Here's how to lose five pounds:
For breakfast: Instant apple cinnamon oatmeal, three packets every day with just applesauce on top.
Move into a house with very steep windy stairs where the main living area is upstairs, but the kitchen, and the BATHROOM are DOWNSTAIRS.
The asthma is improving from all this stair-climbing, too. My ass looks great!
Things to do, especially if you are allergic to cats:
Don't forget to shampoo the rugs, because the extremely strange person from whom you bought the house had three cats and never bothered. Who doesn't shampoo the carpets before selling the place?
I already have very steep windy stairs at work that I go up and down numerous times a day. I never lost weight because of it, though. Maybe there are a critical number of staircases that must be involved before the staircase diet works?
