My Boss is fasting, so I'll lose 10lbs

So my boss and family aren't the best with sticking to eating for the better but really who is now-a-days with so many fast food, pre-made, hot n ready, drive-thru eateries it's no wonder Americans are at their biggest ever. The fast paced world we live in leaves much of us at a loss for cooking at home anymore and cooking healthy is put even further on the back burner.

I have good intentions of doing better but free food placed in front of you daily does prove challenging. Some days I'll make runs, not only to Taco Bell and Carl's Jr but to Shell to get ice creams and candy bars... free is hard to say no to, I don't care who you are.

My boss has opted to go through this fasting thingie that his dad did last year and lost 30ish lbs in about a month, month and a half (yes he has gained some of it back). This means no fast food is brought into the shop for... well how ever long this lasts so this is my chance to get back ahead of the game.

I also spoke with the hiking girls today, well one party and we want to get back to hiking, biking and/or camping with them. We have plenty of tools to make the Epic Hike happen next year. This involves, carrying our own tent, clothes, sleeping bag, food, basically everything we need for 4 days on our backs while we hike for 12 miles through the sand to which I am told by mile 3 I will be cussing out said party for talking me into such an adventure. With all this information, I WANT TO DO IT. For now we are in the process of planning a biking trip which I am very excited for. We live in one of the most outdoor friendly states and I'd like to get back to taking advantage of that.

Back to my cucumber and apple plum white tea.
