Everyone around me cant stop talking about Jennifer Lopezs diet after flaunting her six-pack abs and, well,every other inch of her body at Sunday's Super Bowlhalftime show.
Seriously,who doesnt want to have J Los abs, legs and booty? So,Im doing it. Lets comparemy diet to thatof the 50-year-old Jenny from the Block.
Ditch coffee. Hell no. I drink three cups (of various sizes) of coffee before noon. But maybe I can switch one of those cups to decaf to start detoxing.
No alcohol. Ouch. I love red wine, but I guess I can do it skipping weeks at a time?
Protein shake for breakfast. Check.
Lunch anddinner: Veggies, greens, quinoa, lean protein?Get real. I stuffed myself over the weekend with barbecue, breads, apple pie, BLTs and pork pozole (soup). Tuesdays lunch is carne azada tacos, salsa and mango slices. But I'll be rethinking my main meals.
At least a gallon of water a day: Wow. Not even close, but I suppose half a gallon is a good start.
Never skip workouts.Lopez works out four to five times a week. Sigh. My three-times-a-week body pump gym class wont cut it. Maybe I can add one day of cardio?
OK. Lets get real. I wont have Lopezs body in a million years. Shes a multi-millionaire superstar with all the hired help at her fingertips. Personal trainers, cooks, maids, you name it, she has it.
But there is something inspirational about her physical appearance and approach to accomplishing it. She has us talking about exercising and eating habits, and thats huge.
To be sure, next time I reach out for the ice cream or the apple pie Ill be thinking of J Lo. Will you?
