Water under the bridge? 8lbs in 7 days

As of this morning, I am down to 195 from 203. Ok so most of it may be water weight. Its weight nonetheless. This week I start K/E—all lean protein, no veggies. This going to be something. But I am going to try it out. I'm putting the scale away. Seeing the numbers fluctuate everyday can be nerve wrecking. So I'm probably going to weigh myself every week or maybe every two weeks. Depending on how things go, I'll probably follow K/E with Bootcamp. That is lean protein with some veggies and at least 30 minutes of exercise for at least 5 days a week. I will start walking again, while taking a lot of Benadryl (curse my itchy legs). There are a lot of paths and hills in my neighborhood that will give me a nice workout just from walking. If I get better, then hopefully I can start running again. Got to find a good multivitamin to take and then just be obedient...follow the plan and keep busy. Weekends are the toughest as I dont feel like logging in what I've eaten. I'm beat from the farmer's market and Sundays after church I just want to veg out—watch movies, nap, snack, and nap some more. Got to get my mind right. Anyway, it is an adventure.

I hope to lose a total of 20lbs by the end of August. So here is to drinking lots of water (I went to the bathroom like 10 times last night), eating lean protein (egg beaters, thyme and white pepper make a great omelete) and working out (going to be trekking up that Braddock Rd gargantuan hill).
