Fighting the Dark Cloud of pudge!!

OK, it is time to “just do it” (not that I, in any way, support Nike’s taking advantage of children in third world countries!).  I have packed a wholesome low calorie/fat lunch.  I am not going to stop and eat something bad en route home (I hope!).  My plan is to talk the 5km home (I have done it before….although it might rain….). 

I have a job interview on Monday.  At this time I have only one pair of dress pants I can fit into.  They are nice.  They look fine.  They are a bit too heavy for this humid weather.  On the other hand, everything is too heavy for this humid weather.  So, I will try to stick to my weight loss plan so that this situation (the clothes not the interview) does not happen again.  Also, I would really like to lose some weight before my boyfriend and I go back to England this summer.  The look on my cousin’s face when he saw how big I had gotten… well, not a fun experience!  And this year we are going to Paris too!!  Yipee!

I am reading “Talk tothe Snail”- a cute and humourous book about France, and Paris.  http://www.amazon.com/Talk-Snail-Commandments-Understanding-French/dp/1596913096   In the book the author points out that kids in France are fed normal meals at school for lunch.  They have fries only once a month.  I look at what our kids are eating in my school caf. (and there are some somewhat healthy choies) and think the government should really change some priorities.  If we were all trained to eat well at a young age- role modelled at school (or taught, depending on the home!) maybe we wouldn’t have the obesity rate and the health problems we have now in our population.  Food for thought???

 Have a great day.
