3 days - 3Lbs.

Good morning! It is Monday and I am excited about the week to come. I have been reading "The 4 Hour Body" and started putting in to practice what I have read. Beginning Thursday last week my attempts have been to follow the plan.

This is the fifth morning, it is 1:25 a.m. and I know I am up for the day, so I am going to go make myself some eggs and broccoli, red pepper and onions for breakfast. I will be eating it before 2 a.m. Yep, it is tasty, but not pretty, so I did not take a picture. Tim Ferriss suggests in his book, that keeping a photo log of everything ingested will help a person stay focused. The colors on my plate this morning are beautiful, but messy -- sort of like my life.
 
Sunday morning at 2 a.m. I was eating steak and eggs and sliced tomatoes. At 11 a.m. my wonderful grandson made me three scrambled eggs and at 4:30pm I had half a roasted chicken. That was the total of my food yesterday. I woke up today asking myself "Where are the vegetables?"

Before sitting down to eat the scrambled eggs Drew made me yesterday I borrowed my daughter's scale and the weight was three pounds lower than where I began on Thursday morning. Nothing about my trial of this plan has gone according to the way it is outlined so I may have to extend the trial another week. I still have not gotten my blood work done (but I have screwed up the eating "30 grams of protein in the first 30 minutes" part of two of my five days.)

This blog, for the next couple of weeks, will probably read more like my diary. It is ok you can read it, just don't expect too much from me. My "truths" might have nothing to do with yours, but then again how will you know unless you read it?

I do not know why I woke up this morning thinking about Abraham's children and family relations and how hate and mistrust are taught. Is it wrong for a parent to teach her child to be cautious when dealing with the children of parents that she has known to be "sketchy"? Perhaps, when raising our children, we can only teach them the principles of life as we see them on any given day.  We certainly can not teach something we do not know or practice. I can not teach anyone to be slim today; my life experiences and choices have produced me -- the 300lb. woman writing this blog. But I can say that we/I do not have to keep making the same choices every day.
