Day Two...
Part 1. Oh dear. Had a terrible night with the puppy whining and the kittens playing on the bed. Got up and came to check email. I actually ended up logging on to WoW and checking auctions! (500g!). Bag of sweets I left next to the computer last night is now finished. Not quite the power breakfast I had in mind...

Day One
Day one. Got to start somewhere. So, briefly, like so many others I want to be thinner, happier, richer! Easier said than done. I was never a skinny child, but stayed slim with no effort on my part. Now, I am 30 (ish!) wife and mother, making the transition from high flying, international traveling, cocktail drinking fashionista to coupon clipping, poop cleaning, face stuffing stay at home mom. Sadly much of that transition has been sideways.
Oh those power lunch gym workouts and the fortune spent in duty free...how I long for them. Moving to a new country, lonely and left at home my boredom drew me to a new addiction. World of Warcraft. (yes, I play and yes I am a girl). I have to say, simply, I love it. It fills those long nights alone with the thrill of leveling up. Ding! Haunting the auction house for that elusive mat and running dungeon after dungeon for that epic weapon. The only thing I hate about WoW is seeing my sexy, slim, size 2 human warlock running around. I want to be my avatar!!
You see sadly, all of these circumstances have combined to add 44 lbs (OMG!!) to my frame. So here I sit, with WoW on my alt tab and my gut oozing over my pants vowing to you that this year will be different. Well, more productive at any rate!
I have tried quitting this and that. I have tried atkins, low GI, and the cabbage soup diet (although in retrospect I shouldn't have tried them all together). I have binged, I have starved. I have popped diet pills till I shook. I haven't lost a pound. So I want to come up with a way that I can conquer the doldrums, and the pounds without any unhealthy dramatic shakeups. I have 44 lbs to lose, but would be happy with 30. I am not going to promise it will be gone in 2 weeks! But I am going to give myself 1 year...2011 to go from WoW to WOW!!
