I know...Lady Gaga has a song by the same title, but hey, Shalamar's is the tune that popped into my head, so they get the title. What an honor, huh?!
I am now down to the last month and a half of my weight loss quest, and a month and a half away from potentially winning six figures from the hubster for losing it. I have decided that I need to "step it up", and mix it up. At the end of my last round of P90X, it was getting a little bit easier. This was not good. Cross-training and "muscle confusion" will get the most results.
I started to climb the "fire hill". This is really a steep road that runs straight up a mountain in my 'hood which gives fire trucks access to the hillside homes in the event of a fire. Living in the tinderbox known as Southern California, this road came in VERY HANDY a few years back, when the neighborhood was taken over by flames. The firemen managed to save every home! God bless 'em!
In any case, if I walk up and down this fire road twice, I can burn 300 calories, according to my Polar watch. My friend "Animal-issa" can acrtually RUN the dang thing! She is unreal. She is the one who also got me to do the P90X series! I will forever be in her debt!
Also, last weekend I went on a 10-mile hike through the hills with 11 other residents. The watch had me burning 958 calories in three hours. Not too shabby. Of course, I immediately drove to Starbucks to celebrate with a 252 calorie Vanilla Chai Latte. Self-sabotage. Again. Ugh! This weekend, it's a 13-miler! I can't wait!
I need to eat tuna, chicken, egg-whites, cucumbers, drink plenty of water, cut out carbs (mostly), delete the sugar (definitely), and push myself physically if I am going to win this money. If I don't make it, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life. Plus, it'll be fun spending it in NYC at BlogHer!
Anybody have any great tips that worked for them?!

There's no way you won't do it! I won't allow it!!! BUT...you're not supposed to spend the money without ME remember? :)
P.S. I was on the fire hill today....I thought of you!
Its the water, I swear--so much water. And those protein plus bars--that is what did it for me. and low carb yogurt-tastes like dessert
You are doing great!
So proud of you chica!!!!!!!!!!! I can't WAIT for BlogHer....
tips...let's see.... no alcohol during the week... no carbs after 7pm.......water water water.....
You can do it!!!!
smash up a block of cream cheese, splenda and unsweetened cocoa. Trace carbs and it tastes like the middle of a cheesecake.
Cut up fresh head of broccoli, cauliflower, and onions.
Mix 1 cup mayo, 1/2 cup equivalent of sugar substitute, and 2 TBSP vinegar. Put over veggies. Top with crushed bacon and sunflower seeds. no carbs.
These get me to love Atkins
