So, in an attempt to fit my pants better, I’ve started a new diet routine consisting of (my interpretation of) the Slowcarb Diet from The 4 Hour Body.
I’ve cut out all sodas during the week (save binge day) and am drinking a lot more water. My starting weight is somewhere in the range of 141 – 144Lbs. My goal is to lose my nascent spare tire, which translates into about 10Lbs. (I’ll consider it done if I can draw my fingers from below my bellybutton to my chest without catching flab). I’m also doing a few minutes of cold exposure before bed and have resolved to exercise at least once a week.

First week recap and thoughts:
- This Omron scale sucks.
- I don’t feel drastically different.
- I don’t weigh drastically different.
- I don’t really look drastically different.
- Cravings are most difficult immediately after binge day.
