Excercise update

Since I'm trying out a new "Resolution" to get fit and all, yesterday I decided to try out my own dietary plan known as "Suz~DeTox Solution".  Here it is in the nut shell; I will only eat 3 bowls of High Fiber Cereal along with loads of water to flush out all the impurities (I'm very hopeful this will happen, if you know what I mean).  NO wine!  So, okay yesterday went fine.  I didn't get really hungry until about 10:00 PM, so I caved in for 1/2 of a green Banana (YUCK!), but it did the trick.  And today is going good so far.  I've had coffee, and tea (both made with water), and of course water, NO wine!  Now, do I see this as a long term way of eating, H*&$  NO!  NO Wine!  But the first 3 days of a diet are always the worst, so I'm taking it one day at a time here.  So maybe after a week, I will switch over to calorie counting (1200 Cal. per day), and see how that goes.  Oh yes, I also did some exercises too, which consisted of snow shoveling; carried in 3 arm fulls of firewood  (which I had to trudge through the snow to get to); then managed 1.5 minutes on the Step 600 machine.  Boy do I feel...(like crap).

In theory this all sounds good, but why can't I just live my life the way I want to and be Happy doing it (Yes,Wine!)?
