Day One (Diwrnod Un)

I weighed in this morning at 332 pounds. My belly measures 56in, my waistline 48in, and my neck is 18 1/2in. The numbers don’t lie.

Breakfast consisted of two poached eggs, a sausage patty, two pieces of bacon, and a slice of toasted potato bread with a teaspoon of butter. 548 calories. Two cups of coffee, no sugar. Nothing but water and unsweetened tea to drink for the rest of the day.

I had a snack of 12 Pringles for 150 calories, and I made a Hello Fresh meal for Robin and myself. Yogurt-marinated chicken with roasted carrots and cous-cous. I had four small cookies for dessert, a total of 800 calories. Just under 1500 calories for the day. My goal for losing one pound a week is 2,830 calories. I drank 48oz of water. My goal will be to get up to 64oz a day, minimum.

One thing I will not do is do this daily, I’m using the MyFitnessPal app to track my food and exercise, so I certainly don’t need to do it here. I just thought it would be interesting for you to see a snapshot of what my days should look like.

Three weeks, It takes 3 weeks to start a new habit. I’ll keep you posted how things are going.

    1. I’m currently in Milwaukee. I weighed in at 322 right before leaving I had gotten as low was 317, but I’ve been on steroids, and it makes me retain fluid like crazy.
