Day 2 - Are we SPLURGING yet? - Initial Stats

Last night, Mike and I went out for mexican food. Read: High calorie foods! It was so good to eat tortilla chips and cheesy enchiladas and potato burritos! And then I couldn't finish my plate...I was definitely full. Mike treated himself to a big bowl of tableside guacamole. Bring on the calories!

So, it's Saturday, also known as "The Day before the Fast." We indulged again, going out to brunch and getting "our usual" - two types of french toast and french fries. Coffee for Mike, hot chocolate for me. Though we balanced this out with a reasonable dinner. We made some wonderful veggie curry burgers with a curry mayo.

Tomorrow is our first fasting day. We have no idea how we're going to manage our 500/600 calories. We have barely discussed it. You'll just have to find out tomorrow how we fare.

In the meanwhile, I'm going to throw some numbers at you to track our progress as we go through this process. What we learned is that though we don't look terrible and don't have any health problems, we are still considered unhealthy and in some cases, we're considered obese. Yikes!

Mike:

• Neck - 18 inches (circumference, of course)
• Abdomen - 44 inches
• Body fat % - 26.73% (obese)
• 64 lbs of body fat
• lean body weight  - 175 lbs.
• Weight (as of 7pm): 246 lbs.

Lori:

• Neck - 12 inches
• Waist - 27.5 inches
• Hips -  40.5 inches
• Body fat % - 32.53% (obese)
• 42 lbs of body fat
• lean body weight - 87 lbs.
• Weight (as of 7pm) - 130 lbs.

I can't wait until fasting day!! I want these numbers to go down...I don't want to be obese!
