My husband wants a contest.  He is good looking as it is, but he wants a reason to lose body fat.  So, I’m starting at 22% body fat, he’s starting at 15.5%.  By the end of May, whomever loses the most body fat wins.  If I win, he has to build me a book shelf.  If he wins…. I can’t say.  But I’m sure you can guess.

So, week 1: Here is my weight loss menu.  The dinners are the same as the menu for my family.. but the rest isn’t.

So, here goes:  If it all turns out, THEN I’ll post my before and after pics.. otherwise, I don’t really need the world to see my “before” backside!

Sorry if you subscribe.  I may just be posting to this blog more than I thought.  But I had a new goal/ idea:

Inspired, but not totally the same, by Julie and Julia, and Jana- I am going to attend every single exercise class my gym offers!  I’ll work out the details when I think about it more thoroughly. BUT, I am a boring exerciser.  If it weren’t for Eliece, I would be running every day.  I just love to run.  But Eliece makes me lift weights, and we are going to train for a triathlon.

So, for the next two months.. I’m going to hit every exercise class Gold’s offers, including Water Aerobics!!!

I’m afraid 10 hours was WAY to long to sleep.  I slept from 9:30-8:15.  My children are awake downstairs, and I haven’t even gotten out of bed yet.  That’s going to change!  Here are my 2010 goals!

• sleep 8 hours or less!
• Eat 5 or more fruits and vegetables per day
• eat meals! Stop snacking
• Lose 10 lbs.
• Study the Old Testament with the Sunday School Curriculum this year
• Attend temple twice a month.
• Get good grades
• Spend $125 on groceries per week.
• Participate in a triathlon
• Another half/ possibly full marathon.

Have you seen Julie and Julia?  I just watched it the other day.  Fun movie for a food blogger.  Anyway- Healthier version:

JANA IS DOING IT, DR. FUHRMAN STYLE!  She is making everything in his cookbook over the next month. She’s on the second week, and has already lost 6 lbs.  That is awesome!! I can’t wait to read her entire month.

If anyone reading this knows me, you’ll know why I want to move to the Hottentots of Africa.  My Psyc 365 book states:

“Among the Hottentots of Africa, the condition known as steatopygia-enlargement of the buttocks- is considered a mark of great beauty, and the bigger the bottom the better!”

Finally, a place I can be appreciated!

Anyway- yesterday was horrible. I’m trying to get through this psyc class (Independent Study), and I thought it would be EASY! Not So!  I’ve submitted 4 assignments… and not doing so well on them.  I think I’ know the answers, and then they are wrong.  As a result of studying all day, and getting more and more frustrated, I ate,… and ate… and ate.  Funny thing was, the chapters were about eating, drinking, and aggression (It’s motivational psyc).  So I stopped tweeting my food, and instead, ate too much, gained another half pound. This is where it stops.  I was 125 this morning, and I really feel uncomfortable in my clothes when I’m above 125.  I always think the solution is to fast all day, to make up for it… but that only lasts me until about 8am.
