Here is my story

I have always been sportive. I was a professional dancer, swam like a mermaid. SUPER fit, perfect body, then it happened....baby number one! Gained 40 extra pounds, craved food constantly, ate too much. It took me a year to loose it. Then...baby number 2! Gained 40 pounds and it took me 3 years to loose it. Baby number 3. Gained 60 pounds! Eating burgers almost everyday and craving steak fries. So two years later, i am almost at my perfect weight, almost there.

If you understand your mistakes and what works you will be healthy and have your perfect weight.

1rst day with no meat

What i had today....Oatmeal.....fish and broccoli....7 grains chips....7 layer dip and chips and California rolls (sushi)...one nectarine.
So far so good, got some cheese on the seven layer dip but thought being vegetarian is good enough, i will just reduce a lot the cheese. Yogurt is so good for you, i will keep it in the diet. fat free Milk too.
That is amazing how much veggies and fruits i can buy when the meat is out of the picture!

New diet

My husband had guys from the factory in Taiwan for Amber Alert GPS fly here. They were talking about this new diet book made in China.
They had a search about health and eating with millions of Chinese....the result...poor people live longer and have less health problems.
The cause...Meat. Poor people don't eat meat so live longer and have less health problems and ...are leaner?

I know that it takes 3 days for our body to digest meat, so not good if i am trying to loose weight and calories.
So here is my experiment. No meat for 30 days?
No cheese, no meat, no animal fat?
That is a hard one.
I can cook, thankfully, my Mother is a great French chef and passed it down.
Hum...I just had my last piece of cheese tonight.
Hubby had no meat today and says he fells good already.
We eat meat everyday...i would say.
I will keep you updated with the diet, tomorrow is grocery shopping.

8 pounds

2 months ago, i only had 2 pounds to loose to be at my pre-baby weight. Then i got really upset. REALLY upset. I had someone being very nasty to me.
I started eating donuts, everyday....ate way more than i should and i felt better but... i gained 8 pounds. Can't fit my jeans again. One year of good diet gone!
I faced my problem, told the person to go to hell and stay there. I am back on track. I am healing on the inside, body and mind.
I had to face my problem to heal and stop the unhealthy eating. The body and mind is beautifully one. They affect one another. Need one another to be balanced.
My two year old is sleeping in my arms as i type. I want to be healthy and balanced for her.
