Day 421, Challenges Remaining: 90

Well, it's starting up again. With the wedding just a few months away I think it's time to get this stuff under control again. Plus, on the cruise ship they are doing "Celebrity's Biggest Loser" - a chance to win an iPad 2... that puppy is so mine. The competition runs from October 17 through December 16. Needless to say, every time I set out to do a diet or an exercise plan it usually lasts about 2 months. I hope I can change this.

Food consumed:
1:00pm - 2 pork gyros and lots of diet cokes

Exercise completed:
2 hours of walking around Santorini, Greece.

Day: 47, Challenges Remaining: ???

I have realized that it is going to be very difficult to stay healthy with my eating habits while living on the road. I think skipping lunch is going to be a good way for me to solve this problem. Especially since lunch is the only meal I have to pay for - so not spending any money on a day-to-day basis will be very helpful.

So I suppose my life has gotten more active since I have started working with Maxine, and that has shown to be a positive thing for many reasons: 1. I can't snack/cook/graze/eat all the time, 2. it gets me active up on my feet, doing stuff for a large portion of the day.

I saw Michelle Boyaner yesterday - she was the director of the short film I worked on last month - and right off the bat she asked me about my weight loss. So I guess it's noticeable. :) Always nice to hear it.
