Progress report

On the first day I watched the beginning webinar for The Challenge.  This is the only thing I've gotten done so far.  I need to get moving in this area to continue to make progress.  Tomorrow I will get through at least a few of the Pre-Challenge training materials.

Day 2

Today was much more of a struggle than yesterday.  I woke up with the most massive headache ever complete with severe nausea   - caused by the lack of caffeine I'm sure.  I gave in a took one Excedrin, which has caffeine - but I figured it was better than Mtn Dew, which was the other caffeine readily available.

I also had a major lack of energy all day to go with the headache that was dulled but still there.  I decided that I need to go off the caffeine more slowly.  I bought a 20oz Diet Dr Pepper - which has caffeine but no carbs.  I only drank about 1/3 of it, and will probably drink the rest tomorrow.  If I can keep it to a small amount of caffeine, and only the 0 carb variety,  I will be satisfied with that  - for now.

Breakfast:
1 hard boiled egg (0)
1 slice of cheese (1)
Lunch:
Stir fried veggies and beef (5)
Dinner:
Salad with lettuce, broccoli, hard boiled egg, cheese, and 2 T Thousand Island Dressing (10)

Total Carbs: 16
Caffeine: A little
Water: 48 (but I plan 8 more before bed to get to my goal of 56)

Still a good day overall.

Day 1

Day one is pretty much done.  How did I do today??
Breakfast - eggs with ham and cheese - 4 carbs
Lunch - 1 small serving beef and stir fried veggies - 10 carbs
Dinner - I hamburger Patty with cheese on top, with Ketchup and mustard - 6
Snacks - 2 slices of cheese and several pieces of Pepperoni - 2 carbs
Total = 22 net Carbs!
Water = 56 ounces
No Caffeine!
I'm calling it a win overall.  Now I'm taking me and my caffeine headache to bed.

Weigh In

Just dropped in for a quick post before I forget the number for my start -- Starting weight: 107.2....No caffeine yet today, but the craving is fierce.

More later.....
