Emily's plan...

Well as often is the case I have been letting the little things that don't seem to matter slip from my daily routine. And let other habits grow. One that has not been a factor in my life is diet and exercise. I know enough about nutrition that I could eat well enough. In actuality I have a good diet (other than fast food) but too large an appetite. Unfortunately, for the past 3 years I have let fast food play a larger, and larger role. Not good. Emily has started me today on a diet which is making me sick *gag*. Too girly-ish food for my taste. lol. But unlike attempts in the past I am motivated to continue on, I will just have to plan out a better menu with 'Chez Emily'. As nutritionists and health experts everywhere will tell you, calories in should equal calories out. Or at least that is what the ones without a fad diet to sell say. So with the new dedication to no fast food and actual human sized portions of home cooked meals, I am swimming every night. And a maybe find a good treadmill before fall. I do enjoy cooking and going out to eat, but I will try to stick to the occasional sit down dinner when dining out. On my first day I was stuck on a service call downtown around noon, hungry, with a 'Long John's Silver' starring me in the face. I thought it was commendable that I passed on by that rare treat of battered fish and chicken. Well it will be an experience, and Emily has sworn to cut me down to size.. Maybe by next summer I can fit into the fancy 2XL or even XL TNBC shirts.
