As some of you might know, I’ve been working out quite a bit.. more than I’ve done so in the past year and a half since Erynne was born. The last time Eric and I were trying to lose weight (badminton did wonders on us!), we got pregnant. From that pregnancy came many, many, many unwanted pounds. Last Tuesday marked my 4th week of exercising but sad to say, the results have not been that impressive. Sure, my clothes are fitting better and my muscles are feeling tighter but this past week, I think I’ve put on some weight cuz I can just feel myself getting wider. Go figure, what with that scrumptious burger I had at In ‘N’ Out the other day and the oh-so-massive-heaps of rice I’ve been consuming…. haaaaaaayyyy. There are days I take steps forward…. but later on in the week, I’m taking double the steps backwards. The battles, the battles, the battles!
So what am I going to do? As Emeril Lagasse would say, I’m taking it up another notch. I’m giving up rice. Oh yes. And this is huge guys. Major. Life-altering. OMG wow. If you don’t know this yet about me, I live for rice. There’s not a day that goes by in my life that I don’t eat rice. Almost like (though this might already come across as an exaggeration but funny nonetheless) if our home was on fire, you might see me saving the rice cooker when others might probably save their dog, photo albums, etc. LOL. Or.. better yet, how’s this: rice is to me what sugar is to a diabetic, cocaine to a cocaine user/addict, or alcohol to an alcoholic. Hmm.. okay, well maybe that’s going too far and probably not even necessary to say, but you get the idea. All I know is, rice is life. LOL.
So here goes to better eating habits. One day at a time.
RICE!?!?!?! I feel for you!!!! I am the Rice King. All my friends know it…especially Malouvy hahahahaha. I am like the rice version of the Cone Heads on SNL. I can eat MASS QUANTITIES OF IT. However, when I started a short term goal of getting into shape fast, cutting down on the oh-so-damn-good rice, I dropped the weight fast. Try swapping in some brown rice first. One of two things will happen…you’ll either like it and it will help curb the appetite or you’ll hate it and stop eating rice altogether for a while.
In any case, when the fasting is over, I’ll fly over and we can have a rice fest (Triple Elephant brand is my favorite….ahh yeah, I smell the Jasmine right now yummmmm). We’ll then make garlic fried rice with leftovers (if any haha).
Ok enough of my dreaming…cut down the rice and watch the weight drop! You can do it Jen!
Okay, I don’t know about your Triple Elephant fetish there but THREE LADIES rocks my world. Bwahahahahaha! Ahhh, there’s fresh rice sitting in my kitchen RIGHT NOW ~ can you smell the jasmine?! LOL. Hell, my fasting is never going to be over. I think I need to undergo rice theraphy sessions with a professional. Hahahhahahahha!
