I'm on a new diet that works great. I lost 6 pounds in the past week. I ate normally and hardly worked out at all. Want to know the secret? Mix 2 parts stress with 1 part caffeine, throw in insomnia, and there you go. Instant weight loss. Although I should mention, I'm positive this isn't doctor approved.

See, we're moving. Cross country. Going from the West to the East Coast. It's somewhere around 2000 miles. So if that isn't stressful enough, we're going to sell our house. Yes, I said sell. We'll give it 6 months, then rent it out if we need to. It goes on the market tomorrow and we're getting the pictures taken today, so for the past week I've been doing nothing but painting, cleaning, painting, organizing, painting... you get the idea. Did you know that you burn 230 per hour of painting? I had no idea it was that high. And figure I spent at least 15 hours painting. Well, there goes a couple days worth of calories.

Balance getting-the-house-ready and figuring-out-what-needs-done-so-we-can-move with trying-to-keep-things-relatively-normal-for-the-kids and you get stress. Lots of it. Which makes for quick, easy (ish....) weight loss. But I don't advise it either.
