Diet Diary

So, i'm on this strungi (black tea) diet. I drink about 4 or more cups of strungi daily,(it's a good appetite suppressant you know).

Why am i dieting you may ask? Oh, sooo many reasons, not enough time. Well mainly because i'm vain like that.

Here's the deal, i have wedding to go to(sadly it ain't mine) :-( and since i got my invitation last month, i have been dieting like crazy to lose a couple of pounds. I heard thru the grapevine (aka my perpetually dieting galfriend) that the protein diet is good, so instead of slaving over a hot stove cooking fish, steak and chicken everynight, i went out and bought protein shake.(Look, it's the best i could come up with on short notice).

I have been gulping that shake like i in need to go into rehab (is it so delicious, i can't seem to put it down. Is this how addictions start?) I then discovered that it makes me go to the bathroom a lot! Boy oh boy, i have been in my bathroom so many times,that it got me thinking... "i need to makeover this joint!" I am a clueless kind of chick when it comes to makeover stuff. Don't get me wrong i can srew in a mean bulb, fix a leak and whatnot but when it comes to redecorating, i am as blank as a sheet of paper. So, if any one of you has the warm line to Nate Berkus...let a sista know.

So, back to my diet, i'm doing well with the strungi as well as the protein shake. I have cut down on eating a lot of junk food (coz i'm practically known in some take-away spots).
I wanted to add that extra kick to my diet and since i happen to have a deadly allergy to the gym, i have picked up walking (only during the weekends). So i prance around from block to block pretending to look busy or for a sale. I once tried to walk about in my winter boots (in my head i was going for the stair master effect) and lets just say it was not a pretty sight when i got home (um, i think the 31/2 inch heel was a little to much for the task).
Therefore, i decided to be a reasonable person and went and bought ...Oh My Goodness...flats! I know i know,even i was shocked by the purchase,but everyone needs a fair chance once in a while. And guess what? I LOVE THEM!! I mean the comfort, the ease, i may be closer to the ground than before but who cares, i got my feet smiling and all thatgood stuff. Yeeii!

I have lost some weight,phew! about 5 pounds. My heart rate is pretty good, I don't heave as much as i use to and i can easily catch my breath when i do a flight of steps. Hooray!

The wedding is still a ways off, which is good coz i get to lose a bit more, (i promise not to go for the Nichole Richie look) about 10 more pounds and promise to look my best at the event. You know i heard that there are good catches at weddings, mmhhh?!. Don't give me the screw face, yes i am doing it for brothers as well, is that sooo bad?!
