be warned, this is mostly about my new diet

So i am on the low calorie band wagon and i have chosen the 3 hour diet to get me to my goal of *132* lbs by October 15th. The 3 hour diet is like this, as far as i know without reading the book... You must eat within one hour of waking up. Every 3 hours after that you eat a small meal, like clockwork. Seriously, you can like set a timer if you have to. Last of all, you stop eatting 3 hours before bed. So do you wonder what my two days have been like since i've begun? In one word...Successful! I do have to be really intentional about this whole thing but it seems to be just up my alley. The meals are like; a bowl of cereal to begin with (measured out exactly, because i've been known to go overboard on bowls of cereal.) 3 hours later 1/2 a pita with homemade hummus (like 1/2 a cup) 3HL an open faced pulled pork sandwich with veggies on the side. 3HL a big salad with tomatoes cheese egg lunch meat all rolled up... This is gonna work and because last fall iread dr. phils book i already know about portion size so my 1st day, without counting, i completely stayed within my 1200 and less calorie range. With breat feeding i should begin to lose 2 pounds a week and hopefully i will get some excercise in besides all the mom type excercise, i.e. walking to the park, chasing two toddlers around the house and yard, leisurely walks with husband and close friends. I'd like to join curves but i don't see how i could. Weight training needs to happen for sure. Will my skin ever forgive the weight i've gained and go back to normal?
So all that blah blah blah and now the exciting part. Me and elena and the renees were in need of a motivating factor in all of this and since we are all not rich in material goods i thought maybe i had a solution. I saw it once on 20/20 or some such show. These people all had to get their photos taken by a professional in their bikinis and speedos. They then had to lose 20 pounds or so by a certain date and if they did'nt meet their goal then their photos would show up on 20/20 for the whole world to scrutinize. Needless to say they all did it. Who would'nt with a threat like that? If anyone evr saw me in a bikini today i think i'd cry. If all my friends saw me in one i'd be mortified and could probably not show my face. So now you see what i'm getting at. You would do anything to keep those photos from ever seeing the light of day.
Today i'm going to take a picture of myself. Not in a bikini, because then i'd probably make people puke if they had to see it. But then again no one will ever see it anyways so why not go for it? And then the stakes are even higher. I will then email this photo to elena who has helped me set up my blog and knows my password. And i will swear her to never looking at that email unless oct. 15th arrives with me not having met my goal. And i will let her post it to my blog. I myself will also post it on myspace and then i'll crawl under a rock and die.
You see now how this works? IT WORKS!!!!!!! I will work. It will be hard and i am up for this challenge! Even when the initial excitement wears off i'll still have my very good friends to keep me accountable and this photo.
Hopefully you all will not think that this is all my blog will be about now. It won't be. But i'll keep up with the updates and we'll see....
