I have gained about 8 pounds since I got married, and it's not just from being a writer and working from home. There's also that I'm cooking more regularly, and eating more. When I was single, I used to eat mostly once a day, and munch and snack fruits the rest of the time. Now I eat twice a day while still munching. And not only that, I somehow think dishing a man's food makes me get a larger portion too. Does that even make sense?
Anyway, I have determined to drop at least 5 pounds before the end of summer. And I'm glad I said it here on the blog, I think it will make me more accountable. Wish me luck!
Love your pic. Lol at your gaining weight. Well, I'll be back to check your progress then. Up the veggies and fruities. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh o, why is it that the day I'm first you're not offering anything for being first. Lol lol. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh no Myne don't get me started...you'll drive me to slitting my wrists....lol _only joking, it's not a cry for help....but tempting just thinking about fat.
ReplyDeleteI adore that pick and i can;t find the 8 pounds. I used a magnifying glass.
ReplyDeleteOk Myne,you also need to lose the relationship 15...hehehehehe
ReplyDeleteI really do not understand how this works but i know its true. Brides loose weight before the wedding and get all blown up weeks after 'I do'. And then if time is not taken, it becomes a life long weight struggle because soon after that comes baby fat *sigh #unfair

ReplyDeleteIs your picture a recent one? you look good .).)
ReplyDeleteWondering if you really need to lose weight, though you didn't mention about you present body measurements, BMI, body fat%...
Contrary to some people experience, I gain weight when I do not cook. Am a strong advocate of 'get fit in the gym and lose weight in the kitchen'
Marriage and weight gain uh!
Myne you truly look lovely(am the one who needs to drop 15 pounds not you) :)
ReplyDeleteFab pix! Love the pose n dress :) Wish u the best!
ReplyDeleteI love this picture. The beautiful yellow tulips in the background is so captivating!
ReplyDeleteAll the best on your quest!
But I think you should ascertain whether you really need to lose weight tho. Check your BMI, that is, your height(M2)/weight(Kg). The normal range should be from 18.5-25. Less than 18.5 -underweight... and vice versa.
ReplyDeleteSome people get on a mission to lose weight, when they are actually underweight and need to add some to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Anyway, if you must, then I think you'll need this http://janylbenyl.blogspot.com/2011/05/kick-loads-off.html :)
All the best!
it's true, i put almost as much as my husband's portion on my plate and i end up finishing it too! lol :)
ReplyDeleteHi Myne
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so fantastic with so many goodies to click on each time I visit, and thats before I read it oh!Mine is dull when compared to yours,I dont even know how to put up a blogrow orbloglist.Nutty tried to tell me but I didnt get it..Then I made her an admin to do it for me but she didnt and so on.LOL. I will get there somehow.
As for loosing weight, yes I guess many brides want to look slimmer on their wedding day. Unless of course the let the horse out of the stable in which case they marry with a 6month pregnancy shooting out.lol.
Oh you gained? Was it due to childbirth and food? or just food like you said?
Well good luck with loosing some weight

Totally agree that marriage can lead to weight gain.
ReplyDeleteHowever, you look fab...!
Jealous much!!
As for me, what makes it worse is that my hubby eats like a horse and still remains slim...while I only have to inhale the scent of good food and I put on weight.
Oh well, I have come to accept that my extra layers 'insulates' me against the British cold :)))
