My two Fs/Effs

As you all know, I've been working Fast and Furiously to look Fabulous in 6 months. Not just slightly more Fabulous than my current gorgeousness :-) but DRASTICALLY, NOTICEABLY healthier, in better shape and (most importantly) looking as happy on the outside as I feel on the inside. Its an awesome dream and I'm super psyched to see it come to fruition.
So, I've been teetering with this concept for like 6 months (really, for 23 years if you consider the start of the downward spiral once I hit puberty...good times), but 3 weeks ago I just got really Focused. I'm already a pescatarian (a weak vegetarian that still eats some seafood), and I eat really well 80% of the time. The 20% KILLS me, and I get little to no hard exercise a day. So, 3 weeks ago, I got Focused. I use weight watchers for tracking my intake (though I don’t eat any of the packaged food- loading my body with sodium, high fructose corn syrup, processed food make to look like chicken, but its really made of corn- as is the box- is completely counter-intuitive to being healthier), I have an exercise and activity plan and I've set some pretty serious Fabulosity goals.

Honestly, I want to look like Amy from season 3 of the Biggest Loser... I've been watching her for years and for some reason, I think she ROCKS.



Amy from The Biggest Loser Season 3: Fabulous!
Week 1: I rocked it... Ate really well, reasonable quantities, 95% organic, 95% home cooked. AND... Weekly Goal MORE THAN Realized! Fabulous!

Week 2: Decided that you have to really kick it up in Week 2 (per the Biggest Loser :-) So this is where I added in the exercise goals ... Again, I rocked it... Walked 3 miles a day for 5 days. Ate really well, reasonable quantities, 95% organic, 95% home cooked. AND... Weekly Goal not QUITE realized, but so super close... Still excited! Fabulous!!

Week 3: Week 3 was really tough. If you recall, I was on a 5 day Business Trip with a TON of pressure! Then, the day after I got back. a friend was in town for the weekend. Overall,. I was actually proud of how cautious I was with my food choices, but in the end, it wasn't good enough. I realized I wasn't really as prepared as I thought I was to be away from the safety of my kitchen. Everything cooked in restaurants is loaded with extra garbage. Frustrating. Add to the top of that... I didn’t exercise one time. Yikes! Results? I lost not one pound. EFF!!!!!!!! But, I still take it as a pseudo victory, as I could have gone shit nuts and gained weight. So, I have some making up to do over the next few weeks.

My solution in Week 4, is to ramp up the activity levels! It’s the perfect week to do it, because I’m home ALL week. So, I’m walking a ton AND… finally bit the bullet and joined the Bikram studio. My first class was yesterday, and I had to walk out twice because I nearly puked. Tonight, I made it through… FAB!!! So, at the end of this week, I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope I have a Fabulous victory story for all of you….
(then I need to stress about next week… I’ll be on a biz trip in Miami for 4 days!) EFF!!!!
