The Non-Diet

(Aiko, we desperately need to take some new photos.)

Aiko & Corey will be married in 3 short weeks! That's 3 short weeks until Paul and I head to Waikiki - huzzah! The plan was for me to be in tip-top bikini shape by the time our beach vacation arrived, and seeing as how I've had 6 or so months to prepare, this should have been easy.

Too bad a) I'm lazy, b) I eat ice cream for a living and c) I have no willpower.

If I weren't lazy, I would have exercised like I had promised myself. If I did not eat ice cream for a living, I would not have needed to exercise quite as much. If I had willpower, I might know the difference between marketing ice cream and eating ice cream for a living.

Oh well. I'm round, and I've dealt with it. In the short term, though, I created a plan/non-diet to a) punish myself for being so lazy & weak-willed over the last 6 months and b) feel less flabby in 3 short weeks.

My regimen - a) be less lazy (which includes brisk walking a few days each week, crunches & girly push-ups), b) realize that I promote ice cream for a living - not eat it and c) dig deep in the depths of my being to find some willpower.

I am on Day 3 of no ice cream... Day 3 - in those 3 days, I have visited 8 or so ice cream shops - now that is willpower, my friends! Plus, I've done some brisk walking, crunches, push-ups and jumping jacks. Never mind the fact that I had 1.5 donuts on Monday plus 1 delicious mini-marzipan and some delicious chocolate pudding (that tasted like frosting - yum) yesterday... Just forget those because they don't count as ice cream.

3 days down and 18 to go...
