Walking 50 minutes, 18 minute resistance training

Here it is, the end of week 1. I'm an inch smaller on my waist, a half inch smaller on my neck, and I haven't measured the rest yet.

Cristian, i.e. Mr. Doubtful, is down from 214 to 207. He hasn't measured himself at all to have a comparison for that though.

We'll see if I can get him to continue with the program.

The eating isn't so bad, but there aren't enough recipes to fit to a real life included in the program itself. The website forums have been a GREAT help.

I made sweet potato souffles last night. Cristian took a first bite, then got a huge grin. "It taste just like pumpkin pie!" I told him it taste more like candied yams, but that we CAN do the same recipe with canned pumpkin (or fresh).

It was perfect since he had been feeling deprived of sweets and the like (and we both love pumpkin pie!).

As for me... I haven't been hungry at all. It has been difficult to eat all the things I'm supposed to and when I'm supposed to, but cooking in advance seriously helps.

Today I'm going to try a recipe for oatmeal cookies.
