Week 1 – Days 5, 6 & 7

I have been sticking to the diet. I found a few burgers that seem more tolerable than others. Boca seems like a good compromise at 100 calories per serving and providing 14 grams of protein. I have been eating these with really hot chili peppers, ground pepper and ground cumin. Ever Wonder why chili peppers are hot? Talk of the Nation on NPR had a show on this very topic.

I don’t feel hungry – I am even able to reduce the calories consumed everyday without feeling hungry, as long as I am eating something every 3 to 4 hours.

On Friday, I worked out under the guidance of my able trainer.

On Saturday, I went for a 3.5 mile walk in Point Defiance Park with my uncle, aunt and my wife. Since the moon was at it closest to the earth in about 15 years, the high tides were really high. It was a really cold day but the waves crashing into the sea wall were so beautiful to see that we forgot how cold it was.

On Sunday, I got on the treadmill for an hour and watched the Seahawks win. (Finally!) Daler’s music helps me going at a good pace.

So things are going well. 2 more days and I can start adding some vegetables back – can’t wait to do that :)

  1. Hey!

    Great going! I am impressed. You need to update how much you have lost.

    I have been doing Yoga or working out on the elliptical bike but dont think have lost much. It sure makes me feels fresh and light. So I guess thats the ultimate goal!

    Enjoy the weekend and talk to you soon,

    Love

  3. Yoga is great as it is typically something that people can keep as a permanent habit. Also, I have heard that as you do more and more yoga, you will automatically start disliking food that's not good for your body. Keep it up!
