Today is my birthday and marks my 27th year which I have deemed the year of Amanda (THE SUMMER OF GEORGE!....no?...no Seinfeld watchers here? Oh well). Which means tomorrow starts my journal of putting what I've read so far into practice.
As of today - Paco (my giant Buddah belly) measures 55 inches in circumference. I had a WTF moment and didn't believe it - I re-measured twice more to confirm. I walked 7km last night - I wonder how much bigger he would be if I didn't walk. hrmmmm
I know for many of you this blog is moving a little slow but I am doing my best to keep up with life (work, family, sanity, etc) and still read these academic articles. Take a beak and check back every week or so and see what's new. I'm averaging just over 100 views a day and feel bad when I don't get around to posting.
Have fun and make good choices,

Tonight, I DID NOT feel like working out. It's rainy, I'm tired and on my lady time (TMI, sorry) All I wanted to do was curl up with a blanket, a book and some chocolate but I knew my Uncle would be disapointed if I didn't go walking with him (I'd have to put $1 in the "fail jar"). So I went...out in the drizzle...and walked eight 0.5km laps and them he let me off the hook because I looked miserable (we usually do 12-14 laps - 6-7km). I just feel bad for copping out early and trying to justify it to myself.
Anyway, I like muffins and have been eating a lot of them lately. I call them "breakfast cakes" and they are delicious. So many delicious calories. I also took a picture of my dinner tonight so you can get a feel of what I eat for my supper meal:
Porkchop, mashed potatoes and mixed veggies:

This is the section that I will keep updated with my progress and thoughts.
Workout: Tonight was our night for stairs - welcome to the Garth St. escarpment - 322 steps. We walk 2km there, do the stairs and 2km back.
My uncle and I walk different routes 4 times a week to keep active. These routes range between 5km and 7km. I am in ok shape but my stomach is disproportionately large compared to the rest of my body. I have named it Paco and it's time for him to go.
My regular eating habits are admittedly not great. My average day is as follows:
Breakfast: Iced coffee, bagel
Lunch: Pizza slice or a sandwich of some sort with an apple or banana
Dinner:This meal is the most varied. Usually some sort of carb with meat or dairy.
Usually the vegetable is carrots, corn, peas or green beans.
