It’s that time of year again.  That time where we can press the “reset” button on life.  The New Year brings fresh hope for finishing things unaccomplished.  I plan on making this the year I drop the pounds, organize my home, and keep up with a routine that includes blogging on a regular basis.  Not too much to ask, right?

I will start with diet and exercise.  I have been so inconsistent with working out and eating right.  I get bored easy, what can I say!  Not to mention, most diets I have tried are unsustainable.  Everyone is different…I believe different diets work for different people.  It has got to be a gene thing.  Anyway, after watching the new reality show on ABC called “My Diet is Better Than Yours”, I decided I could attempt this at home.  I can find the diet that works for me…by trying them…for a week.  My plan is to “try-on” a diet for 7 days.  At the end of 7 days I will weigh-in and see if the diet is working.  Now I know the scale is not the most accurate in the beginning of a new diet.  Water weight fluctuations and muscle can really throw off the numbers.  So I also plan on using body measurements and consider my overall physical and mental well being while on each.  At that point, I will make a decision to keep it or kick it.  I have started today with the “10-Hour Coffee Diet” (J. Jolan).  So it basically consists of, you guessed it…coffee!  The coffee drink I have to make has ample amounts of fat and protein.   But, this is supposed to sustain me until dinner.  Um, yeah.  I love coffee, but I’m having a hard time waiting till dinner to eat a real meal!  This feels like slim-fast on steroids.  I will give it 7 days before I decide, and update you all on how it is going. So! Day 1 is officially over, but, I have to say, it was pretty rough.  I had “fog brain” all day until dinner.  I have heard others rave about putting fats in coffee…not feeling it yet, and I love the stuff!  We shall see…
