week 2

For 2 weeks I have been sweatin', dyin' and starvin'...all for 2 friggin LBS?? So, I say to myself (looking at my reflection in the mirror trying manipulate myself into believing I'm not crazy for talking to my reflection.. besides I should only be concerned if/when I start answering myself, right?)...Jeanna, Jeanna...you're getting older, you're a mom of two, your hips are wider, your metabolism has slowed or nearly stopped and you're never, ever, EVER going to look like you did in your 20's or for that matter, like the cute receptionist that was just hired! ... With that I reply... What the F**k, this gettin older shit is for the birds! (oops, I answered myself) ...So now that my mini episode of schizophrenia is over... I can say my diet is going well.

I decided along with the new year, I would try a new form of exercise and started taking water aerobics. Whoever said that this was nothing more than splashing around in a pool with a bunch of geriatrics, should try one hour of it. Its amazing!! Its the best low impact, best burn of the hips/thighs, butt and abs I have ever had. I am addicted. If you've never tried it, I highly recommend taking a class... you too will be amazed. God, I sound like a infomercial... I definitely need to eat more chocolate.. I mean carrots.. :)

I also started getting up early , 5 am early, to workout.. this is definitely work in progress..since I've only managed to do this maybe 5/6 times since the 1st of the year... but its hard.. thats time I could be resting away the fine lines that have decided to appear around my eyes... Did I say getting older was for the birds??? At any rate..(oppressing a potential meltdown), my goal is to get up and exercise at least 2 days a week, and then go to the gym 2 days a week. Sounds good if thats what I'm doing.... I said it was a goal! In all seriousness... I'm actually working out at least 4 days a week, sometime more.

So what about my diet you ask.. well I am following the South Beach diet. It's easy..but takes a lot of preparation, especially when you plan to be out all afternoon. I can't wait to eat chocolate... OMG!!!! I just figured it out.. I'm PMS'ing... No wonder my husband is avoiding me like the plague..He actually prayed at dinner last night that I become anorexic so that I would shut up about losing weight.. I concurred his request.. :)
