Weight loss is an overwhelming topic for so many people, myself included. Counting calories and tracking mileage are just the beginning. Here is my list of weight-loss must-haves:
* Carefully plan out my errands so that I am no more than 100 feet from a restroom. Drinking water does the body good? I'm sure it has benefits, including the pee-pee dance and pissing like a racehorse.
* Always keep my gym bag in the truck in the hopes I will see it and want to sweat myself silly during my lunch hour. Deodorant and fresh socks and undies are a must.
* Gum. Lots of it.
* My iPod. Because nothing is more boring than counting the number of blue Volkswagens that pass you while you exercise.
* Sunglasses. Yes, I'm antisocial when I exercise. No, I don't want you to see how I really feel about my jiggly bits.
Needless to say, I am the heaviest I've ever been and vow to do something about it. None of this yo-yo dieting where I take one step forward and two steps back. I try to remain realistic, but let's face it - I no longer have the metabolism of an 18 year old. I also have to find time to work out. This coming from a former personal trainer. Oh, the irony of it all. When did I get way to big for my size 10 britches?
