Tough day, yesterday.
All I wanted was a cheat day and I finally took it. An extra bagel, some potato chips,
cheese and crackers, chocolate. I thought I could go through this without cheat days for
the first couple months but I think I’m going to have to factor them in just to stay in
control.Despite yesterday’s lapse (and that of the day before), I have to call this week a total
success.

Here are my measurements and how they stack up from my starting point:

Weight: 209 (lost 5 pounds)
Bodyfat: 41% (lost 1%)
Bust: 42 (lost 1 inch)
Waist: 37 (lost 2 inches)
Hips: 45 (lost 3 inches)
Thigh: 24 (no change)
Calf: 15.5 (lost 0.5 inches)
Bicep: 14 (no change)

My guess is that the three pounds lost that weren’t fat were water retention from all the
starch I was eating previously. (After all every molecule of starch holds on to two
molecules of water.)

Overall, in my first week, I’ve lost five pounds, 1% bodyfat and 6.5 inches! Definitely a
success.
