it begins...
Jan. 1st, 2004 06:28 pmthe diet, that is. Tonight, we snack on leftovers from the NYE party. Tomorrow morning, anything not being taken to the monthly poker game on Saturday goes into the trash.
I managed to get through the holiday season without going above what I consider 'acceptable" weight (yay me! Yay treadmill!), but I want to get back down to what I consider to be my ideal weight.
For those wondering, I'm at 135. Ideal is 129. Or thereabouts. I'm 5'4", short-waisted, with relatively dense bone structure. From 125-129 I still look good and have room to indulge as the occasion demands. Under 125, and strangers on the street ask me if I've been eating recently.... It helps a) that I carry my weight in the stomach and hips, which can be offset by good shoulders and straight posture, and b) that I long ago learned how to dress for my body type.
Wish me luck. And strength to resist the remains of the stinky cheeses that I can't bear to toss while we still have a houseguest who will enjoy them.
