diet is a dirty word

I do not know anyone that likes the word Diet... I hate it...
Since I am not pleased with my body lately, I knew I needed to make some changes. First step.... eat better!... enter the dirty word diet...
I decided that if I could follow a diet plan for 2 weeks, then my body would be used to eating these items and I would be in the habit of healthy eating.

I "borrowed" a meal plan from the Self magazine at the gym... (ok I stole it because I am not going to retrun these pages)

It is the JumpStart Diet... lose 8 lbs in 2 weeks.

So, with my Jump Start Diet and my new work out plan... I am on the road to getting back to Wedding Day weight (just 12 lbs less then I am today).
