Day 3 - March 3





Day 3: 200 lbs.

3 days. 3 pounds. So far so good.

Calories for the day: 2275

(Yikes! A little too much - I had a burger for lunch...)

I meet with Leah tomorrow at Sol Gym for my first real workout - ugh! I'm sure she'll beat that hamburger out of me.

Today I went hiking on Cowles Mountain here in San Diego. Great morning workout!

I met with a photographer today - Phil - he's great! One of the things I wanted to do was a cool photo shoot when this project is all done. So... I've heard people say - if you are undertaking a project like mine - one thing to maybe do is book a photographer for a certain target date so you can't back out of doing the workouts and losing the weight. So - I did.

Tuesday - March 31. I better look damn sexy. And from the looks of todays photo - I have along way to go.

Be patient grasshopper. One pound at a time.

Day 2 - Monday March 2, 2009





That's not fair! The camera adds 10 pounds!



Jim replys: "How many cameras are on you?"



I think it was the angle of the camera - yikes!



Anyways - today was my first workout with my new trainer - Leah. I wanna say I like her - but I also know she will be the source of pain - so - we probably won't be bests friends (yet...).



Oh - and yeah - this is going to be a documentary. That's Gary - one of the camera crew.



Today I woke up at 6am (that's my goal - ugh!) and went for a little jog - run - hill work for about 45 minutes. Then it was off to McDonald's for my first meal of the day.


The Breakfast Burrito has 300 calories - not bad... and a Low Fat Milk which has 100 calories. $2.14 later and it's time to get ready for work.



On the way to work I stopped at McD's again to get some tide-me-over food until I see Leah for my first beat-down.



Fruit n' Yogurt Parfait: $1.00 and 130 calories.


Apple Dippers (yes - I ate the caramel): $1.19 and 35 calories (oops.. Caramel sauce 70 calories)



After I met Leah at Sol Gym in Hillcrest - San Diego (Thanks Ed!) I got some lunch:



2 Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken Snack Wraps (I really like these little guys!): $1.59 and only 260 calories each. Another Low Fat Milk: 100 calories and $0.99.



For Dinner (I'm obsessed now...) I ate 2 more Grilled Chicken Snack Wraps: $1.59 and 260 calories each (again!).



Apple Dippers (again) for a snack at work (had to work late): $1.19 and 35 calories (+ 70 for caramel sauce - I can't stop!).



(This is bad...) Apple Dippers (AGAIN!!) on the way home from work. Just shoot it in my arm already!



Total for the day: $14.66 and 1985 calories.



My goal is to stay under 2000 calories for each day and hopefully keep it under $15.



Today is what I expect each day to be like. But then again... it's only Day 2.



See you tomorrow!





Day 1 - Sunday March 1, 2009

This is my BEFORE photo (ugh!)




And this is my AFTER photo (I hope!)



Today is day one. March 1, 2009.
I weighed myself this morning - yikes! - here it comes: 203 lbs.
It is what it is.
I know your body can only do what it can do in 30 days - but I am committed to making a change...for once (deep breath in through your nose - hold it... exhale slowly...).
Now let's make some magic people!
