Day 1...OMG!!!

Well, I survived day one.  I weighed in this morning...242.4 pounds.  Holy hell...I just put that out there for the world to see.  I don't feel like I weigh that much, and I am in pretty good shape for a chubby CrossFitter, but I know with a good 40 pounds off this "athletic", "big boned", "beefy", "fluffy" frame, I can do so much more in my workouts and my insides will be happier and healthier too.  

I have to say, the food wasn't so bad.  I can definitely see that I don't have enough food for the week AND I clearly love fruits way more than vegetables.  I'll need to work on that.  I whipped up an interesting dinner, healthier than the one I had last night, but I'm craving some Diet Coke in a serious way.  Lemons are on the next grocery list...spice up that water a bit and give it some flavor.

I have lunch packed for tomorrow and I'm ready for another day.  I have to say, once I get some menu options in the books (I'm keeping a food journal to help save time when prepping 4 brick meals and 2 brick snacks), I think I'll be happier with this detox.  Tomorrow I'm wearing my new "Got Grit?" shirt that the Harris family gave me.  I'm wearing it because for me, this detox is going to take some GRIT on my part. Just because it gets hard and/or I feel tempted, I'm not going to let that steer me in the wrong direction. Plowing through until I finish day 21 is my goal and I will get there.  What I plan on doing for day 22, that's another story.

Hopefully tonight I'll close my eyes and dream of French fries and chips and queso and I'll chase them down with a big, Sonic Route 44 Diet Coke...a sweet dream for sure!!!  Come on day 21!!

My dinner last night was McDonald's which I had AFTER I ate a Dairy Queen Mint Oreo Blizzard (obviously shoving in all the forbidden foods before D-Day...Detox Day).  Tonight I made a dinner with lots of green stuff.  It was good, but I wasn't "Lovin' it".
