THE I'M-NOT-A-GARBAGE-BIN METHOD
I only eat high quality food – as I'm not a garbage bin.
I never finish of left overs instead of throwing them away – as I'm not a garbage bin.
I don't eat until my belly is too full – as I'm not a garbage bin.
If I'm e.g. offered lobster I eat it – but not the bread. As I'm not a garbage bin.
I accept sips of champagne and other excellent wines, but never BIB or beer – as I'm not a garbage bin.
I eat smaller amounts of the best desserts, homemade pastery and first rate chocolate – but never fabric made desserts or buns and of course NEVER supermarket candy. As I'm not a garbage bin.
I know that fast food, french fries and potatoe chips do better in a wastebin than in me.
And as opposed to a garbage bin – I enjoy the best of life.
The 100 days club
100 days club was invented by C and her friend S and in 2006. At the time C had a 2-yearold girl and a baby and was tired of being out of shape. C asked S for a diet method – but he replied that "dieting is for dumbies and let me be your personal trainer for 100 days." C asked three friends to join the club, and one of them was her dear American friend G. The others left us (or we them?), and we did three other 100 days clubs together, and kept on improving the concept.
In March 2009, after having another baby, we did fifth 100 days club. Together we started this blog, had lots of fun, lost weight, got in shape, had company by C2 for a while – and then ran a 10 k race together.
In October 2009, it was obvious that we had different life situations and ambitions. G left the club and kept on going for Vasaloppet (30k x-country skiing) and Paris Marathon!
Now we're back in business, doing it together again, like we allways should!
