Ahh, internet, I must report to you my failures. My 20 lbs of failure. OK, or maybe just 15. Yes, let's say Fifteen lbs of failure, for the sake of alliteration.
Yes, internet, in the past two years I have gained about 15 lbs. Or 17. Or 20. Yes, that does mean that I have successfully kept off almost 20 pounds since my pre-Sonoma Diet high, so, in that sense, success!
But at this particular juncture, I cannot fit into my favorite jeans. They fit me throughout graduate school, when I was 5-10 lbs heavier than I was in November 2009. Alas, with May's thyroidectomy, the fall's round-the-clock work schedule, and the resulting 10 lbs, I was forced to retire several pairs of pants.
This is unacceptable. Especially as my wedding approaches-- it is now less than six months away.
So, the Sonoma Diet must begin again. And not some half-assed Sonoma Diet flirtation, no, it is time for a full-blown Sonoma Diet affair.
And thus, tomorrow, Wave One begins. Ten days of healthy eating-- with no booze. And no fruit. And, oh my god, no wine.
I can, however, do it. I've made my meal plan, picking and choosing my favorite and/or most convenient meals from Wave One, and frankly, it looks delicious, if rather spare.
