These last three days have been hard. I've not been 100% compliant with the radical plan (who is?), but it appears I'm seeing immediate results anyways. I'm going to try to be all-positive in this post.
I stepped on the scale and showed, since Tuesday of last week, a 5 lbs. weight loss. How did this happen? Well, I've been drinking a LOT of water. Yesterday's tally was pretty low on the water, but overall, I've been taking in about 64 oz. per day (on the two days preceding yesterday, it was closer to 90 oz.). It's serving to flush out my system, which is probably a great thing.
And of course, I've been adhering to this "5-Day Miracle Diet" (full disclosure: not 5 days, not a miracle!) as best I can. I'm not feeling as weak as I was on Friday. I'm even planning on going out to wash my new car today... oh, have I not mentioned the new MINI Cooper S I purchased in December? Washing it allows me to continue with my obsession over it PLUS it's great exercise for me.
What do I need to work on? Weekends, and going out. Yesterday, I had planned to attend a MINI-club detailing clinic. It's pretty-much an all-day event... and it's STOCKED with food. Usually there are Krispey Kremes, cookies, chocolate cake, pizza, sushi, sodas, cheesecake available for the taking. I didn't go yesterday for two reasons: (1) I wasn't feeling very well. I'm still trying to get rid of a cough I have leftover from a flu several weeks ago, and (2) I was worried about getting the proper snacks and lunch in at the right times.
I'll work it out, though. This is all really, really new to me. I don't remember being on a diet plan that contained foods that were so different from what I've been used to eating for my whole life. But I can deal with it.
