Weekly Weigh In 1: Down 10.3 lbs in 10 Days/This Weeks Menu

There is no doubt that 10.3 lbs in 10 days is a pretty fast and aggressive weigh loss amount for someone who is 181 lbs. This is especially true since I am not taking any supplements. However, I wouldn’t have it any other way. If I am going to put in the effort I want to get out as much as possible. In order for that to happen, I can’t cheat. Many people justify an extra apple here or just a couple bites of mashed potatoes there because they think they have the room. There is just no reason for this. This just sets up your mindset to slowly creep back into your old habits. If you are going to do a nutrition plan, you need to really do it. Keep this in mind: One extra Hershey Kiss per day is only 50 calories. If you do this every day, that equals an extra 5 lbs.  

Because writing down my diet everyday can be tedious, here is the last 3 days. It is a pretty good indication of what I am doing every day. As I get lower and lower in weight, I expect my progress to slow down. Therefore I will adjust nutrition and exercise as I go and as needed.
