That's a wrap on WEEK ONE.

Okay, so that one's in the record books. A week down and my weight loss is:

(drumroll?)

 

-7.7lbs. meh.

I mean, that's fine. It's not bad at all really... especially since I had more than a few hiccups this week... and I don't even think I fully realized when the week started how focused (obsessive) I would be by the weeks end. 

Still, the early weeks are the easy ones and should yield the best results... so I'm not totally stoked on -1.1 lbs per day.

Check with me in a couple months... at that point, I'm sure numbers like this would be cause for me to do backflips in happiness.

Yes, that's me... a 300lb. dude, doing an actual backflip. Yes, it's on a trampoline... but still.

Also... I wanted to talk a bit about something I tried today. A "recipe". I figure at this point almost no one is reading the crap I post here. And that's fine. I'm doing it for me. If I came across this blog I seriously doubt that I'd be in a rush to come back and see how this random fat dude was doing every day. To that end, I guess I had better occasionally post something of a little more "substance".
Until I figure out what that might be, deal with this:

I eat a lot of eggs. I tend to turn to them when I need a meal and don't wanna dip into the staples that helped build my current 300lb. temple. (bread, pizza, etc) The most common thing for me to make was always a breakfast wrap on a whole wheat tortilla. For the time being, I've ditched the tortilla too... and have been making scrambled eggs, with onions, turkey sausage and maybe a little pepper jack cheese. Salt & pepper and a little Tabasco and I'm golden. If we have salsa in the house, good. If not, no big deal. I'll eat this at any time, for any meal. And in case you can't tell by that description, I'm not much of a cook.

Anyway, I was thinking I wanted to mix it up a bit, but wasn't sure what to do. So today I went a little outside of the box. I made egg salad, but instead of using mayo, I mushed up an avocado in with my hard boiled eggs. It was really pretty darn delicious. I had to resist the urge to pile it on a bagel, but still. It was nice. I think if I try it again, I'll go a little deeper with some more seasoning... maybe some celery or something, and who knows, maybe even a more exotic mustard that, well, yellow. But for the first run, simple was good. I looked around and found several versions of this on the interwebs... so check em out for yourself and hit me up if you find something you think I might like.
