Today is day # 11 and we have both done AWESOME! Dusty has lost 8.8 lbs and I have lost 6.6lbs! I haven't noticed much difference in the way I look but I can definitely tell a difference in the way I feel. The first day was horrible. I had the worst headache and took 2 Aleve and that didn't touch it. Dusty happen to have some vicodin left over from dental work, so I took that. Bad idea, I was so nauseous. (btw don't take vicodin on a starving tummy) Day #2 wasn't as bad, the aleve took care of the headache easily. Then Day #3 was smooth sailing. We've both talked about how great it is that we can tell our stomach's have shrunk because it takes less to fill us.
We gave ourselves a few days to adjust to eating less calories before we added exercise into the mix. Now we workout every other day. We just go next door to his mom's house where he has a workout room. There is a bowflex and an eliptical. We take turns, one will do the weights and the other will do the eliptical and then we switch. I made a weight tracker to show my progress. I'm hoping to reach my goal by Christmas and I think it's totally doable.
