I looked at the calendar last week and knew it was time to start a diet. I have until about July 1st to lose the winter weight and feel comfortable in my swimsuit for a week at Lake Powell. My husband, Tracy and I are in charge of planning the family reunion this year. It’s a lot of fun seeing everyone and getting away from it all, but wow…swimsuit. The word has power to intimidate.

I’m sharing an update with you of the Chocolate Cake for Breakfast Diet that I reported last year. . I had success with it for a few weeks and was quite pleased. But when we started our summer travels I left my kitchen and my Decadent Chocolate Cake at home. Sigh. I also wasn’t properly prepared to maintain the new weight.

I’ve had all fall and winter to think about that. So I’ve begun this diet again with more thought and armed with tools to help me get through it. I’m also telling you because they say that telling others can help with your success. Let’s hope it’s true ’cause I’m sharing it with the world here!

The basics are pretty simple really: Have a breakfast which includes protein and a sugary carb. This will perhaps be the largest meal of the day. (Crazy right?….This is according to the study done in Israel. You can read more about it here. ) Then lunch and dinner are lower carb (veggies and meat) –no big time starches.

Update 4/30/2013

Two weeks into this and 6 pounds lighter.  But I ran into a huge difficulty; I just couldn’t eat another cupcake at breakfast. …not to lose weight…not for a new wardrobe…not for a million dollars…well maybe.  But it fell apart for me just because I simply couldn’t do it anymore.  The thought upset my stomach.  How funny is that?  Hopefully something new will present itself or old…maybe I’m back to counting calories. ~sigh.~  Oh well, try, try again. You win some and you learn some, etc.   I guess this would be a great diet if I only had six pounds to lose. 🙂
