Ideally, 9am I would wake up and weigh myself. Hopefully have gone down a pound. I would have a 16oz cup of mint tea, maybe green to boost my metabolic rate. No sugar, of course. Maybe a handful of grapes, 60. 10a Breathe in the morning air and stretch, feel my ribs, my hip bones, my chest and collar bones. 10:30a Put on my workout clothes and go for a morning run. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 miles. 11:15a Drink a big cup of water. Take a cold shower, it burns calories quicker. 11:45a Have lunch. Lettuce, 5 Tomatoes, 22 Cucumber, 8 Dressing, 120 Cut that in half. 60. 95 calories. 12:30p Go out with my friends. They tell me I have a perfect figure and should try on clothes with them. "No, I don't really want to buy anything. I will just watch you guys try things on." I start to become anxious because it's almost time for my afternoon workout. 3:15p I throw my items onto my floor and jump into my workout clothes. I run in the scorching heat, feeling like my lungs are going to collapse, panting and wheezing. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 miles. 5p Dinner. Minestrone soup, 90 5:30p Do some yoga stretching while watching some TV. Drink diet coke and munch on sugar cubes. 8p Final run of the day. I must put on reflective gear because this is my longest run of the day and I will be out running late. Okay. I got this. My legs feel weak and I am exhausted but I can do this. Slow pace. You got this. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 7, 8 miles I collapse on my front lawn. Panting, nearly feeling dead. But I did it. Can't wait to do it all again tomorrow.
