I weighed in at 342.8 lbs. this morning (see photo to the left). This means that I’m down 1.1 lbs. since yesterday, and 0.6 lbs. since I started this diet six days ago. Not ideal, but moving in the right direction!
Here’s how I did today!
Rule #1: I can only eat for 8 hours a day maximum. This means that I will be fasting for a minimum of 16 hours each day.
I started eating just after 2 pm this afternoon and finished eating about 7:30 pm, so that’s about 5 1/2 hours, well below 8 hours!
To start off today’s eating I had a nice big bowl of “Boo Berry Cereal” (see photo to the right). I got this initially for the kids, but who’s to say that daddy can’t have some as well?
My wife made some “Wings” in the air fryer for the kids, so I had a couple as well (see photo to the left). The blue cheese dressing that I picked up at Walmart yesterday was a great sauce for them.
I was still hungry after the wings, so I decided to have a “Hamburger & Fries” (see photo to the right). There is a lot in the photo, but maybe you can see the waffle fries, the ice cream cup, the donut, and the honey mustard sauce. Yum!
A healthy touch of “Pineapple” made a great dessert for my noon time meal (see photo to the left). The kids and wife liked it as well!
Let’s move onto my evening meal shall we? Starting off with a bit of crunch I finished off the bag of “Bugles” (see photo to the right). I like them, but the kids haven’t been raving about them, so I don’t think that I will be buying another bag of them.
Let’s start off next with an appetizer shall we? “Wontons” were the appetizer of choice, and the honey mustard sauce made a great addition (see photo to the left).
For my main meal this evening I had some tuna and mashed potatoes (see photo to the right). Some goat cheese crumbles, lite mayo, and a tab of butter made a great addition.
For dessert I got into the “Chocolates” (see photo to the left). I love these things, and tend to eat too many, so I’m going to have to learn how to curb these little delights in the future…
Rule #2: During the 16 hours I am fasting I am allowed zero calorie beverages like tea and coffee with some creamer. I am also allowed zero calorie sodas and water of course.
I had a cup of coffee with creamer this morning and another one before I went to bed this evening. I’m going to have to add some tea into the mix as well…
Rule #3: Each day I will have my daily vitamins.
Daily vitamins today? Righto!
Rule #4: I will drink at least 3 cups of water each day.
I drank 3+ cups of water throughout the day today.
Rule #5: I will exercise for 30 minutes each day, alternating between: cardio, weights, and abs workouts.
This evening I had an ab workout while I watched television, but I don’t think this current exercise plan is working for me. I need to tweak it a bit and add cardio each day, with weights one day and abs the other day I think…
