Chicken: Bo and I decided that we'd like to get into better shape and improve our health.
Bo: Since being gym-bos isn't a viable option (see Blog-er-size) we decided a combination of a healthy diet and home exercise would be the best way to go.
Chicken: So we decided for a month we would give up ALL fried foods. That means no french fries, no fried onion rings, and
Bo: No Crab Rangoon! My only weakness!!!!
Chicken: That's right. No Crab Rangoon or sweet and sour chicken. But, we are NOT giving up soda; we are just going to significantly reduce our soda intake. I'm going down to 1 diet coke a day.
Bo: I'm going to exercise 3 times a week.
The Results Are In!
Bo: A month came and went so fast, I could hardly believe it! So fast in fact, that I forgot to publish this blog after writing the results. Oopsie!
Chicken: And it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be.
Bo: So true! With so many extra fruits and veggies around, every time I wanted a snack the only snacks around were healthy ones.
Chicken: Plus, healthy food seems to be more filling.
So here are the shocking results:
Bo: I lost 8 pounds (4 in the first week alone!!) and 6 inches. Plus, I feel like I'm more awake during the day and sleeping better at night. I used to crave french fries, but since I've gone over month without eating them- if I do get fast food , I always get a side salad or cottage cheese on the side.
Chicken: I lost 6 pounds and 5 inches. I've been having trouble sleeping and actually staying up later than I usually do. I don't crave Crab Rangoon anymore though.
But was it worth it?
Chicken: How can I not be happy with the results? But I gotta admit that I kind of hit a wall after week 2 and my weight was pretty consistent from then till the end of the month.
Bo: The same for me too. After week 2, my weight was pretty steady. Plus, by the end of it I was SO sick of ramen noodles. It's been months since we've done this and I haven't been able to even look at another cup-o-soup. I've also been staying away from pretty much all fruit except the occasional grape.
Chicken: I know how you feel!
Bo: I think it just all comes down with being happy with your size and who you are. Genetics does have a lot to do with everyone's makeup and not everyone was meant to be a size 6- I know I'm not.
Chicken: Well let's raise our glasses of Diet Coke and Cherry Coke, respectively, and toast to all of our hard work!
Bo: To our Souper Fruitastic Results!
Chicken: And may we never be crazy enough to try that again!
