Day 27 - Weight
Well day 27 and I am at 205 lbs. A little over 11 lbs lost so far. I am however a little behind schedule. I am shooting for 1/2 per day average. I should have lost about 13 pounds by now. However, I have cheated way too often and it is catching up with me. But, I have renewed my vows to more exercise and am still pushing myself to lose 20 pounds by valentines. Well as you can tell I have went to only updating once or twice a week. Keeping up all multiple daily posts was killing me. I am still on the diet and working away pound by pound. If you are interested in my eating habits take a look at previous posts. Not much has changed.

Day 17 - Breakfast
Didn't eat breakfast today. I ate a late lunch but I can't remember what I had. I am posting this a few days later. The cheating this weekend has really hurt. I knew I shouldn't have but I did. Now I have to catch up and work extra hard for the next week or so.

Day 15 - Weight
208 lbs
Lost 8.2 pounds in 15 days. I have averaged .55 lbs per day.
That is right on track. I am shooting to average 1/2 pound per day until Valentines. That should be around 22 pounds total.
My goal is 20 pounds so that gives me some wiggle room.

Day 2 - Cheats
Anything that is off my menu I will consider cheating. I will post cheats here as well. It's painful, but I will do it. lol
1 Starbucks Vivanno
http://www.starbucks.com/aboutus/pressdesc.asp?id=881
• one whole banana,
• a proprietary whey protein and fiber powder,
• 2% milk,
• and ice
Not as bad for you as a Latte but it does have milk in it. Since dairy products are not on my menu I have to list this as a cheat.

Day 1 - Supper
Brown Rice with stir fry vegatables
Black Eyed Peas
1 Cup Green tea sweetened with honey
Vegatables were a frozen mix you can buy at the store. I used Pam (Olive Oil) spray to cook them with.
Black Eyed Peas were cooked from raw (Not the canned type).
I used the salt, pepper, and garlic powder mix for seasoning on both dishes. I am doing low sodium so I am using salt sparingly.
I am drinking water unless I mention something different

Day 1
Ok, here we go. This is day number one and my goal is to lose at least 20 pounds by valentines. I am going to blog each day. What I eat, my exercise, my weight, and maybe even a facial photo.
Day 1 - About the Diet
The diet that I am going on is based on the book Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman.
If you want more info about this you can read the book or visit his website:
Day 1 - About my Health
I am a 38 year old male. I am 5' 11" tall and I weigh 216.2 pounds as I start this diet.
A couple years ago I lost 49 pounds using this same plan from Dr. Fuhrman. I have found out in the last year that I have thyroid problems and I started taking Synthroid.
When I started taking the medication I began to gain some weight back. I had gotten down to 198 pounds before, and over the last year I have watched my weight go up slowly. My Thyroid doctor was not much help with this problem so I turned back to Dr. Fuhrman's book and eating plan to try and get control of my weight again.
My goal is to get back down to around 195 lbs. This means I have to loose around 20 pounds.
When I was on Dr. Fuhrman's plan before I charted every day. So, I knew by looking back at those charts that I averaged around 1/2 pound per day.
So I set my target date as Valentines 2009. That gives me around 45 days to loose my 20 pounds.
I am blogging this as a way to chart my progress, and maybe help someone else who is having trouble loosing weight. So, Join me over the next 45 days and give me some support along the way. I know I will need it.
