If you've been reading along on the blog, you'll know I've made a
commitment to lose 10 pounds by Saint Patrick's Day when I always make a
vat of potato soup and loaves of Irish soda bread:
I've got a routine of exercise and cutting back on food so that I subtract 35,000 calories in 8 weeks. (For instance, no meat 2 nights a week.) No fancy-schmancy (as Sandy would say) diet; no gimmicks; no cash or meetings. Just me. My bean-counter head and my family room and the city of Saint Paul as gym.
One of the things I've changed is that I can have only fruit or vegetables 4 lunches per week. No meat, no bread, no rice, etc. I am fine with a piece of fruit each day so far and if I'm starving, I cheat a bit to add some Greek yogurt and a little of my homemade, low-fat granola.
