Weightnot...DAY 1

Well fans,
     I arrived home last night from a good time out in Wichita, visiting friends, watching the Superbowl and of course over-consuming, to a package from my diet/supplement plan weightnot.com.  I was ecstatic!!!  This meant that I could start my entire program the next day (today).  So I opened the box, looked through everything, read everything and made the firm commitment that I would start February 7, 2012.  The first part of the program is called the "Jump Start" program.  For a brief overview of it, basically it is the "detox" part of the diet program.  This part lasts 7 days and starts out with a 2 day fast.  Well I use the term fast and it is, but it is a fast but taking their supplements.  The diet offers a fiber option, that is supposed to be taken in the morning and the evening and then taking their vitamins both and morning and night.  This is going to last 2 days and is supposed to not only gear your body up for the diet, but to detoxify your system from any toxins (including any chemicals from processed foods, etc.)  The diet states that "The body has incredible detoxification powers all on its own.  However, it needs proper fuel to carry out these processes, mostly in the form of proper nutrition.  This is one of the major reasons that the WeightNot program stresses eating organic food as much as possible."  It also states that for this particular part of the detoxification process that, "There will be a significant release of stored toxins in your body as a result of the following program guidelines.  As your body processes these toxins, it is possible that you may experience symptoms that reflect your body's efforts to eliminate these toxins, such as: headache, fatigue, body aches, nausea, acne, and mood changes"  THEY ARE NOT LYING!!!!  I have only been doing this for half a day and I have all these symptoms!!! (excluding acne...which I had anyway).

         So I am going to stay strong on this, even if I am a little crabby because apparently I eat way too much processed foods, drink too many chemicals and my body needs to detoxify.  I will say that I am excited because even if this is all psychological, after two days, I should be feeling better.  It states that after the 7 day jump start, I will feel an increase in energy, improvement in mood, a feeling of well-being and weight loss of 3-7 lbs or MORE....let's go for more.  Currently I am still stuck to the couch as far as exercise goes, but I keep walking my puppy dogs, icing my knee and hoping for the best...it will just take more than a week of healing...but soon....VERY SOON, I will be able to run again (and really, at the current moment, its snowing...not the best elements for running....cold I can do...ice and snow....not so much).  What I will also get back on is the Insanity program...I miss doing it and am excited once my knee is healed enough to get back on it.  That, paired with this diet, I should achieve my goals of 60 lbs.

    To keep me honest, I am going to list my daily or weekly progress here.  Today, you will know how fat I really am for my 6'2 big boned (ha, I said "boned"), muscular (YES...don't test me), ex-two sport college athlete, frame.  This morning's stats are as follows:

Weight: 278.4
Waist (in inches): 45.5
Goal: 218

That's it.
