I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.

Weight on 9/9/11: 274.5 lbs*

I was urged by a friend of mine to write another post.  I was planning to, of course, but things have been so hectic this past week that I haven't had time to devote to writing another entry until today, so here goes.

So, I just got back from Athens for the UGA/South Carolina game and for what I hope will be my last weekend of gastronomical debauchery for the last time until December 2.  It may be tough.  Thanksgiving and this trip to Orlando I have planned with a good friend may put a slight wrench in the gears, but I have to go into this realstically.  I may have to have the occassional burger every once in a blue moon.  I just have to keep from making it a habit and not look at myself as a ruined person just because I went to the drive-thru line.

Anyway, my diet plan:  Tomorrow's the first day officially of the diet and I'm trying the whole "six smaller meals" thing.  Now, I'll be honest.  I'm "Mr. Three-Square-Meals".  But apparently the six smaller meals boosts your metabolism and makes you less hungry.  That remains to be seen, in my case:

So here's what tomorrow will look like:

Breakfast -- Two slices of Ezekiel Bread toast and 2 eggs

Mid-Morning Snack -- GNC Lean Protein Shake

Lunch -- A Lean Cuisine (I have a few in the office freezer I need to get rid of)

Mid-Afternoon Snack -- Fruit Salad and Yogurt

Dinner -- Salmon and Sauteed Veggies

Evening Snack -- ? (Hopefully not high-tailing it to Chick-Fil-A...)

Give me strength...

* So, this is my true weight.  I will admit that the 280.5 mentioned in the last post was me weighing myself at night and with clothes on.  The 274.5 from this past Friday is me first thing in the morning and in a more "natural" state (sorry for the image).  I just wanted to clear up the 6-pound difference before people start congratulating me.  But from now on, I will consider 274.5 my official starting point on this journey.
