Structure

So, I've failed miserably trying to freelance my fitness and eating. Stubborn, I just knew I knew how to run, strength train and eat to lose weight. Ha! I've gone from 134 to 141 this year. Okay, I was actually 145 one horrible morning. But today, I'm 141. That might not seem too high to you, but I'm only 5' tall and I was 97 pounds on my wedding day, 32 years ago. No I don't want to be 97 pounds again. But I'm aiming for 114-119. I was 114 before my pregnancies and got back down to about 118 and looked and felt fantastic.

Anyhow, I bought Joy Bauer's Your Inner Skinny:  Four Steps to Thin Forever and I'm following her eating plan. It's just unprocessed, nutrient packed food, nothing new, I've been eating naturally lately, but she doesn't include candy, chips, ice cream, cookies, pie and cupcakes. Which I did.  Hence the weight gain.

I'm also giving a handy dandy resistance band a try. Marie Osmond's Body Gym. I'm following the DVD. I've got 30 days to return it if I don't see results. I really would rather continue with the Brazil Butt Lift and Yoga, but until the surgical wound on my lower back heals, I can't do them full on.

Failure is not an option.
