Week’s recap and takeaways

• Chocolate Chip Cookies are fucking delicious.
• Conversely, Cultured Cottage Cheese is disgusting (tastes exactly like vomit).
• Not logging meals in the blog wastes a lot of time when trying to recall
• Cravings are still harder immediately after binge day.

Standing in front of the mirror, my gut is noticeably smaller. It’s still a bit flabby when I’m sitting down however. Over all, I feel like I’ve lost a little bit of my gut, but I’m still not satisfied with the progress I’ve made. At this rate it seems like it’s going to take more than a month to get my gut down to the size I want it.

week 3

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.

• 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.
