This was easily the most difficult day so far. We celebrated our two oldest daughters birthdays, threw a little party for them and invited some of their friends. Kara needed help getting everything ready, including baking and decorating the cake! As usual she was busy cleaning while I worked in the kitchen.
The entire day the kids would sneak in, grab some Cheetos, peanuts, candy... everything that was off limits. Normally when cooking I'll taste things just to be sure that they are turning out alright. But thanks to the support of my wife/health coach, I DIDN'T EAT ANY OF IT!!!! (It was misery!)
Suddenly the realization set in that this was the end of the line for eating most things that I enjoyed in the past. Oh yeah, we had some great times...... In fact they come with me everywhere I go, but that is changing!
As of this morning I am 279.2 lbs. I'm not sure why I plateaued so quickly only 5 days into the program. Perhaps it is because on Friday I was using so much energy working outside all day and consuming so few calories; then later my body decided to retain a few more calories when I was less active? I don't know, I'll ask my coach when she wakes up.
To everyone following this, thank you! Good luck to all who have decided to make some changes in their lives as well, report back and let us all know!!!!
