Ok, I made it through the first five days without any major difficulties at all. Day 3 gave me a headache, but today I feel full of energy, I am yawning less during the day. I feel hyper, which is strange for me, because i am used to feeling sluggish.
I am noticing that I am more focused at work, I have been tired earlier and I fall asleep easier and it is easier to get out of bed in the mornings.
I am doing better than anyone (including myself) thought that I would. I went out to lunch with a co-worker yesterday at a steak house / bar. I had no problem knowing what and how to order. the only time that I feel hungry is when i am suposed to be eating.
My biggest fear is that I would be hungry all the time, I am so releived that this is not the case. I am going hunting with my family this weekend, and I am not nervious at all about what I will eat while camping. I am packing 4 chicken breasts, a gallon size bag of chopped veggies, and my Medifast meals.
My wife is experiencing explosive amounts of energy. Check out her blog as well: www.fasttrack2fitness.blogspot.com

Getting started.
So my wife Trudy and I started on the TSFL program this week, and today is day three. We took our photos on day 1. I weighed in at my doctors office at 403 Lbs. I have to go to the doctors office to get weighed because no one else has a scale big enough for me.
I was very nervious about starting the program. My biggest fear was that I was going to be hungry all of the time. Boy was I wrong. Trudy has to remind me to eat my meals. I had steak and sauted mushrooms for dinner last night. I had steak and salad for lunch today. So while I am changing what I eat and how often, I still get to enjoy great meals every day. I am very excited to see my progress, I wish I could fast forward a month to see myself.
I talk to our health coach at least three times a day, and she (Chemae) is great. Having a coach is one of the best things about the TSFL program. When I have questions, I always have someone to call.
Keep following us on our journey. My goal is that this blog will help motivate other people to try this program and start living healthier lives. It was our time to do something about our weight, if it is your time and you would like to learn about the Take Shape for Life program, please dont hesitate to contact us.
