I have been loosely following the 17 day diet since Monday and I was pretty pleased with the results of my weigh in this week. When I say loosely following this diet I don't mean that I am cheating on the eating portion of it, there are just some things in the book that I don't do, like drinking hot lemon water every morning...gag!
I started this diet on Monday and when I weighed in this morning I have lost 3.6 pounds!!! That brings my total weight loss to 10.4# since I started dieting on January 6th. That doesn't really sound like that much to me until I put it into perspective. My goal was to lose 1-2# per week and I have been dieting now for a little over 8 weeks. 10.4# divided by 2 months is 5.2# average per month and an average of 1.3# per week, so I met my goal. I'm sure it would have been better if I had been more serious about dieting in the beginning, at least I'm headed down the right path now, the last two weeks I had a gain, not substantial, but still a gain, so I had to make up for that. I like the lower carb diets because the hunger goes away when I eat higher protein and that is a great bonus.
I still did not hit the gym as often as I wanted to this week, just went once. I feel really tired and dragged out this week, I think it is detoxing from all the carbs and crap food. If I remember correctly from the last time I did this diet I will start feeling more energy at a week or so out, so hopefully I can get the gym more next week.
Nothing too exciting on the horizon next week, just my annual physical. It will be interesting to see what my weight is this year and then next year at this time when I go in. I am excited for this change to happen.
Until next week.
