About me:
I am wonderba!


Diets I like:
No sugar (or syrups, or anything ending in "ose" in first five ingredients), fried foods, processed/refined grains, butter, or dairy that's not skim/nonfat. Limited eating out, except for salads with low-fat dressing on the side. One gallon or more of water daily (room temp only). No artificial sweeteners.


Workout of choice:
Running.


My plan:
1. Stock work and home kitchens with necessary foods and bottled water. (Done!) Replenish every two weeks. 2. Get out of bed and put on running shoes first thing every morning, except Saturdays. 3. Drink one litre of water before breakfast, two more before 5:00 p.m., and one each evening. 4. Decline meals out at restaurants whenever possible, and when it's not, eat only a salad (no bread, croutons, or cheese) with low-fat dressing on the side. 5. Post to food log daily.


I need the most help with:
Upsets to my routine. I usually run into trouble when unexpected things happen that throw me off, like bad weather that prevents me from getting outside, trips of any sort, or peer pressure to eat out with a group. When I stay in my routine the weight falls off pretty fast!


Additional Info:
Love to cheer others on, kayak, host picnics under the full moon, read about religion, watch movies, learn about fine art or anything French, and sculpt using alabaster stone. I want to become a dancer and complete a rope's course with ease!
