The 10-Pound Challenge! By Lutishia Lovely

Body By Night CoverCan you believe that October is here, and that in a few short months we’ll be welcoming in 2010? Me neither! But you know what this means? It means that if I’m going to parade around the Princess next April in my thong bikini , I’d better start slimming down my ass-ets! :) Oh, close your mouth, I’m not really planning on packing the thong for public viewing, but I do want to lose about ten pounds before the Romance Slam Jam cruise.

Doesn’t sound too hard, huh? That’s less than two pounds a month. Easy! Piece of cake! No, probably shouldn’t mention cake right about now. Piece of lettuce? Actually, I’m planning to lose these pounds in about two months, and I’m going to take a page for D’Andra Smalls book. Actually D’Andra Smalls is a character in a book: Body By Night by Zuri Day.

See, girlfriend ends up in emergency with high blood pressure and type II diabetes and as a result, decides to change her life by changing her lifestyle. She decided to not diet, however, but rather make some simple yet profound changes to the way she ate. She added more fresh fruits and vegetables to her diet, cut out sauces and cheeses covering everything, opted for wheat crackers instead of white bread…stuff like that. And the most important thing she did? Exercise!

She made moderate exercise a regular part of her life. I’m told that as little as thirty to forty-five minutes of exercise three days a week will significantly increase our health. I know this is true because that used to be me, emphasis on used to! With all the travel and writing I’ve done this year, I’ve fallen totally off my routine. But no more! Starting next week, I’m getting ready to get my step on, get my walk on, get my crunches on and baby! I’ll be ready to strut my stuff on deck and on de islands mon! I’m going to lose these ten pounds and I’m going to do one more thing: throw down a ten-pound challenge to all the rest of you cruisers. Anybody want to join me? Don’t make me pull out my thong…
