WEEK UNO

Holy crap...I made it through the first week w/o touching any non-ediet food! This week only the food and drinking part of the plan were in place. Next week, the diet continues, the drinking ban continues, and now I have to start hitting the gym! That'll show'em.

Anyhow, My starting weight this week was 220 lbs. and ending weight was 214. That's right 6 lbs. (3 better than the goal)! I know, I know, don't get too crazy, it is only the first week. But it did feel good to step on the scale and see a change.

This week was a little tough. I could feel the reduced food - and no fried junk - sort of playing with my emotions a bit. Maria will attest that I was on edge a little this week. And my darn nose can smell bacon from miles away - I love bacon. Hopefully next week I will be distracted with the fear of working out and won't notice the food reduction.

I have also starting taking 2 packets of Ola Loa vitamin powder. It is supposed to do a bunch of things, like increase energy, up the metabolism, better recovery (will need that this week)...etc, etc. Maria's sister Jen told me about it...and I got it here: http://www.vitacost.com/Ola-Loa-Energy-Drink
- Not sure if it is working, but my pee is fluorescent and smells funny...so there.

OK, on to next week...
