| Ok. So here I go again. This time, it’s personal! | |
| Anyway, I was doing my weekly weigh in at the gym at work and the manager there says maybe I should try the Fat Smash Diet. She says a number of the guys there at the gym have been trying it and they’ve all reported losing 10 pounds in the first couple of weeks. | |
| Yesterday, I went out and got the book and read it. Today I finished it. (It’s a very quick read – lots of dead space and 75 recipes. I’m jazzed so I got Hil to go out an buy the first weeks worth of food for me to try it. | |
| The diet seems reasonable – 4 meals and 3 snacks each day. The hard part is the size of each is miniscule. But I’ll try it for the required 3 weeks and see how it goes. If I can manage to lose the 12 pounds (promised), then maybe I’ll stick it out and go for a 2nd 3 week rotation. At least the recipes sound more interesting than the other diets Hil and I have been trying for the last couple of years. My starting weight is 332… So, I’ve got a lllooonnnggg way to go to reach my ideal weight 185 pounds. I’ll have to lose half of me!! To tell the truth, I’ll be happy if I can get down to 250 – that would be 80 pounds lost. If I could do that in one year, that would be about 1.5 pounds per week – which logically sounds do-able. (Isn’t it funny how what sounds “doable” is really a tremendous achievement – if I can do it!) | |
| Of course, that’s putting the horse before the cart (as usual)… The first thing is seeing how much I can drop this first 3 weeks. | |
| Yesterday, Hil and I went for a 45 min walk – I estimate a little over 2 miles. Today, I went for a hour jog. Slow, but I estimate 3.5 miles. | |
| That’s it for now. I’ll try to update this more regularly as the program in only for 3 wks. | |
| To anyone reading this, keep me in your good thoughts (or prayers). | |
