Lose It! Daily Summary for Sat, Mar 27th
Saturday began with the intent of relaxing my nutritious regiment, but quite the result was quite the opposite.
Since I have essentially replaced all the foods I used to eat with much better nutritious foods, it became a matter of supply...but you know what? I actually enjoy these foods now, and as I went through my day,
I realized that Saturday was probably one of the most nutritious days I've had in my life.

Lose It! Daily Summary for Thu, Mar 25th
Alright folks, into the home stretch here. Just a few more pounds till I get to my goal, but I suspect
those are always the hardest to loose. After that It's into phase 3 of my plan to go into a bit of strength
training.
As you can see from below, I believe diet around completely, and It's definitely reflected in my day to day
"state". I feel wide awake, mentally alert, and I feel more energized. I haven't felt that way in a long time, but
it's all starting to come together.
Well, the adventure continues, and the fact that the kids are on spring break this next week, should throw
in some dietary and work out schedule "challenges", but we will adapt!
