possibly losing my mind

so i was all set to write a post about this plateau i seem to be in the midst of and then, well, i had something bigger to write about. 

you see, my very good friend, the lovely and talented stylist Natalie Decleve found herself in possession of some personal training sessions that she had no need for, so she very generously gave them to me.  today i had my consultation/assessment with the trainer and let's just say i'm in for some changes...

just a brief run-down of what i have agreed to do for the next 2 weeks:

no drinking anything other than water
no snacking
no carbs
work out every day

i'm trying to stay positive about this, i mean people pay a lot of money to work out with this woman and follow her plan and i've got the opportunity to do it for free!  so i'm trying to keep that in mind as i imagine my Saturday night without alcohol and try to figure out what i might eat at brunch tomorrow... 

i'm gonna do it though and i'm not gonna half-ass it.  the way i see it the next 2 weeks of my life will happen regardless of what i do, so i might as well do this plan and hopefully have something great to show for it.

i'm not gonna delude myself into thinking this is actually something i'd be interesting in doing for all time, but i'm hoping these 2 weeks will be some kind of jump-start to keep me motivated on my much longer journey.  i've been feeling a little stagnant lately and things haven't been progressing at the rate i'd like them to, so maybe this will get me going again.

anyway, i might be crazy, this might be beyond anything i can (or actually want to) handle but we never know until we try right?!

wish me luck!
