R1P2D2, 295.0, -1.0 , (LOAD DAY2) gotta try to get in as much fat as I can

Well I lost a pound from load day 1.  Some folks gain a lot on their load days, but I am really trying to focus on high fat, and to minimize the carbs and sugar. You can have the carbs and sugar, but the main goal is to load the fat.  And I just don't want to have to lose anymore than I have to.  But I will let myself have one carb/sugar treat that I won't be having for awhile - ice cream.

Ok, 3/4 lb of bacon, 1/2 can of cashews, a chili dog and onion rings, and a pint of low sugar ice cream.  Man oh man, did I have to force that down.  I am just not hungry at ALL.  The chili dog and onion rings had me feeling like oil was oozing out of my pores - nasty nasty.  But it did taste good :)

Well, the result was a 1/2 lb gain, so not to bad considering all the junk I ate.  Am excited to get started tomorrow on the VLCD (very low cal diet) and get the weight loss phase going.

I am shooting for a 40 day cycle to start, followed by a 21 day Phase 3 stabalization period.  Then a few more cycles of the same.  Most people lose between 25-45 lbs on a 40 day cycle if they have a good amount to lose.  My hopes are high that this initial round will be enough to make it easier to start mild work outs again.  I miss working out SOOOO bad, but after the back injury, just walking can trigger the pain again.  I am sure getting some of this weight off will help me to at least start walking again.
