First week

Well today was an ok day. Work was great, my weigh in for my first week was disappointing. I stepped on the scale and I was half a pound heavier than when I weighed on day four. HOWEVER! I have still lost approximately 8 pounds my first week so I am super happy about that. I can't be upset with a loss. But stepping on the scale today, and seeing 307.0 instead of 306.8 was disappointing. I am now kind of regretting weighing myself on day four, haha. That's what I get for having no patience whatsoever!
I am finding out some interesting things about the way the body works and why this program is successful. And it's more and more intriguing the more I find out. For example, when you start this program you are actually discouraged from doing exercise for the first three weeks. Crazy right! Especially once you start to experience all this new found energy and you feel like you should go out and run a marathon! Well the reason you are not supposed to exercise at first, and only light activity after is because you're only consuming 800-1000 calories and if you are burning up those calories, by hardcore exercise, your body will go into starvation mode and STORE fat, instead of burn it! How crazy is that! I love finding these things out about how my body works, and it could explain the slight standstill in my own weightless over the last few days, as I did start taking my son out for short walks. Now whether that's the reason or not, I dunno, but it's the reason I'm using, because I've been following this change in diet like the freakin' bible, so I'm fairly confident it is not the food part. Who knew exercise could prevent you from losing weight!
So, that is where I am at today. I have decided I don't really need to post every single day, so I will post when I have a significant day (good or bad) and with my weekly weigh in's.  And I'll try to have a new picture each month,  to show progress! Thanks for all your love and support!
