The Quest to Become Svelte


Scott recently informed me that he was going to try the Power 90 program to lose some weight. I had NO idea what this is. It is scheduled to be delivered Monday or Tuesday, but apparently it is some ass kicking workout dvds and a food plan. HE is finally determined to lose weight. I am usually the one that proposes stuff like this.

I jumped on the band wagon and in anticipation of his program coming we made a 2 week meal plan based on the South Beach Diet which we have had some success with in the past. I forgot how much work dieting is sometimes. I just have to stop being a lazy cook.

I wanted to share that I think that commercialism has created fat people based on the fact that it costs SO much more to eat a healthy diet. All the crap, preservatives, calories, and fat are exponentially cheaper than healthy alternatives.

Scott and I bought all the ingredients that we will need for the next couple of weeks, and I think then some. I decided that we will go forward with buying only 1-2 weeks at a time to avoid anything going bad.

Just a glance at what things look like at the Wegener household. I need to re-organize my cabinets, (did the frig) to make room and clean out so things are living on the counter until later today.

Incidentally, the refrigerator is like TETRIS.





I am tired of looking and feeling like Jabba the Hutt so I am excited to give this a try. I am however, quite nervous. Not about the muscle aches, or any of that, but I am nervous that I am not going to be successful and get discouraged. It is a weird fear, but just being honest!

I love that you worked "svelte" into a sentence. Good for you guys. If you stay positive about it, then it will be a whole lot better.
