The best Diet EVER!

So I've decided to start a new diet. I lost about 10 pounds training for a 5K and I've gained half of it back so I came up with a new plan.

The Plan: I am only allowed to eat sweets (in any form) if I do an intense workout for at least 30 minutes that day. Intense workouts include running, tae bo, swimming, 1 hr walk, kickball with neighbors (they make me play all outfield positions, it IS a workout!).

Today was my first day. I did 45 minutes of Taebo and ate 4 cupcakes...I'm off to a great start. I probably burned 350 calories and ate 1500...fantastic.

I am optimistic about the future. I'm going to try to limit it to one sweet, but I really like sweets so I don't know if I can have the self control.

ONE sweet is my treat for the day. I can't just go with out either... so I limit myself to just ONE - that way I still get my sweets, I try and take my time eating to enjoy, but know that I am not over doing it!! Good Luck

That is so how I feel, you try so had to work out but then one little cupcake(or 4)take it all away!

So to answer your question I have been to Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, Hungry, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Paris, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and soon Nicaragua!!

My current diet is to eat two fun size candy bars after lunch and ice cream after dinner...so far it is working great!

I don't think you gained any of those pounds back, you look great! Must be 5 lbs of muscle :)
