I am okay just exercising a little portion control and moving about a bit more. (Thanks for the blog encouragement!)<br /><br />Hey!

I just have someone else do it. I buy it, already prepared in the deli section of my local market.<br /><br />On New Years eve 1989, I weighed 208 pounds (I have no idea what that is in stones), & a year later- New Years Eve 1990, I weighed 155. I changed nothing about my diet. I excercised. 2 hours a day-6 days a week. I took 10 aerobic classes a week, plus boxing & weight lifting.<br /><br />My current physician is giving me until the end of 2010 to loose 35 pounds. My plan: much less whiskey & pizza & back to the gym in a major way. What I would like to do is eat fritters & watch aerobics on the television... followed by some champagne. Oh, well.<br /><br />I never know what I am going to post when I awaken each morning. I have a person challange to do a post a day & sometimes I am just blank.<br />I love you blog & your writing...so hang in their little tomato. Your fans await.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05967985806955115917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128583729281346797.post-87581568252283154592010-05-15T10:07:14.934+01:002010-05-15T10:07:14.934+01:00That's good news about beets!

The one time I cut carbs, I had been eating fairly generous portions of protein all day and feeling increasingly faint and ill and eventually found myself waiting for the bus tearing open a packet of Quorn sausages with my teeth and eating them raw. So that didn't work.<br /><br />I lost 45 lbs about 12 years ago following an informal version of Weight Watchers (points system, no meetings) and have kept most of it off, but it could not withstand the baking orgy my life has become.puncturedbicyclehttp://www.outrightingrate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128583729281346797.post-29344086565161472252010-05-15T01:34:28.079+01:002010-05-15T01:34:28.079+01:00sweet lord, quinoa - who the hell toasts it? or wa...sweet lord, quinoa - who the hell toasts it? or washes it? i just boil it. i'm all about simplicity when it comes to my oddly spelled ancient grains.<br /><br />and yes, i too write many brilliant blog posts...in my head...at 11:52 pm just as i am about to zork out. they are usually so bloody brilliant that i feel there's no way i'll forget them. in the morning? total blankness punctuated by the desperate blinking of the cursor.<br /><br />i am polish, i have been known to consume disturbingly huge quantities of beets and the only side effect is...well...the colour of the waste product.<br /><br />as for hunger-less weight loss i highly recommend south beach diet which is the only thing i have ever been able to lose weight on and keep it off. alas, no quinoa. or beets.the polish chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929281676865641560noreply@blogger.com
