Note on picture: Here is a picture of my 1/2 grapefruit that I had this morning. It tasted sour the first few mornings. But this morning, it tasted less sour. I think my taste buds are adjusting to the taste of grapefruit.

I Lost Two Pounds

Well, in the first two days of this new diet of mine, I've reclaimed the two pounds that I lost four or five weeks ago. Well, maybe not reclaimed them, maybe re-lost them would be a better word.

To be honest, I was quite shocked when I stepped on my cheap temperamental scale this morning and it said, "No if's, and's, and but's about this...you've lost two pounds."

I mean...my best guess for the end of the first week was that I'd lose two pounds total.

But...not two pounds in the first two days.

I figure this is going to have to slow down eventually. I still have a good three or four days of working out before Monday rolls around. At this rate, I could lose a third pound by Monday.

How strange would that be?

What's more I can totally tell the difference in this loss. My stomach is flatter...

I was having an epiphany at the gym. So, let me get this straight...no sugar, no white flour, no extra fats except good fats, lots of water, lots of vegetables...and the weight is sliding off ...

Why isn't everyone doing the body builder's diet? I suppose this is similar to the Atkin's diet and is hard to maintain this type of eating style.

But this sure says a lot about the positive impact that natural healthy foods can have on your body.

I actually have a lot more wonderful things so say about this diet, but I should probably save it for another post. I should probably see how I feel about it after I've been on it for three weeks. We'll see if I'm sick of vegetables then.

Hope you're all having a good week.
