Dear sweet wife is not happy about me eating five times a day.  I’ve got to figure out a way to offset the grocery budget so she doesn’t harp on me too much.  Additionally, she made a wonderful black bean and cheese lasagna – it was out of this world.  I ate a small portion and then tried to offset the carbs by eating some nuts and chicken nuggets from my kids plate.  Probably not the best choice but at least I controlled my eating of the lasagna.  I felt like going back for seconds and thirds….;-).  Additionally, one of our thoughtful church members brought some awesome looking brownies.  I salivated while I watched the kids suck them down.  I felt like a puppy watching a bone being eaten.  I’m standing strong though!

Goals

1. Go from 210 lbs down to 165 lbs without losing muscle.
2. I am going to do my best to not lose what little muscle I have.  I will not workout during the first few weeks because I am recovering from thumb surgery and a broken toe.  I will begin in a three weeks or so.
3. Keep track of my diet on a daily basis via fitday.
4. Weigh and measure my food until I become an expert at portion control.
5. Limit my restaurant meals and eat home prepared meals as often as I can.
6. Cut grain and dairy products out of my diet and eat only natural foods – Paleo Zone.
7. Take pictures daily of my progress and post the results once I am comfortable with the way my body looks.
8. Weigh and measure myself weekly and post the results.
9. See my 6 pack again.
10. Begin crossfit training and increase my flexibility.
11. Journal on here daily about my progress and my life to some degree.
12. Post fitday results once I buy the software and figure out how to post the results.
