Post holidays.
Total gain:
10 friggin’ pounds.
I tried Somersizing. It seems it may work best on those who have 50+ lbs to lose.
What works for me?
No alcohol. Period.
Not even to watch “The Bachelor” on Monday nights.
Starvation & weight lifting 2x a week (I do eat more on lifting days).
Breakfast: coffee that I have roasted myself 🙂
Late Lunch (3-5 pm): Big salad with meat and some cheese.
Dinner: sfh whey isolate protein shake, 10 almonds and 3 pats butter with salt.
7 lbs to go
You get used to it, really.
In my 20s, I thought that by the time I got to near 50 (so old! Lol), I could just eat cookie dough and let it all go.
But no.
50 is the new 30 and I’ll be damned if I look like 50 from the 1940s (no hair colour, no lasix, no fillers)….
Vain?
No, that’s Cinderella’s evil stepmom- not wanting good for anyone else.
I think of it as “invested in me and my marriage”. I want to seem cute to that older woman in the mirror and to Mr. W.
When I feel cute, I’m a happier, nicer version of me. If I have cursed at you in Houston traffic in a cockney accent, I apologise, unless you did something wrong ” Oi! Mate! Bollocks!”. I’m still working on that…
I will fight looking older than I feel and tell you my secrets as I go.
