Put A Little Fun In Your Week

I've found a way to have fun and lose weight at the same time. You don't believe me do you? You think fun and weight loss are oxymorons, meaning they don't go together. I'll get to that later, but first let me ask you a few questions. What do you see when you look in the mirror these days? A rounder face? (My hand goes up on this one.) A bulging belly? A wider behind?

Carrying around extra fat cells can be pretty hard on your self-confidence. Extra weight is the No. 1 confidence buster in my opinion. That's why I'm evicting my extra pounds. A leaner frame means more confidence, which translates into more promotions on the job and more -- and bigger -- clients in business. I'm ready to get out there and go for it, and I've found the perfect path to success.

Thanks to nutritionist (and weight lifter) Jay Robb, I'm losing pounds and eating whatever I like. It's the perfect program for me and my oval-looking face is proof that it's working. Plus, I'm seeing the numbers go down when I get on the scale. It feels good to get into those smaller jeans and not feel deprived in the process. On this program -- which I plan on doing on a modified basis even after shedding the pounds -- I eat a low carb fare everyday except Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. For sixty minutes on those three nights, I eat and drink whatever my heart desires! You can see why I'm rarely tempted to cheat. There's no need to since nothing is off limits!

Every Wednesday evening, I head to Gatti Town with my husband, and best friend who's also my business partner (she's on the program, too). We eat and drink anything we want while chatting and laughing. To be honest, we feel like kids who have been let out of school for the summer. It's like our own oasis where we escape the economic gloom and doom, and the everyday stresses of running a business. Every now and then, we head back to the recreational area to ride the bumper cars, play games and win tickets to get prizes.

Would you believe that last night I ate two nutty buddies on the way there? Somtimes life just tastes better when you eat dessert first! Try it.
