I’ll probably regret this at some point, but I will post a weekly weigh-in in this blog to keep track of any progress I make. I will weigh myself after I take my morning shower.
So, today’s weight is: 233 lbs.
For reference, I am 5′9″ and 35 years old (36 in April). I guess that weight number doesn’t really have any significance until I do a few more weeks of weigh-ins so it will be the baseline. My doctor told me (he used some kinda wheel-chart) that I should weigh about 172 lbs, so I am rather disturbed to know I am that overweight. I always knew that I was, but I never thought it was that severe. My plan is to get to 180 or below….
As a side note, I haven’t had a headache or dizzyness since I slightly increased my food consumption and began using the humus to dip. Though, some people who are on this diet have told me that they experienced similar symptoms themselves the first few days they started in Phase 1 and attribute the headaches to your body going through withdrawl now that you aren’t cramming it full of all kinds of bad shit. I like to think that is what it is as well
