Diet Books

A certain extended family member bought the new South Beach diet book. This family member mentioned that it was great because it had exercise recommendations to help you lose more weight. It made me chuckle. Not because I think the South Beach diet is bad. It's great, but because it is basically about healthy eating and now they suggest adding exercise. I wonder where he got that idea?

Since the husband and I are trying to eat healthy and exercise I told him we should write a diet book. It won't be the "Steak a Day Diet" or the "Cream Cheese and Celery Diet," but something more like "The Lean Meat and Vegetable Diet." We are going to make a million dollars. Then five years later we will write another one with exercise suggestions that people have been doing for years and years and make another million. Don't steal my idea okay?

Anyway. Part of the challenge is to drink enough water during the day. This article is interesting don't you think? Maybe someone should write a book.

The Challenge

I was reading a family blog and found this challenge. I didn't do the challenge because I was still pregnant, but kept reading it after the baby was born. If you get a chance please do go to this blog and read Tanna's testimony on the right hand side. I found myself encouraged her posts on this blog and decided that I was going to join her in the next challenge. It is basically just a challenge to eat healthy and exercise, but sometimes you just need a big of encouragment to begin huh?
I'm determined to lose those last pesky pounds and regain my strength especially with those poor stretched out abdominals. I managed to lose all the baby weight after the toddler, but I'm having a hard time motivating myself this time around. I don't feel as depressed and I didn't gain as much weight this time around, but I still need to get with it! So, now that I've posted I know I'll have to update every once in awhile and keep at it. Day 2 and gotta go exercise after we put the boys down:)
