Day Two

Down 3 pounds the first day?! That's pretty darn awesome. Although I'm not in it for the weight this time. The number I really want to see come down is my cholesterol. It will take a bit more time for that...not going to happen overnight.

A startling research study showed that those with a cholesterol level between 200-239 increased risk of developing dementia by 52% and at 240 or higher it was a staggering 66%! Alzheimer's has been one of my biggest fears as I age, and with my cholesterol registering at a whopping 307 last time I had it checked, this statistic really lit a fire under me to make some serious changes!!

Breakfast: smoothie

Lunch: veggie "fajita" with no tortilla, rice and beans

Dinner: smoothie

Snack: banana w/peanut butter

Feeling pretty good today...wasn't really hungry until after the movie this evening. Had banana for snack but still hungry. Maybe need more water. Feeling a little headachy too. Detox?

(161 lbs)
