Day 3

Been reading through the book "Choose More, Lose More for Life" by Chris Powell and comparing it to the "Paleo Solution" book I have and figuring out this whole carb cycling method.  From my experience I can tell you that carbs are my enemy straight up and without a doubt.  They hate me and I love them. lol.

I have been without soda for over a month now and I'd have to check the bank statements, but I'm almost positive it has been over a month since I hit a fast food joint. 

Immediate challenges facing me now are: 

• Getting a food menu for 30 days put together and that food purchased
• My wife, bless her heart, who weighs maybe 100lbs likes some junk food in the house.  I have to figure out a way that she can have and I can have the will power to not cheat.
• Full medical.  Have an appointment on Friday for a full medical check up and stress test.  I am planning on joining CrossFit Wylie TX. 
• I am a competitive BBQ cook so I am also reviewing my rubs and sauces to try and make them healthier. 

Things I've already started: 

• 1 hour walks at lunch - with an average of around 3.5 miles walked (going on week 4 now)
• Get up and stretch on my work breaks for 15 minutes.  I am totally not flexible. 
• Researching exercises to help with back pain.
• A schedule:  I won't be doing 4+ hours a day but more around an hour in the morning doing Cross Fit and then an hour at lunch of walking then I think evening family walks.  My concern is I don't want to loose the 100lbs so fast that my skin can't adapt and shrink with me.  

Things to accomplish today: 

• Setup a Facebook Blog, might be easier for me to share my experiences and hold myself accountable out there. 
• Finish my 30 Menu
• Order more Mulch-Vitamins (I take Opti-Men)   

 More to come later.
