Gotta lose 20 in 20

Does that sound crazy? 20 lbs in 20 days. Before you all freak out (anyone even reading this?) that's not much for someone like me. I don't need to get into numbers and math, but this will be a drop in the proverbial bucket. When I had a mild case of pancreatitis two weeks ago, I dropped 8 lbs in three days. Water. So don't panic. Once I make this first goal, I will slow down.

The plan: 30 mins of cardio (elliptical) three times per week and yoga twice a week. This week, I will only get yoga once because I am going to Arkansas on Friday.
Calories: 2200/day. I won't be starving.

This also coincides with "hunger month" so I will be working on eating on a food stamp budget. Our budget is already close to that anyway, so I think it's possible. $3.70/day per person.

So I am sitting here at McDonald's with a fruit salad and diet coke, having some indoor play time for the munchkin. And as appealing as that new Rolo McFlurry sounds, there will be no ice cream crossing these lips today!

See you all (ha) tomorrow. :)

You know what my McDonald's food is, if we eat there? Their oatmeal! it's so good! and, only 6 pts or something on WW. They serve it anytime, so it's perfect for me! I was so excited that it was edible...everything else they have there that is sort of diet friendly is yucky.

Good luck on your first 20!!!

Jacki, I didn't know that their oatmeal was good! In general, their food makes me want to yak. But Olivia loves the playground, and I love the air conditioning. :)
