I am trying to keep my digest for workouts simple….Really no elaboration needed. If anyone feels slighted in any way, please do not hesitate to comment on our justpayattentiontofitness.com blog site where this journey will be posted daily after the 160 Days.

Two 1” slabs of watermelon started my day……and followed by two .5-L bottles of fresh orange juice at about 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. I ate a Pear in the afternoon about 4:30 PM….This maintained my energy levels nicely for the day……The key is keeping busy…….

Got in a full day today with general office work and fielding calls throughout the day……Losing 17 pounds in 9 days would seem radical to most but excess water weight sheds very quickly at first. Also I am satisfied with my food intake so far……90% of the mind-over-matter stuff is just staying relaxed in your plan and/or lifestyle change.

For me…..At least this time……I plan on journaling from now on…..Yes, forever……Which will hopefully keep me accountable not only to myself but to anybody who may be following as well. It really seems to be making a big difference in my overall determination and mindset as well. Blessings to all…..Hasta!!
