However, as I have gotten older, with two children and five grandchildren, I have noticed the effects of my ice cream consumption.
I just remember waking up one day and hardly recognizing the woman in the mirror. And when I went to check…I was sick at my stomach to discover I had blown up to 205!
So at first I tried to just hit the gym and sign up for every workout class you can imagine.
I've tried spin classes, boot camp, yoga, and running, and even tried out HOT yoga for a while.
Unfortunately, despite all the sweat I put in, I didn't see any changes in the results.
So, I decided to clean up my diet while still allowing myself some treats on my "cheat days".
I tried every possible diet - from keto to paleo, Mediterranean to pescatarian, and low carb to slow carb - before finally giving into the dreaded no carb.
I even gave up my beloved ice cream for a full 30 days, only to find that I had made no progress whatsoever.
