My body is thinking of all the wonderful things it wants to eat... and I'm giving it bitter green tea and wheat crackers X(
It's been 8 days since D-Day (Diet Day??) and until now, I haven't quite started yet.
The running shoes remain unused (for running at least... I used it to go to work yesterday just so they'd get some use).
My Air Climber is still dusty under a bed in the spare room.
The only thing I've succeeded in doing so far is avoiding junk food during office hours (not even for an entire day... arrrggghh!!) and stopped storing junk food at home (for how long I wonder?). I haven't stepped on a weighing scale yet to see if any of these efforts actually had an effect.

The Quest: Day 0
Last June 29, I had an epiphany and decided that I am (finally!) going on a diet.
I went hungry that day.
But aside from getting hungry, I also decided that I should start an exercise regime of some sort. Since it's the current popular sport, I chose running.
I sent an instant message to my husband that I was meeting him at the mall after work that day because I wanted to buy running shoes. Supportive guy, he didn't even ask me what I wanted it for :)
I get distracted by a lot of things when I'm at the mall, however, so it took a while before we finally got to the business of getting my running shoes. And I wanted brownies for dessert during dinner (I am... weak) so I was having second thoughts about my epiphany and was starting to lose interest in running shoes. But my husband, probably liking the thought of not having to run alone anymore, was pushing me to get the task over and done with. So with 10 minutes before closing time, I picked a pair, tried it on, and paid for it.
This is what I got:
I picked one of the cheaper models of Adidas. I initially wanted to get a pricier one to force me to use it. But since at the time of purchase, I was beginning to lose my resolve, I decided not to risk future "I-told-you-so's" from my husband.

THE QUEST: It's time...
Three years, 8 months and 1 day after I got married... and 8 months 10 days after I had Andrea... I think it's time...
... to go on another diet.
YES!!! I AM GOING ON A DIET!
...
I told you, I am!!
First Nudge: May 2010, during annual physical exam.
BP = 130/80. Uh... Hmmm... ok... my usual blood pressure is only 90/70 so 130/80 is high for me. I took my blood pressure a few weeks ago and it's still 130/80.
2nd Nudge: 2 weeks ago... mom gave me a size 3? (let's keep some things secret, shall we?) pair of jeans. It fit me!! Waaaaahhh!! *faints*
3rd Nudge: Last night, stepping on the weighing scale. Arrrrggghh!! I weigh the same as I did last December. I am not losing weight!!! (Not that I'm doing anything to lose it... but I was hoping...)
*sigh*
It's been a while since I went on a diet (or exercised regularly for that matter). I can pinpoint the exact date actually... the day after I got married. I figured that since I am married, I might get pregnant anytime and will get fat anyway so I deserve a diet holiday. That diet holiday lasted 3 years. And now it's time for retribution.
