Hello, readers! First of all, I wanted to give a shout out to my friend, Dalys. She's started her own weight loss blog. Check it out! http://dalyoliva.blogspot.com/ You'll do great on your 5k, chica!! I might become a zealot and recommend that everyone sign up for a race to motivate themselves. ;) I really feel like if I can do it, anyone can! You'll surprise yourself. :)
Also - If I have any other lurkers out there, PLEASE feel free to leave comments & pass my blog along! I eat it up! I love getting feedback from you all. Comments = Happy Liz = More blog posts. :)
Okay, here's the dealio. I've been doing good exercising.. and I've been doing OKAY with my food. Like, I haven't been pigging out or anything or eating horribly. But I've just been snacking too much, I think. This has led to me pretty much maintaining my weight. I need to get more strict with my diet. I think I'm going to start next week with a new meal plan!
The first week is sort of a detox BUT this is not some unhealthy, fad diet. It mainly just cuts out processed foods and you stick to protein & fresh fruit/veggies. You eat a few small meals a day and it's PLENTY of food, which I like. The only thing I might have an issue with is the no caffeine thing for the first week. Eeeek! Caffeine is my friend! Me and Diet Coke are like this (::fingers crossed::). But I have been advised that if you have a serious caffeine addiction you can try to wean yourself slowly off the stuff instead of going cold turkey. I apologize in advance for possibly becoming a snarling beast next week. I watch "Intervention", okay. I know what a crackhead without their crack looks/acts like.
I am going to weigh in tomorrow, as usual. EEK! I promise to post the results whether it's good, bad, or ugly.... I am also DYING to see my individual race pics! They say they will be posted by tomorrow! I hope it looks decent! If it's not too horrible, I might post it. No promises!

It does boil down to diet (I don't like that word) ... NUTRITION when you're exercising reguarly as you are. Keep up the great work! I'm going to check into other local 5k's around ... more of those maybe, with a 10k thrown in here & there. =) WAHOO!
You are doing great Liz!! I can handle adjusting my diet...but I am not sure I can give up my Diet Coke either!!!
Oh and there are TONS of local 5K's. Go to Active.com. There are always some listed there. I am thinking about signing up for one later this month. :)
Ahh, I should have known you'd be up to date on the local 5K's, Renee. ;) I will definitely do the Dolphin Run, but I'd like to do something before then!!
I forgot to include my funny Rachel story in my blog! Tomorrow!! :)
Mag - re: diet. Like in Europe, diet literally just means like your daily diet/nutrition. That's why there's no such thing as "Diet Coke" there.. The bottle says "Coke Light" b/c Diet Coke wouldn't make sense to them! I kinda like it!
Wow, sounds like running is inspirational! Question? A couple of days ago, I had to re-sign in to view your blog? Has something changed? Is it by invitation only? Thanks.
Well.. I made it private for various reasons.. For about an hour. Ha. I wish I could make it private but I don't want to alienate the lurkers and friends of friends who are reading. So I made it public again. You're not going crazy.
I always say there is nothing like a good detox..I have directions for a gallbladder detox..The gallbladder breaks down all the fat we eat and helps the body to process it..(gallstones actually big ole fat balls..)Let me know if you want to try it..Getting the body cleaned up helps you function better therefore loose weight faster.
Regarding the diet coke-If Ruby can give it up so can you!:)
You can do it liz, I have been a Coke addict for forever. It would make my day just to see the LOGO or smell the fizz.. (weird I know) but hey I can proudly say that I am Coke Free and have been for a month and a half. Its not so bad after you get pass the Headaches.
See.. Not only do I love the taste of Diet Coke.. But I get bad headaches, so it helps. UGH. I am not looking forward to that part! :( But I will try!!
