the slow carb diet.

okay. i'm on day one of this "slow carb diet" from tim ferriss's book "the 4 hour body." i've known a few girls who have done it and had good results, and it's made for people who simply don't have the time to do full-on workouts. i used to spend 40ish minutes at the gym 4 times a week, and i lost a ton of weight. now, i'm lucky if i can find the time to do a 15 minute walk! with this diet, you're supposed to only do some light cardio and strength training (and never on the same day), or else it will work the opposite and you'll gain weight! yikes! the diet is great, but i can tell it's going to wear on me...oh well, results are results, right? i just have such a sweet tooth...essentially, you don't eat anything but beans, green vegetables, and meat for 6 days out of the week. but then there's the cheat day. the glorious cheat day. ferriss suggests that you eat yourself into oblivion on the cheat day, ingesting all things delicious that you miss throughout the week. i've been operating on a 'sunday is cheat day' mentality for the last couple of years, so this shouldn't be hard for me. i'm just so glad that i get to eat ice cream on that day! here are the things i'm definitely going to partake in on my cheat day:

• ice cream (and lots of it)
• macaroni & cheese (and probably other pastas)
• fruit
• sunday morning bagel
• sunday morning donut (i know, i know)
• pizza
• cookies
• candy (lots of chocolate, please)

just thinking about it gets me excited. haha. i just need to lose like 20ish more lbs. i'll be doing long walks on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays...and doing some light weightlifting on tuesdays, thursdays, and saturdays. it should be good! i've also got chad and some others keeping me accountable (because we know i need it!)...i can't wait to see the results! i hope they come sooner rather than later! :)
