Yesterday I was SO GOOD - mostly. I had 6 servings of fruits and vegetables (I had counted to seven yesterday, but now I only remember six - grapefruit juice, grapes, apple slices, veggies in my risotto and a double whammy of green beans. At 4:11 I woke up and purged it all. My question is, do you have to count the calories if they go straight through to the toilet? BUT - since it was twice my normal amounts of fruits and vegetables, I continued to be sick through the morning. Sigh. I am back at it though. Right now I am eating a giant green salad with strawberries and blueberries, almonds and fresh mozzerella (which I can't spell for anything). It is already making me cramp up. Sigh. It is very tasty though.
I did another 10 minute DVD last night - and made it the whole 10 minutes this time. Although, I seriously considered quitting at 8 again. I wore shoes this time, but my ankles were still killing me. They were killing me in yoga too.
I started thinking how much better at yoga I would be if I was thinner. I mean, there are many poses that I am pretty good at - but I keep thinking that if my belly, breasts and thighs weren't in the way I would be much better at ALL of the poses (except maybe plank - my wrists really can't take that...).
I have decided to start chewing gum again. I am pretty sure my triple chins aren't because I stopped chewing gum, but it might help to tone up all of those layers.

Given that vegetables have next to no calories to begin with (I swear it takes more calories to chew carrots than you get from them!) I think they all pretty much count for zero.
Good for you for getting through all ten minutes of the video! The shoes aren't going to make much of a different for your ankles--unless you're wearing high tops they aren't really designed for ankle support. I learned some ankle strengthening exercises from my PT last year, though, that you might want to do so you don't injure yourself.
I predict that chewing gum won't make a difference in muscle tone, but it's still good for a diet. You can't eat something without thinking about it when you're chewing gum -- it forces a mental and physical effort. And my dentist chews gum regularly, because it's good for your teeth. So it can't hurt!
