The time is finally right to face that fact that I need to lose 40 lbs or risk ruining my knees and not being able to dance. I weighed in this morning at 173! Here we are at the December dance at CARD in Chico. I don't want to look like this anymore! More that I have ever weighed. My dental hygenist told me about her diet that uses Mediral ( naturally secreted hormone by the hypothalmus that regulates your metabolism) I bought some online. You take 10-12 drops, 3X per day and go on a 500 calorie diet of protein and veggies...the hard part for me is not eating breakfast. You can't have any starch and very little carbohydrates, no sugar, no dairy (I'm allowed 1T of non-fat dairy creamer in my coffee, so that means only one cup of coffee a day! No iced coffees that I so love for a quick pick me up mid-day since I can't go without cream in them. I can use Stevia as my only sweetener since it is also a natural substance. So my tum is growling as I write this but my hygenist assures me that she lost 33lbs in 21 days on the diet. You have to go off the Mediral after 21 days but keep on the maintanence diet (1500 calories a day) for 3-weeks and then you can do another 21 day stint. So who knows how much I'll lose...I know I'll lose weight...who wouldn't on 500 calories a day...but the point is to reset my metabolism so that everything I eat doesn't turn into fat! I look forward to better-looking dance photos!
In order to ignore the hunger pangs, I am keeping busy inside and outside doing chores. I figure I have about 15 more hours just in cleaning up the front yaard...I've spent 5 hours so far and it's still a weed-infested mess! I could just kill that Mark...better yet, spray him with Roundup like he did my yard! What he did was kill all my native plants that crowded out the weeds, so this spring the weeds took over!
We're gaining on it inside and have most of the ugly chores done, including all the wood floors. I have lots of paint touchup to do on the walls where cardboard boxes sat and streaked the paint. No kidding, the chemicals in cardboard can discolor carpet (it did) and walls. Of course the woodwork is a greasy mess also...he never cleaned his hands I guess, so I'm tackling that one door at a time! I'll have to paint some of them also.
Mr. A has spent 3-days in the shop boxing up Mark's crap and taking it over to him...today will be no exception. We're planning the orgy of power-washing the shop floor Saturday or Sunday as the weather permits (supposed to be nice and in the 70's this weekend.) I'll be power-washing his heavy industrial rubber floor mats which are now covered in grease and crap! Should be exciting.
I'll put up photos soon.
