I haven't lost any weight. And I was careful about what I ate. I also exercised. So I don't understand. I'll give it a few more days before I decide to liposuction have my body with the vacuum cleaner.

I lost one pound. I'm happy about that. I'm moving in the right direction now. And I bought healthy snakes like fresh veggies and fruit. I also got some yogurts and sugar free chocolate. I'm still doing my PT exercises and moving around the house. I hope I do my yoga today.

Oh man, did I struggle last week but injust kept trying to put one foot on front of the other, not judge myself for bad decisions and try a make a better follow up decision, and this morning I'm down two pounds from what I gained. Going to keep on with my effort this week and continue to acknowledge that any progress, even small, is progress.

The one thing I'm trying to conquer is cutting out the snack before I go to bed. I have a hard time eating dinner early then not going to bed for 4 or 5 more hours and then sleeping through the night on an empty stomach. So I know this will be a mental challenge and likely have some feelings of withdrawal. But I have some yummy chamomile tea that I'm planning on having before bed every night, hoping that will make me feel full.

I had a couple sodas, a package of peanut butter and crackers, and a can of soup today. 730 calories total. I’m not very hungry. I’m not sure what else I’ll be eating.

I'm not sure how I'm doing today. I'm afraid to get on the scale. Lately the numbers have been depressing. Maybe I'll just weigh myself once a week. I snacked mostly yesterday. I ate apples, carrots, avocado, sugar free chocolate, chicken broth, chicken soup, more apples and a sandwich.

I had a cherry Vanilla Coke, and 2 pieces of Eggo French toast for breakfast. Lunch was a piece of take and bake bread and an Amy’s cheese enchilada TV dinner. Dinner was another piece of bread and a can of Progresso chicken noodle soup. 1,240 calories total.

My weight is 178.4. My doctor wants me to weigh myself 3 times a week for the next 6 weeks. He put me on Wellbutrin yesterday for depression and you can lose a lot of weight with that.

I ended up weighing myself yesterday afternoon. I gained a pound. I guess I'm not doing well with my eating. Maybe too many calories. I've been snacking on fruit, veggies, yogurt and cereal. I don't think I'm drinking enough water. I'm not really sure what the problem is. Maybe I should try low carb.

Did the low carb thing and lost 3 pounds. I'm really happy about that. I didn't exercise today. I was too tired.

I'm cooking some low carb meals today. So far all I've had is an Atkins shake. I'll have meatloaf for lunch. Today I did my exercises.

I lost 2 more pounds. So 5 pounds since I started low carb. I'm keeping my carbs under 100. Today I've done my exercises. And I'm cooking another low carb meal.

One mile warmup jog. One mile track sprint @ 5:58. Three mile road run. I was sore and dragging so my buddy taps me on the shoulder and says, "Spartan, what is your profession?" AOOOO AOOOO AOOOO!



Two sets of 30 pushups. 200 suburi with heavy steel katana.

And the workout music helps.

I stepped on the scale this morning and I was up 3 pounds. I think it's water weight. My calories and carbs were low yesterday. But my sodium intake was high. I plan to drink plenty of fluids today. Hopefully I'll lost those 3 pounds quickly. Up and down, up and down... such a yo yo. It's hard dieting while trying to quit vaping.
