Not bad

Hey! I lost a pound between yesterday and today. I didn't get on my bike but I did do a 1 mile walk with weights with Leslie Sansone so I did something. I had to work. I was one of the only people working in Toronto. I brought a bunch of servings of protein. Because it was my first day, I felt hungry the whole day, even right after eating. Here is what I ate. It totaled up to around 1,300 calories. 2 eggs, 2 oz smoked salmon, 65gm turkey, large apple, 3oz chicken, 2 mozzarella sticks, some chocolate chips (yep, that's right) 3 oz steak, 1 cup vegetables. I drank a ton of water. So that worked. As the days go on, I will feel less hungry and I will be able to add more veg, fruit and dairy. On the Lean for Life plan, the first 2-3 days (until you are in mild ketosis) are supposed to be lean protein. The apple, vegetables and chocolate chips did not fit the bill, but it was a start. I also took vitamins. I find the Swiss 80s are the best. They are a bit hard to swallow but that is one of the things I find that work for me. So a summary of what works for me is as follows:

• lean protein
• fruits and vegetables
• low fat dairy
• no simple carbs
• exercise
• Swiss 80 vitamins

I am on day two of low carb and so far, I am not as hungry as I was yesterday.
