I checked out the book from the library on Tuesday and I'm on Day 2 of the diet. It's not something I would normally try. Pretty much because it has the words diet and detox in it. I think that those are both buzz words that are over used. What I was drawn to was the no counting aspect of it. I've been counting and counting for 6 months! It says to let your hunger guide you, and I really like that. It also focuses on exercise a lot too, which I also like.

Phase 1 of the diet (Detox) is pretty restrictive and lasts 9 days. I've done really well the last two days and hope I can continue the momentum.

I tried to run yesterday with Kim. We ended up walking mostly. My chest is just too congested right now. At least we were out the walking and having great conversation!

The Big Ditch Run

OMG, I'm glad this week is over (almost! I still have to work 3 hours tomorrow.) It had been a strange week!

Stephanie and I were going to go swimming tonight, but Paul wanted to enjoy the nice evening. He flies RC airplanes and he wanted to go tonight. So I canceled with Stephanie and went with him. Elliott and I took a long walk on this trail that was called "The Big Ditch Run". I carried her on my shoulders for most of the walk, which had me sweating! I can't believe I used to carry around almost 2 of her all day ever day in extra body fat!

Tomorrow is a S2F run in morning. Then I work for 3 hours. Then tomorrow night Stephanie and I are going to the drive-in movie to see the Hunger Games with two other girls we work with, Kara and Bekki. I'm really excited to see it!

Here is a funny picture of Elliott on the way home today! She is so silly!

That's all for now!
