Time For A Resolution....Again

Well well well....haven't written anything since Oct. 2009.....would love to say that you wouldn't recogize me, but that's not the case! Have I ever mentioned how excellent I am at maintaining??
I am. I am still overweight, by roughly the same amount of weight...despite the 15 months that have passed. Wheweee - how's that for consistency!!
BUT
I have had my aha moment...my moment of truth.....my husband and I have embarked on a new plan....for the first time, together. He desperately needs to lose weight for his health. As for me, same thing but not quite so desperate.
So...
I happened to be in a bookstore waiting for my sister's delayed flight to arrive from Vancouver (at Montreal's airport) when I saw a book that immediately fascinated me: The 4 Hour Body. sounds like a gimmick, right? Well, turns out it's all kinds of weight gain, weight loss, plus performance outcomes tips based on one basic premise: in my words....what minimal action will give the maximum result? Call me geeky...but this stuff is fascinating. Tim Ferriss, the author, is a pretty crazy guy who subjects himself to all kinds of experiments and tests to try out many theories....and gets astounding results.
So what?
Well....I'm all for a quick start! I'm extremely IMPATIENT and ANXIOUS to get results, and once I see them, I know my motivation will not flounder. Plus, doing this with hubby should be interesting....'cause we can definitely make a competition out of this....not that I'm competitive or anything....HA!
Phase one is to change our eating habits for 6 days....but we get to eat lots so we'll be ok....plus one day a week is a day off....or deferred eating day where we get to eat whatever we want.....the WHOLE day. Can't wait!!
Phase 2 for me, will be training for the 10km run in Ottawa in May. Oy. One thing at a time....
So here's to making 2011 the year we get ourselves back!
