Clean Slate
Im am on day 5 of my new 21 day protocol. I haven’t done a weigh in because I did a huge load like you’re supposed to the first three days. I hadn’t done that before. I have to say that it has made a huge difference in my hunger, which has been zero. I am going to do some things the same and some things different on this round.
First, I am going to go by more of a caloric scale than the diet that was recommended 50 years ago. I still will keep my intake to 500 cals a day. But I’m definitely adding some new things like a string cheese, more turkey and lean lunch meats or sugar free something. I am not going to let this consume me as much as the last round.
Second, I think that I have a better grip on what to watch out for on this now. For instance, I am going to work out more this time. I am also going to get more sleep. I think sleep, or the lack of it is so huge on this diet. Also, that this is only 21 days is going to be a much less mental challenge for me.
I can’t wait to lose another 10 pounds. At my current weight 10 pounds is going to be awesome! Weigh in Friday; I let you know how it goes this week!

Back In the Saddle
So It’s been a while since I’ve posted to my blog. I just have been super busy with my kids spring break and then both my brothers visiting on their spring breaks.
Let me catch you up. I ended the 42 day a week early because of spring break. I knew that going to Disney land and being in San Diego for a week was going to be next to impossible to not have beer or 50. Plus we put on our usual Iron Chef challenge which requires me to taste everything in sight.
I asked my doctor if ending the week early was ok. (no problem) I had hit my goal weight which was 35 pounds down.
So its been 6 weeks since then and I only put back on 2 pounds which is the norm for the protocol. And I am now starting a new 21 day round to really get fit!
I threw out most of my old clothes and went and bought all new shorts and stuff for the summer! Nice to be at a size where they have cool clothes. The selection for big man shorts is really limited.
