Day three

Well hello there faithful reader(s). I have just completed day three of this diet. I have to tell you I'm getting tired of people telling me "why you doing that, you look fine" or "this is probably a better diet for you the one your doing is crazy". Here's the background and scoop as to why I chose to do this. I weighed the most I have ever weighed after the holidays. It has nothing to do with the holiday meals or sweets. During soccer season I killed myself with fast food and no exercise. So I decide to get up every morning and workout (6am) to lose weight. Well guess what, it worked. I started watching what I eat and working out and lost a good number of pounds. Then I heard about this diet and thought what a great way to lose some extra weight but more than that, to challenge myself. I want to be disciplined enough to do this - a wise man once said - "its not the destination as much as its the journey." I have no clue who said that, I may have just made that up. It makes sense though. When is the time in my life that I could say I gave up eggs, sweet tea, potatoes, alcohol, chicken, diet coke, pork, pasta and sweets for a whole week. I did it because of the challenge not because I feel like Fatty Mcfatty (I made that name up also). Am I happy that I will clean my system out and lose some good weight, sure. Will I gain some of it back even though I'll watch what I eat, sure. My challenge to myself will be accomplished and I will love the fact that I achieved it. So thanks everyone for telling me I look like I don't need to lose any weight and now you can go jump off a cliff.
Yesterday was not too bad. Kelly whipped up a new batch of soup and I think it tastes better. I steamed a lot of broccoli for lunch and ate it with the soup. Nothing really special - that's for sure. The big challenge was the trip to Rob's last night. The drink count went as follows: Rob drank beer, Jeff drank 3 liters of water. I had to pee every 5 minutes, he did make some killer veggies for us on the grill. He was a great best friend and didn't tempt me by eating meat, just ate the veggies with me! I have to tell you I feel good today. Its cheesy but I feel like I have some more energy and am able to focus better. I'm really not kidding about that. Its kinda perplexing to me but for some reason the last two days I can concentrate better on what I'm doing. Well I guess we'll see how my banana and skim milk day goes. So far three bananas and two glasses of skim milk - good times had by all!!
