Have you ever looked at one of the “ideal” weight charts in your doctor’s office and thought, “get real – there’s no way I’ll ever get down to that weight again unless I can find a time machine to take me back to my teenage years or grow six (or twelve) inches in the next month!”

Several years ago when the Atkins diet was super popular and food manufacturers were falling over themselves to flood the supermarket shelves with low carb foods, I jumped on the bandwagon and lost 35 pounds in 2 1/2 months.

Walking is a normal part of most people’s everyday lives. At least it used to be until most of us got so dependant on our motorized modes of transportation that it became normal to hop in our vehicles and drive 2 blocks to the gas station for a cup of coffee because who has the time or inclination to walk there and back? Walking is so normal to our bodies and can be a great aid in our weight loss efforts.

I’m pretty sure I could write a 600 page book on the best ways “to not lose weight” and how to “diet and gain weight and be a yo-yo” in less time than it takes to inhale a box of Twinkies. You name the diet or diet pill and I’ve probably tried it.

If you’ve ever had insomnia and turned to the television to distract you in the wee hours of the night, you’ve probably seen numerous infomercials for crazy looking gadgets and workouts guaranteed to give you rock hard abs. You may have even purchased a few of them in a weak moment. It’s pretty hard to resist the lure of people with those gorgeous rock hard abs telling us we can have them too if we only use their piece of equipment for a few minutes a day (and of course part with our hard earned money to get our hands on said gadget).

I never thought there would come a day when I would use the words “workout” and “favorite” in the same sentence. I used to equate “working out” with torture and something to be avoided at all costs. It’s not that I can say I now love to work out because I don’t. But, I do love what it does for me. It’s helping me lose weight, gives me more energy, helps me feel more clear headed and focused, is helping me get healthier and is making me look better because I’m building some muscle and getting toned rather than getting more lumpy every day by sitting on my butt and eating junk food.

Today’s diet plan boys and girls is this, “ Eat egg whites for breakfast along with 8 ounces of fat free milk and one slice of whole grain toast, salad greens with vinegar and a splash of olive oil for lunch along with an apple, and a plain chicken breast with steamed vegetables for dinner. If you’re really hungry in the evening and just have to have something, then you can splurge and eat a half cup of nonfat cottage cheese. And drink a bunch of water throughout the day” Does that sound delicious or so boring that you’d almost rather eat nothing?
