Bad Diet Blogger!

It’s been a HIGHLY busy week! That’s my reason for not keeping up with my little diet corner on the web this week - - it doesn’t mean I haven’t been keeping up with my diet efforts, though!

My unofficial weight loss this week is a full 7lbs since the first day. I say ‘unofficial’ because Monday is really my designated day to weigh-in, measure and take those pictures.

Let me just say a word about pictures. I have some friends who put up pictures of their favorite super model - - or a picture of a lady in a bikini with a killer ass for inspiration in their weight loss efforts. I have a friend who has a sexy picture of Shania Twain taped to her treadmill display, to inspire her to get those kind of abs.

For me? I took before pictures of myself on the day I started this diet - - and I take new pictures every week through this process. Putting up those pictures of myself is all the motivation that I need - - especially the picture of me with my back to the camera, if you get what I’m sayin’?

Not saying that I don’t dream of abs like Shania Twain - because I do! But looking at HER perfect body isn’t as motivating to me as looking at my own imperfect body. I can do 25 minutes on the treadmill looking at my own picture and do a run down of all the areas I want to change.

It’s torture, yes. No pain, no gain - as they say.
