It's been one month and one day since I hit rock bottom at 356 pounds.
I stepped on the scale today..323 pounds.
33 pounds gone!
It wasn't easy...but it wasn't difficult either.
Mostly, it was discipline.
I ate 1200 calories per day on average (high: 2100 calories, low: 420 calories).
I didn't lift weights at all.
I walked 40+ minutes per day for 27 of the 30 days. Four times I walked 90 minutes. I averaged about 2 mph.
I had exactly 3 "cheat meals" in a month.
That 2100 calorie day came on the one day when I accidently skipped my phen.
I had 3 days where the Phen wore off early and I was hungry at night.
My diet was a strict 30% Fat, 30% Protein 40% Carb for three of those weeks. I tried no-carbing (not "low-carbing") for a week 45% Fat, 55% Protein.
I drank 100+ ounces of water on 25 of those days.
I had at least 20 grams of fiber on 20 of those days.
I went the first week without caffeine.
I had one and a half tollhouse cookies during the month...that was my only sweets for the entire month. I ate them to make my daughter the baker happy. Priorities, folks!
I'd like to lose 33 pounds in the upcoming month....realistically, 25 pounds seems "do-able".
I experienced massive "system failure" in the bedroom department for the first three weeks on Phen. Thankfully, "all systems are go" now. :)
I've lost 4 inches on my beer gut and 3 inches on my waist.
I'm a very pleased guy today.
