Week 2, Day 1

Week 1 CONQUERED.  

We made it so far.  I have to remember that there are people out there who made it to week 2, 3, and 4 to keep myself on the shred wagon.

Sadly to say, I had a weak moment yesterday and cheated.  I know, I know.  I am holding myself accountable and repeating Day 1 of Week 2 today.  On the bright side, I only have food that I bought for this diet, so when I snacked late night, it was yogurt, figs, and a small piece of chocolate.

 Okay, I shouldn't have done that.  And I'm sorry. So as a punishment, I am doing over Day 1 of Week 7.  If I let myself go it will be easier to do again, and again, and again, and before you know it, I will be a long string from an unraveled sweater.    But I'm going to try again and shrink my stomach back to the way it was before that terrible hour.  New Beginnings!

Week 2 is different.

There's no more Meal 4 and Snack 3 is at night.  Slimming down by slimming food.  This is the self-named "Acceleration Week" and although most people don't slim down as much the second week, we will see.
As of today:

Weight: 163lbs

BMI: 25.8%

Body Fat 28.8%

I lost 8 pounds. The struggle (so far) was worth it.  My pants fit me better.  I look smaller in the mirror.  I feel healthier. Wow.

Today's meals:

Meal 1:  Cream of wheat with almond milk and half a pear.
Snack 1:  Stem of grapes
Meal 2: Cup of chicken barley soup
Meal 3: Green salad with lemon juice and carrots
30 min cardio 30 min weight training
Snack 3: Fig bar

I'm upset the author, Ian K. Smith,  came to Connecticut and I missed him!  I would love to have told him that I was on it and progressing, that he made my life easier, and listened to all the wisdom he had to share about his own personal journey.  Keep on keeping on, shredders.  Talk tomorrow.
