Day 7: Tuesday, January 7th, 2011

I LOVE FOOD!  Yeah today for dinner was my allowed once a week cheat meal.  Although still healthy it was far better than a shake!  I had a steak with baked potato and side garden salad.  Amazing tasting and I took my time eating it.  The site was right though my appetite has shrunk and although I ate it all the last part was for taste.  Also no cravings today at all.  The thought of having the dinner was sounding good but not craving.  So that is good.  We will see tomorrow how that goes after get a taste of food.  Will I be okay, or will it be like crack and you can't break the addiction only put into remission for a while.

The other thing that was new was the workout today!  Holy crap that was harder than it is read.  I had to do each exercise 10 reps at a time and 7 cycles of the workout.  So each workout consisted starting with:

Jumping Split Squat
Hand Walkout - from toes
Single Leg Deadlift - With twist and lateral arm
Pushup - Torso rotation
Jumping Jacks
Side Lunge Overhand Reach
Pike Pushup
Squat Thrust - Jump and Reach

Now I went down the line doing each set for a total of 10 reps per exercise with no rest between exercises.  Then took 2-3 minutes to start next cycle.  That hurt by the time I got to the Pike Pushup.  Speaking of that I was supposed to do Handstand Pushup.... ummm yeah ... a little harder than it sounds.  Stand on your head and then lift all your weight.  Go ahead and see how it is.

So I am officially one week down and three more primary weeks to go.  I am proud of what I have done and to all the haters out there just suck it up because you can't do it.

Last things, same food except replace my regular dinner with the cheat meal.  I woke up at 173 pounds this morning, meaning I have lost 7 pounds in six days.  I think that will change due to dinner.  Here are my pics:
