The Waistline

Okay... talk about longtime no see. When is the last time America (in general) saw their waistline. I (in great company I might add), like millions of Americans have fallen victim to a horrible disease. No not obesity. Nope not diabetes. Laziness. I could sit here and give you every excuse (oops, I mean reason) as to why I am fat but the bottom line is that all those reasons probably stem from well, being overweight.

In mind and spirit, I am not lazy. I am well educated and well travelled. Yet, I have a serious problem getting out of the bed when Top Chef is on. Why is it that I can sit and watch Celebrity Fit Club Bootcamp but can't seem to crack open those new Billy Blanks Taebo Bootcamp DVDs I just bought. Each time the show comes on I commit to doing at least sit ups during each commercial break. Then one by one the commercial come on and go off and each time I bargain with myself about committing to the next break. Then the breaks during the next show and so on. I work 10 to 15 hour day during busy season and yet in still I can find the time commit to these exercises yet no time to do them.

I admit when I had a trainner, I was more committed to working out. Spending money will do that to you.

Well America- I like thousands of others have decided to do a juice fast to jump start my weight loss. After doing some serious research I believe it is a healthy way to (1) rid my body of toxins (2) restart my metabolism and (3) lose fat. I am optimistic but I know it is not going to be easy. I have already built in a cheat system. If the fast becomes to unbearable, I am allowed to have an all natural juice bar or a piece of fruit if I commit chewing the fruit very finely. The whole idea here is give you organs and digestive tract a break so that they can focus on detoxing after all.

Don't know how long I can keep up the fast but I am going to try for one day, then one week, then 2 weeks and then 30 days. Realistically, I have committed to 2 weeks. We shall see who that goes. To ensure that I won't cheat, I have enlisted the help of a friend and of course I have all of you to be accountable to, since I had the bright idea to announce it.

I can't tell you how much I weight because that is just embarrassing. Don't get me wrong, I look good, as most 80s babies do, but I can stand to lose about 40 pounds.

Hey if JT can bring Sexy Back, I can definitely bring back the waistline.
