If Senator Obama is President-elect Obama a week from now, I'm going on a diet

[Seen the light]

I don't know, I just feel like I've been needing to get rid of these man boobs for a while now and I think next week is as good of a time as ever. I'm thinking of doing the Jared from Subway thing and eating a lot of Veggie Delites.

I challenge DU to join me in making some sort of resolution they'll honor if we have a President-elect Obama next week.

1. I could stand to lose 40 pounds

Let's do it!

[napoleon_in_rags]

2. I'm in! Vegetarian.

And quitting smoking when he gets in office in January.

[wileedog]

3. I'm going to stop sniffing glue...

[truthisfreedom]

13. I can never remember to stop sniffing glue.

Drat!

[KewlKat]

24. U mean we're not supposed to sniff that stuff? OY

Perhaps that's why I have a difficult time blowing my nose, since my nostrils seem to stick together. Damn.

[Tunkamerica]

27. but then how will you know if it's gone bad?

[Drunken Irishman]

4. Well a week from now, polls won't even be open yet. ;)

[BlooInBloo]

22. Bah. Couldn't find anything to drink tonight?

:rofl:

[helderheid]

5. So far down 25 doing the HcG diet - will start my 2nd round Jan 1

[rubberducky]

6. What a good idea! Count me in!

I do much better when I have a weight loss "buddy".

[NC_Nurse]

My husband and I started one about 2 months ago. We've done well. He's

lost around 20 and I've lost around 15 (lbs, that is). It feels great! :D

[FrenchieCat]

7. I'm gonna quit smoking......

It's time anyways.

[napoleon_in_rags]

14. And you'll have much much less reason to be freaked out...

...which makes it a lot easier to quit. I wonder how many poor souls have been driven to drink in the past 8 years.

[abumbyanyothername]

8. I lost 20 pounds in a week

and 40 in three months.

I totally fasted for the first week, however.

I would love to start some kind of HMO that would offer people on this plan extremely affordable health care!

[MarjorieG]

9. Plus 50lbs after a never-ending 2004 mope. I need to lose those 50, plus more.

[GrizzlyMan]

10. I'm going to gain 40 pounds and START smoking

No...actually I'm going to quite smoking which will probably make me gain 40 pounds.

[LooseWilly]

11. I quit smoking in May...

mostly.

I can barely feel my feet I'm nicfitting so hard.

If Obama wins, I think I'm gonna START sniffing glue... in celebration.

[truthisfreedom]

12. I just went on one today. Ate an organic salad for dinner.

I'm losing weight IN ANTICIPATION of needing to jump higher and more often with joy!

[ecstatic]

15. I vow to eat healthier and workout at least 4 times a week

[DaveinMD]

16. I diet after every election

I always put on the campaign 15.

[Starry Messenger]

17. Well, I already quit smoking.

It was definitely time, but I was helped knowing Obama had quit for his campaign. Now I have to lose the comfort pounds I gained from my quit. Unfortunately it's only about 10 pounds, which is really hard to lose in girl-flesh. Hopefully a Democratic win will get me excited about cottage cheese. =/

[Jennicut]

18. If Obama wins I will run a freakin marathon in his honor

[thewiseguy]

19. I am thinking of gaining weight!

Maybe ten more pounds! :P

[Seen the light]

20. I'll definitely be gaining weight on Election Night itself

Maybe into Post-Election Early Morning if you know what I mean. :)

[KewlKat]

21. Wow,,, I was thinking of posting something similar

I thought I need to get in shape for the new President elect so I can help the country away from the keyboard. He's going to need us to be healthy and fit. Blogging since 2003 has sort of left me weak and no muscle tone. On the other hand, if the unimaginable happens, then I'll need to be strong to kick some rethug ass. Count me in.

[tedoll78]

23. I will begin jogging again.

I used to a few years ago, and it's starting to get cold in my area again. Really nice running weather.

It'll probably be time to cut-back on the sweets and sodas, too. I have a slothful feast planned for Election Night, and I'm going to need to burn it off.. :P

[Seen the light]

25. Yeah, all these resolutions do NOT include Election Night partying I might add

Don't think many would want to miss out on the fun that night.

[Madam Mossfern]

26. I'm in

I lost 30 pounds two years ago so I wouldn't be the frumpy mother of the groom at my son's wedding. I think I lost too much as I was constantly being described as 'that skinny lady'. So, I decided to put a few pounds back...oops. Now I need to lose about 8-10 pounds and it's been tough.

There's some Halloween candy in the cupboard calling to me ....Mosssssssssssssssferrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnn it's Butterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfingerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssssss....come and get meeeeeeeee.

[nico818]

28. I've been on a lemonaide fast since Oct. 4, The plan is to make it to Nov 4

So far, so good! Feeling great.

[windbreeze]

32. ????

you mean only drinking lemonade....or NOT drinking lemonade?...never heard of this one....clues please???wb

[Indiana_Dem]

29. I've been making those goals,too!

Here's my plan:
Decrease/to stop smoking and increase activity to replace smoking as much as possible
Eat healthier including nothing with corn syrup, less red meat, more organics, more beans, whole wheats/grains.
Yoga every morning; walking with hubby on nights off

Learn to cook from scratch and spend more time/energy making what I eat than eating it!

I don't know. Even though I know things won't be changed overnight, I'll just feel better having Dems in the White House. I'll have some measure of HOPE again.

[LynneSin]

30. I've actually already lost 30lbs on way to my goal of losing 50lb by the inauguration

watching MSNBC while on the lifecycle or treadmill really gets my heart racing angry!

[Duke Newcombe]

31. That's "change I can believe in"!! Me too! n/t
