10 Days of Skinny Rules

I've been breaking rules left, right, and center. I've been drinking pop. I've been eating ice cream and cake. I've been eating FRIED foods. And candy. (I have a love-hate-but-mostly-love relationship with peanut M&Ms. It's getting kind of ridiculous.) And all sorts of terrible things.  There is less and less room in my jeans and more and more flab in my gut. Something has to change.

So, instead of doing my radical plant-based diet, I am going to try something new. About a month ago I read The Skinny Rules by Bob Harper. I'm going to try 10 days of adhering to these rules, which means that from October 12th to October 22nd, I will be following every skinny rule. Most of them are easy - "No fast food," for example, or "Don't drink your calories." Some of them are harder..."Drink a full glass of water before every meal" is one that isn't hard exactly, it's just one that I know I will forget. Hands down, the two most difficult will be:

1. Get rid of those white potatoes :(
2. No carbs after lunch (which means dinner is basically a protein and a veggie)

Tomorrow, I'm going to sit down and plan my meals for the next few days. Taking suggestions.
