Day One Recap

I started a few days later than everyone else as I knew I’d cheat during Superbowl. And boy did I cheat - pizza, wings, chocolate, stouts and IPAs… well, you get the point.

Here is what I consumed for Day 1 (Monday):

Breakfast:

Skipped (too busy with work and before I knew it, lunch had arrived)

Lunch:

Albacore Tuna (6 oz.)
Black Beans garnished with cheddar cheese (8 oz.)
Spicy V8 Juice (6 oz.)

Dinner:

Hamburger Patty (16 oz.)
Cabbage Soup (2 bowls)
Salad w/ Vinagerette

Other:

Coffee (3/4 pot)
Water (80 oz.)
Oolong Tea (1 cup)
Peanuts (handful)

Excercise:

I walked with Jodi (my dog) for about 55 minutes or approximately 3 miles. It was a good workout as part of the walk was uphill and Jodi was pulling me pretty hard.

The only real craving I had was for buttermilk biscuits which occurred towards dinner time. Other than that, no problems on day one adjusting to the new diet. However, I expect that to change around days 3 and 4 as my body begins to realize that I am starving it of sugars and starches.

As I weighed myself the 2nd day (today), I weighed in at 240 lbs. Therefore I have dropped 1 lb. the first day.
