Beginning of week 3- 268.8lbs.

I was down 3.2lbs. this week. Not bad. Still healthy but a little more than the average 1-2lbs. per week. I'll take it. I have to keep reminding myself that there are no quick fixes here..that this is going to take time and plenty of it. The human body is the most efficient and adaptive machine in the known universe. You do something enough times, it will do whatever you want as quickly and efficiently as possible. My body has mastered storing fat, it has perfected it over the course of 30 some-odd years. So I imagine it will take more than two weeks to teach it how to burn fat instead.

I was pretty proud of myself for Saturday night..went to the movies, just had water and maybe a handful of popcorn. Later went to Applebee's and while I had two beers I actually ate a spinach salad with grilled shrimp- and it was damned good. I'm going to order that again sometime! In any case...good stuff.
