My feet are swelly. Recently, my oh so smart sister pointed out that there is tons of sodium in pop, esp diet pop. So I have given up pop.
List of things given up so far:
1) bread
2) lagers
3) pop
for those of you who don't know lagers, they are thin cut potatoes deep fried in lager beer that you can get at the barley mill. Yummmy, esp with the dill dip. I have been addicted. One of my greatest victories to date is ordering a side salad instead of lagers.
I have also discovered that cheerios contains modified corn starch. One of the baddest of the bad on doctor oz's list. Yet they are advertised as oh so healthy. The fourth ingredient is sugar. Yet the front of the box proclaims the whole grain oats. sigh, all my food illusions are coming undone. There is nothing healthy to eat anymore.
My love affair with Japan springs from believing that it magically makes you thin. When I lived there I did not start excercising until at least six months after I got there. Yet I started to lose weight before then, that was what gave me the incentive to excercise and continue the loss. I really think the food is just better for you there.
Go figure.

I'm glad that you are still blogging! I will be interested to see how the changes affect the feet.
Maybe you could recreate the magic of Japan by creating an environment here where it is easier to be healthy than not. For example, a house full of healthy food but if you want junk, you have to go to the store. But you have to walk or bike to the store! I think it is just a matter of setting yourself up so that the easiest choices are healthy ones.

Congrats on the cruise! That will be a great incentive over the next year. Be sure to have mini-incentives along the way too though.
Side salads rock my world!!!
I am shocked about the Cheerios. And I just bought a box!
I gave up diet soda and crystal light -- sometimes it isn't easy - but it's definitely healthier! :)
Your cruise plans sound awesome. My big vacation plans are for 2010 - Hogwarts Harry Potter world at Universal Studios in Florida is scheduled to open then.
