Ok, today is day one.

Last night we had our first meeting and gathered up our food and shakes.  Ms. Dietitian suggested we get in a good last supper. 

I chose an Ultimo Burrito from Baja Fresh.  Now, I must digress for a moment.  When I called to place my order, the cashier wanted to know if I desired curbside pick-up.

Curbside pick-up?  I saw ads for this at California Pizza Kitchen the last time I had one of those barbecue chicken salads.  How lazy can Americans get.  Drive through it not enough?  I decided to park and walk the ten feet inside the store.  The kicker.  You have to call the restaurant from your cell phone from the curb so they can come outside and meet you — so for those of us without a cell phone, who knows?  But if you have to compete with McDonald’s . . . .

Anyway, had my first shake this morning.  Chose vanilla.  Not having food choice is lovely.  Many, many protein shakes may be harder.  I’m not a ’shake’ person, but it seems like I’ll have to be.

If I’m diligent and exercise as well as eat only program foods — the average weight loss is fifty pounds.  Maybe at the end, I’ll feel more like myself.

Last night’s weigh in 182.6.  Oh, and I’ve finally kicked the caffeine habit (I hope).  This is the first morning in a week of no caffeine that I haven’t woken up with a splitting headache.

Adam wants me to put up a pic for a before and after comparison.  I haven’t taken more than a few pictures of myself in the last ten years, but if you’d like to see a before, I suggest you click here.
