I hopped on the scale mid-day today and to my surprise the numbers started with a 202. I am very happy with the weight that is coming off so quickly in this phase. I know it is probably a lot of water weight and due to just starting the diet, but I don't feel deprived, I eat all the time, and it's good food! I completely ran out of grapes and berries, so I went to the store again today to stock up for the rest of phase 1. I just love having some fresh fruit and yogurt in the mornings for breakfast. I have to get up a little earlier to make time to eat, but so far it has been worth it. Right now I have some sweet potato fries cooking in the oven. Yum! This weekend is the Apple Harvest Festival in the Commons and as my first fall in the Big Apple I think I will have to find some good for me apple-y goodies.
:P

Staying Strong
Well, it has been 3 whole days. That may not seem like a lot but it is a victory. When I woke up Monday morning and started this journey, I weighed myself. 205.6. I have no idea how it got to that. This morning I was 204.4. In only 2 days I lost 1.2 lbs. I think about cheating, but I resist. I think I can make it through phase 1. After that I get to add back in meat. This is going to be great and very do-able.
I did the math today and I am technically obese according to BMI. I will just be 'overweight' at 194. That will be my first goal. 194 by Halloween. Ill keep you updated.

A New Beginning - Part Duex
Well, my last beginning came and went as fast as they all do. I am not proud of that fact, and I was going to create a new blog, but then decided that trying to forget the past is the opposite of what I need to do. Everything I said in those posts were true and a periodic reminder of them could pose helpful in the long run.
My new 'new beginning' began today. It is the first day of the Fat Smash Diet - a 90 day plan in 4 phases. It seems like perfect timing since in 90 days it will be Dec. 24 - Christmas Eve. What great motivation. Phase 1 is 9 days long and is considered a detox. I am pretty much only allow fruits and veggies with the exception of a couple egg whites, low fat yogurt and some milk for proteins. Along with the eating plan, I am supposed to do 30 min of exercise 5 times each week and a 20-25 min walk after dinner. I can handle that. For exercise today I did the 30 day shred. I'm not sure if I will be doing that for all 30 days, but it is a nice, quick, efficient workout. The food has been great so far. I stocked up on all my favorite fruits and veggies. Hopefully this won't be too hard. Off to a great start. I am going to make it through this first phase and only keep moving forward. At this point I have nothing to lose and everything to gain from gaining nothing and losing a lot.
