21 days to a new me!!!
If you read LordV's journal, you will notice he has 21 days to a new me also. Let me explain.
In the desire to get a child, it was recommended strongly that we both loose weight. We looked at alot of programs and diet plans. Six week body makeover, Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and adkins, to name a few.
But the one hardest thing, was that each of them was denying us from having on thing or another. Well one morning, as I was cooking breakfast, LordV was flipping through channels and came across, "Food lovers fat loss program."
He sat through the whole informercial and I would come in, to see bits and peices. There was a lady, interviewing a handsome, well fit, African American. His name is Robert Fergeson. He made one statement, that had me sold.
"If you can't see yourself doing this for the rest of your life, its a diet."
I laughed thinking it was so true. Every diet I went on, there was no way, I could stay on. But the more I investigated his program, the more it made sense. Mainly, you are eating real food, your own favorite foods, but with some minor alterations.
Instead of white flour, you are looking for whole wheat flour. You are taught about fast carbs (sweets, bread, pasta, rice and corn) and about slow carbs (berries, melons, lettuce, cucumbers, carrots). The difference being, how fast the body makes it into sugar.
So, with this program, we are told what to do, for 21 days. Each day, we make minor changes, we eat food that we like, in the right portions and never go hungry. THe result?
We will speed up our body's metabolism and start burning off the fat.
So, when you see us post our food, you can sit there and say, but they are having brownies....they are having pringles....they are having Milk, Ice cream, cake......
Yes we are and they are all allowed on the program. In fact nothing, isn't allowed. If you have questions about it, I will be more than happy to answer your questions.
Wish Us luck, we have about 19 more days to go and I have already lost 7lbs.
