This turned out to be a fantastic first week. After 3 years of not moving, my body was ready to work. I was one the rowing machine every morning, and it felt good each time. I have been cooking up veggies and seafood with spicy sauces for most meals, skipping all starches. We had one meal out with the family, and our Monday dessert night. I also snacked on grapes and other small fruits when I got hungry.

And the results were almost too good. I know I cannot maintain this rate… but it is an awesome start:

Starting weight: 259
Ending weight: 251

I lost 2 inches off my chest, 1.5 inches off my waist, and 2 inches off my thighs.

All in one week.

I’m very pleased. But also kinda hungry. I’m going to stick to my veggies today, because tomorrow is our weekly family night to go out to eat. It is probably a good sign that I am not overly excited for it. I love the Korean sauces I am using on my veggies right now, so despite some occasional moments of hunger, I’m not craving a diet change. Give me a couple weeks and we’ll see…
