Summer Slim Down... attempt

I finally threw away my size 4 and size 6 shorts this summer.  I was (mistakenly) under the impression that I might wake up one day, suddenly be a size 6 and unclothed!  Although if I did wake up a size 6, I would probably run around naked anyway checking out my miraculously toned glutes!  But alas, I gave up the dream and reality hit me right in my chubby little face.... I'm going to have to actually work at this.  I don't like to sweat and I don't like to be deprived anything!  Diet and exercise is something crazy people do because they weren't hugged enough as a child or something.

Well, I discovered a wonderful place that sells meal replacement shakes and for a small fortune you, too, can have all the smoothie enhancements you desire!

I LOVE SMOOTHIE KING!  There I said it.  Starbucks, I am truly sorry, it's not you, it's me.  The reason my baristas haven't seen me lately is because I've been sneaking around with Smoothie King.  It started out as purely a friend thing!  I just wanted some lunch in a hurry one day and I had a coupon!  I don't know what happened... one smoothie lead to another and pretty soon I am buying the big bucket o' smoothie mix to make them at home.

I joined Planet Fitness ($10 a month baby!) and started the ARC machine about 45 -55 minutes per day with Smoothie King for lunch.  This all began maybe 3 weeks ago.  I don't feel a huge loss (no pun intended) but it's a gradual loss.  For example, my butt sweat imprint on the workout machines seems to be shrinking.  I wipe them down with cleaner!  Yuck!

Anyway, wish me luck and I'll keep you posted!  Any tips would be appreciated!
