Transitions

Tomorrow at work I start Transitions. It's a 12 week weight loss program through my firm's benefit coordinator. It's been described as Weight Watchers with supplements. I am supposed to keep track of what I eat while of course following certain rules for what I can eat. I also will be taking supplements for the 12 week program. Of course exercise will be part of the program. After the 12 weeks I am supposed to be able to have "transitioned" into healthy eating and living and be able to keep off the weight I've lost. I'm very nervous for the first week of the program because I was informed today that the first week is a "detox" week. This detox is a diet of fruits and veggies only. No salt, butter, oil, sugar, etc. I'm allowed herbs and spices to put on my fruits and veggies. But I can only cook them by steaming them. No baking, no microwave. Or eat them raw, which will not be happening. The true test will be Sunday, which of course is Super Bowl Sunday. Besides Christmas and Thanksgiving, this is the third biggest eating holiday. Yes, I'm calling it a holiday.

So tomorrow is the start of the program. As of today I am 5'8" and 170lbs. My BMI is 25.8. I have no idea what my measurements are. We get to figure that out tomorrow (not awkward at all). My goal is at least 150lbs by the end of the 12 weeks.

Wish me luck with my fruits and veggies!
