Still going


Had prime rib at work Thursday as it was a free amazing dinner. I'm not passing up limited good holiday food and am still losing weight.

Packer Game!


Had an amazing time in Green Bay! Ate well on the way down there. Would probably have eaten poorly in Green Bay, but all of the good resurants were too busy. Ate a tuna sub at Subway. Drank plenty of beer. It was crazy how you can just walk around with beer on the sidewalks. Nut roll on the way back. One slice of Pizza this afternoon as I felt like I should eat it. Mind you, I usually eat like half a pizza. Will not weigh myself today. Plan to eat well for the rest of the day.

Green Bay tomorrow!

I weight 200 lbs as of yesterday! Pretty amazing feat! Tomorrow I will be driving with a friend to Green Bay for the Monday night Packer Game. So pumped! Am sure to be eating/drinking a little unhealthy. Oh well, can't pass this up!

Good Food


Doesn't this look good?
1 egg scrambled, no milk
Broccoli, red bell pepper, spinach
Garlic, ground pepper, crushed red pepper

Tasted awesome and I added no salt! I feel more sensitive to taste. Feel good about life.

OK go


Today is less motivating as I didn't lose any weight. The first 4 days had drastic weight loss. It was probably all of the loss of salt that was retaining fluid in my body. I felt great at work and really didn't feel hungry or have cravings to eat unhealthy foods. Usually I pig out on my free meal and deserts, but yesterday I didn't have any cravings to give in.
The cramp in my foot may be a small sprain from when I went running the other day. I haven't been able to run due to the cold weather and SNOW!
I obtained tickets to the Monday night Packer game. It is a six hour drive to Green Bay, but this only happens a few times in a life time...if you don't have season tickets or buy tickets off ebay.
I plan to bring easy fruit and veggies to snack on in the car. I will to go out to eat with a friend at some point.

Still going strong


Weigh about 203 lbs this morning. I have a weird cramp in my foot that started last night. No bananas today. I'm starting to see how inconvenient this diet is. My wife and I went Christmas shopping and she wanted to go out to eat. I didn't want to and I was crabby. Possibly because of my diet or because I wasn't taking my pill. We settled on "The Good Earth," which is a healthy restaurant. The salt intake was my concern. I had veggies in a sauce that had sodium, but a lot of garlic as well. It was hard for me to tell if it was a lot of salt or just garlic and spices that gave it flavor. It tasted awesome though.
Goes to show how unhealthy America is. You can't just go out and find a super healthy good meal. Everything has salt in it.
I got radishes the other day and dip them in lemon or lime juice. My 2 year old eats them as well.
No exercise yesterday or today as it is very cold outside. It snowed last night.
I had an egg for breakfast with grapes and coffee. Radishes for a snack. Will have salmon for lunch. Not sure what will happen for dinner as I will be at work. We eat for free at work, which is so handy and nice that I don't have to pay for a meal. I may eat some veggies or salad that they have. I'll bring plenty of fruit along as well.
