Sat down and made a deal with Kim. When we return from vacation we will go on the same general diet plan. This does not mean I will stop running. In fact at this point I can't imagine not running. After a couple of weeks of running without a training plan I am still running, and getting in good runs, like today:
But, I have to admit that exercise alone won't get rid of the belly. And I decided that a more scientific approach was needed. Not that the simple calories in, calories out formula doesn't work, it worked great for me. But it's not as good at maintenance. So I decided to seek out more knowledge.
Kim & I, mostly Kim, have been watching the television show The Biggest Loser for a while now. And we have learned some good tips. And we have also grown to respect the knowledge of the trainers there. And I began following the twitter feed for Bob Harper. So when he wrote a book about weight loss & maintenance I was intrigued. And after checking out some snippets it is clear that this is the type of book that should work for both of us:
So we bought the book for the Kindle, so we can read it at the same time. And have agreed to follow the Skinny Rules as our plan for at least a month. I think it will be easier for both of us if we follow the same basic plan, since we eat the majority of our meals together, or at least the same thing. As most of our lunches come from leftovers from dinner. So it should be relatively easy to follow the same plan. We'll see how it goes. For now we will enjoy our eating, and our upcoming vacation. And when we return it will be time to go to work on the Skinny Rules!
