... a lifetime on the hips, or so the saying goes! Well, the holidays have come and gone, leaving their mark on me to the tune of 6 lbs. weight gain. Yeah, I indulged a bit, and now it's time to pay the price. For all of you following me, I'm going to pull a bit of a Bridget Jones, and log my daily weight, eating and activity until I shed those 6 lbs. How long will it take? According to my iTouch application, "Losin' It" I can possibly tackle this in 2 weeks time, woah. Let's see if I can actually pull it off! I've tossed all my cookies (in the garbage that is) and plan to up my activity levels. My incentive? Someone special to look good for - nuff said!

No, I'm not trying to starve myself. My logic is to consume as many water soluble calories as possible. It was my over-consumption of calorie dense foods (cookies & breads) that got me into my predicament. I'll update at the end of the day with the final version of what I ate. Can I do it? Stay tuned to find out!!
