Dr. Ian's 4-Day Diet
**Thank you to all of my cyber friends who have left such kinds comments. I appreciate you all and look forward to reading your progress.
**Ok, just so that you know, I have another blog that I'm managing, so if I'm not here you can certainly find me there. www.locd-n-loaded.blogspot.com There you will get the uncut, the gotcha gotcha, the no she didn't....so please visit and follow me there...with an open mind of course.***it's new, so bare with me***
So today I'm embarking on Dr. Ian's 4-Day Diet. Surely I can follow along for a mere 4 days right? Well, I'm certainly gonna try....actually, no I'm going to do it! Are any of you familiar with this program? Well it's quite restrictive to start hence the "Induction" phase. I'm basically eating only fruit, and vegetables. It's a little more to it than that, but not much more. It's cool though b/c spring/summer brings about a multitude of fresh fruits and vegetables. This morning on the drive in a saw a watermelon truck and I almost wanted to follow him (even though I would have been late for work...who cares about that, right?) I wasn't really all that prepared to start today b/c as you all know this was Mother's Day weekend and my mama came in on Saturday.
Mama flaked on me and didn't get here on Friday to do our annual Susan G. Koman Race For The Cure 5k with me, so I walked with some soror/coworkers and we had a good time taking pictures and cutting up. I had to leave them just after the first mile b/c they were walking a little bit to slow for me and my heart monitor just kept ticking letting me know I had just to get my heart rate up. Although it was fun and for a great cause, it was also my exercise for the day so I had to make it count. I finished the 5k in just under an hour (53 mins).
When my Mama arrived we went to G's Mom's timeshare where she was having a fish fry. Yep, at some fish and one too many desserts. I love sweets and there was peach cobbler, cake and about 3 other desserts. I had peach cobbler and chocolate cake. I know, I should have done better but those are two of my FAVS!! Anyway, this weekend was a dietary wreck and I won't go into any more details. Let's just say, the fact that I'm not eating anything but fruit and veggies for the next couple days more than offsets the allowance I permitted myself this weekend.
Ok, moving on. Sunday, we went to dinner and then to see the movie The Soloist. If you've seen it, you know how great it is, if not, what are you waiting on? As a psychology major with a geniune interest in the why and hows of life, I was really moved by this movie. Jamie Foxx did a phenomenal job playing "Nathaniel Anthony Ayers Jr." Didn't you just love how he kept spelling his name out. Great movie! I was almost moved to tears. ....almost..LOL
I'm trying to keep this post weight related so that I won't be redundant on my other blog. Well, I guess I'm kinda short on weight news today. Maybe I'll have more after day 4 of this diet to see if its worth its press. Back to work for now.
Holla, Man-down, Code-10!!!
