Moment of Truth

I am quickly approaching the end of my time at Total Health and Fitness, and I wanted to share my knowledge of health and exercise practices as I know it now. Here, for your benefit, is the vast array of knowledge that I have accumulated over the past 3 months.

EAT MOR CHICKIN

Yes, chick-fil-a has discovered the secret to lean and healthy eating through their marketing campaign. Just skip the bun, and the breaded crust, and the mayo and the oil and anything else they put on it to make it taste at all appealing, and you got it. Chicken. Lots of it.

Actually, that would never be a part of a good balanced diet. Of course you have to put some variety into what you eat. So here is a list of everything that is allowed to pass my lips. (take care, this list is quite lengthy.
  1. Chicken
  2. Green beans or Broccoli
  3. Yams or brown rice
  4. tuna fish
  5. wheat crackers
  6. eggs
  7. oatmeal
Phew! Did you make it through that list! Look at the variety! And did I mention that salt and pepper are the only supplements that are allowed? I have been eating this for 4 weeks, and last night, I started dreaming about brownies! Only three more days to go. And then you will hear the results of this protein diet, and maybe think it is worth it. I am going to be "svelte hot" as Lauren would say!

I will have to talk to you about the exercise, but that regimen, I am afraid, has just begun in earnest. I am training for the Spudman Triathlon. So you will hear more about my poor blistered feet and sore muscles later.

Just a quick update. I found out today that I am not quite capable of jump starting my metabolism. See, when I was younger, I had some trouble with a cyst in my neck, and in the course of getting it fixed, I had half of my thyroid removed. So...I have a very, very slow metabolism. It takes me 9 weeks to do what most people can do in 3. Sad! The hardest part for a while was the pounding I was getting from my trainer. He thought I was such a cheater! And I was trying so hard...Oh well, I guess life is not fair. I am back to square one. But now that I know what is going on, maybe I can make some headway on this. Wish me luck!
