Day One of My Blog Regarding Week 7 of My Committment

This blog is all about my committment regarding my decision to change my life in 90 days or less.  I have lost 10 lbs and I can tell I've gained muscle in the last 7 weeks.  I call my blog It's all about the Food.  Of all the diets, exercise, meditating and praying I have done regarding my fluctuating waistline over the last 20 years of my life, it's the food that gets me every time.  There is no denying it.  If I could sew my mouth shut I would never have to diet but then I would faint and die and that doesn't seem like a good option.  So here I am again. I have been working out for 3 years, continuously for the last 2 years with a 9 month break in between because of a neck injury.  I have learned how to eat finally after all these years.  My secret: eat less, move more.  I think I heard that somewhere.  Yep, I know I did.  I think it was in third grade health class.  No matter when I heard it first.  It was true then and it's true now.  There is no secret to looking like Kate Moss or Holly Hunter.  Okay well maybe there is a secret to looking like Holly Hunter have you seen her abs.  My, my, my I want those abs.  So I've put aside all my labels, all my fat clothes have been sent away.  Everything I own either fits or is a bit snug and I have one pair of jeans that are a size 9 from about 1988.  Now I have to say I can now after 7 weeks fit into my size 8 gap cargo pants but they are way bigger then those 9 jeans from the 80's.  There is all the proof I need that the capitalists are against me.  In order to make money clothes designers started making all there sizes bigger over the years. This mean's those size 9 jeans are probably about a size 4 now.  So what would I have done if I had stayed a size 3 all these years.  I would probably have no clothes to wear.  Well I feel better, NOT!!! In case you were wondering I've also seen SUPERSIZE ME.  It is a total must for anyone wanting to battle the bulge.  Now that said, what did I eat today you may ask.  I ate whatever I wanted.  I wanted to eat like I always planned to eat when I became lean and strong.  Well now I eat that way anyway.  I had an organic bran blueberry muffin with coffee/almond milk/truvia for breakfast, snack Peanut Butter and an apple, Lunch: Turkey and Swiss on whole grain thin bread mustard no mayo, Snack: Luna Bar Caramel Nut..YUMMMy!! Dinner: Turkey with BBQ Sauce lettuce and tomato on the side and a small bag of popped chips.  Lots of water.  I mean lots especially with ice.  I love ice!!!
