So, I’m flipping through the TV channels the other day, and I run across, Dr. Oz’s show. I don't watch him often because during the day, I'm either writing or editing what I've already wrote. But when I take a break, I usually turn the TV on. He’s talking about a super body detox that will help you feel 100% better, cleanse the poisons from your body, give you better skin and make you lose a bunch of weight. It’s only takes 48 hours and Voila! A new and improve you.
He goes on to tell me that if the average person has a hamburger and fries once a week for lunch, that person will gain 15 lbs. a year. Ah! That explains part of my problem.
So what you mean to tell me, is that if I make this drink out of all of these expensive grocery items and drink only that, then I’ll lose a bunch of weight? In other words, kind of like the starvation diet that people are calling HCG. Okay, count me in.

Before I can budget for these grocery items, I get recommendations on Pintrest boards and one of them is called the Paleo Lover’s board with all of these yummy looking recipes, but I kind of don’t get it. One of the recipe’s is this Jello dish. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that the Paleo part of this board is the root of Paleolithic which is one of the new diet theories that if you eat like cavemen, and NOT processed foods, you’d naturally lose weight. Hello? Does Jello grow as a plants now? But hey, maybe there’s something to that diet as well. Count me in.
So here I sit, at 4:10 a.m. because my seasonal allergies woke me up and since I’m wide awake, waiting for my OTC allergy pills to kick in, I’m scrolling through Facebook and I run across a page that I apparently “liked” at some point and it’s called “The Best Diet Program Weight Loss Secrets”. (You should check it out. If for no other reason, the pictures are really nice to look at.)

But, talk about making you want to believe that you can be the size you once were with exercise/cardio activities that burns more calories that you take in, and eat healthier with better food choices. Hey, wait a minute. Isn’t that the standard formula for losing weight? Why, yes. Yes it is. And that’s the problem. The first of many.
Sure I have all of these ready made excuses for liking to eat what I LIKE to eat, regardless of what is a better choice, and I have the excuse that since breaking my leg and dislocating my ankle, I can’t endure much physical exercise and there’s the excuse that I’ve gain so much weight that everything now is a HUGE effort and it’s so much easier to dream about losing weight than to actually do something about it.

But that’s really all they are. Excuses. If only I can lose some weight, I’d have more energy to kick start a weight loss program. Only then will I have the incentive to keep going.
To some of you these sentences might sound familiar.
If only they made a pill that melts away the fat and gives you energy at the same time (but doesn’t kill you in the process. Phen-Phen. Nuff said) I’d buy it. Because it’s effortless.
<<==LOL! You'll need a bigger one of these for me!

So maybe what I really need to do is come combination of all the above diet plans and start there. This yoga stuff looks pretty easy on the body so maybe that's another place to start for exercise.
Regardless of what my plan is, I just have to start.
I have to Do or Die...t.
