Yet another Tuesday, maybe something different

Well today I did not weigh in the morning simply because I want to wait until I am sure the scale is not going to read plus or minus 1 of the same thing. It really gets me in a slump to start out this way and feel like it is going slow. Remember that I weigh 300+ pounds so my first 2 weeks are the big flashy beginning that are supposed to propel me in to dealing with 1 to 2 pounds a week. I will say that today I really do notice that my belt/pants are loose. That is always a good first sign.

It is hard for me to give up so much at once, but I feel like I am doing myself a disservice and rationalizing my way into some mediocre weightloss. I need to get going if I am going to drop some good weight before my new little one is born. That is what all of this is really about. Becoming a stay at home dad, but one with the energy to make my childrens' lives fun and rich learning environments. At my current energy levels that is going to be tough.

I gave up carbonated diet drinks yesterday and bought some Crystal Light. Well I really think I am only slightly in ketosis because I am drinking artificial sweetners. So I am switching to water only, and I am also debating on eliminating my morning coffee. The problem with that is I will go through some major caffeine withdrawls. I have been drinking Starbucks every morning for about the last 4 years. Crazy as it sounds it is what motivates me to get my day started. It is an expensive habit and I am hoping it isn't contributing to my problem as well. I think for the purposes of getting into high ketosis I am going to try to give it up for two weeks starting today.

Anyway in conclusion:
No diet drinks
No Starbucks until I am into ketosis in a big way or two weeks are up

So far the game plan for today is:
Breakfast:
5 turkey links for breakfast
2 Tbsp Low Carb ketchup

Lunch:
3 eggs scrambled with cheese
2 turkey sausages
