I have had fast weight loss for week one.  I am down 6 pounds to 224 pounds.  My BMI is down to a 28 which is still overweight but its only week two!  I am happy with how fast I have lost weight so far.

Each week I will describe what I did in the previous week and what I will do next week.  Please see my weight loss blog posts before (or after if reading this in the future).

Exercise Week One

I had two good workouts in week one, unfortunately I was not able to get in 3 due to some late nights.  On the weekend I can workout during the day but during the week I am only doing nights.  My first workout was on Sunday and I did 30 minutes on the stationary bike, two sets of 12 repitition push ups and 2 sets of dumb bell curls.  The second work out was Tuesday night and was much the same with 30 minutes on the incumbent bike and two sets of 13 (1 more) repititions for my push ups.  I didn't do any dumb bell curls as I was feeling low.  I think due to the low-carb eating.

Diet Week One 

I only began my diet on Tuesday as my family had the flu and I played "mom" and "dad" taking care of the wife and kids on Sunday and Monday.  All the more impressive on the weight loss.  I kept to the Atkins style and had very few carbs.  I had eggs and a meat for breakfast everyday.  Meats were either turkey sausage, bacon, pork sausage or kielbasa.  Lunch was typically some form of salad with meat on it and that was always chicken or Turkey. I also had chile for lunch once day with no beans.  For Dinner I had turkey and gravy one night, strawberries and salad another plus some hummus and celery to snack on.  Chicken wings was dinner on Thursday night and Friday night I had Chicken and green beans.  Saturday night was lamb and chicken from Moby Dicks.  Delicious!  Today, Sunday, is my "free day".  

 Exercise Week Two 

I started my week two exercise today with the same 30 minute bike workout with higher difficulty (2 instead of the lowly 1, haha!).  The difference was I bought the Perfect Pushup Bar.  Wow those are a lot harder and I am doing their workout schedule which has me doing more pushups and variety.  I love it!

I plan on continuing to do the same workouts and calling the Tennis Club this week to setup up tennis lessons.  The Perfect Pushup should help me do a higher intensity workout for my upper body.  Tennis should start in week three, but we shall see as plans always change!

Diet Week Two 

 I hope I have fast weight loss in week two like week one but I am not sure that will happen.  I am going to give this Body For Life diet a 100% try which has a completely different way of eating then Atkins.  It is 6 meals a day, with 2 small snacks between breakfast, lunch, and dinner and then a dessert is the 6th meal.  The meals are all smaller but you have more fruit and veggies in the meal and everything is low fat and all the breads/rice/noodles are either whole wheat or no yolk eggs.   It also has Whey Protein shakes thrown in quite a bit for snacks.  So I look forward to trying this and I think this will take 2-3 weeks to see if it works for my body and life style.  I am most worried about getting 6 meals into me every day!
