Day 8: Reboot and the fat burning machine has started

One full day of properly (All day Tuesday) following my jumpstart program and I am starting to see the results I expect.  Wednesday morning weigh in was 230.4 lb . My body is starting to adjust to the lack of carbs.  I am drinking tons of water so I know the losses are not due to water retention / water loss. (110 oz of water for the day).  I am starting to clear out the previous day/days of food that had built up in my system.  Sometimes when starting up a low carb strategy you will notice bowel movements happen less frequently at first. As more clears out of my system I expect to see larger weight loss gains over the upcoming days.

I've stopped the cardio for now and I have been walking 2 miles/day. I want to have a few strong days on the jumpstart without the cardio and then I will go back to the gym starting Saturday to see if the cardio affects the weight-loss for the remaining days of the jumpstart period.

{goal 17}

Throughout the day I ate: (remember this is still part jumpstart period and NOT the regular weight-loss phase of the diet.  Even though the weight-loss gains will become extreme it is NOT healthy to maintain this type of food intake over longer periods of time.)

• 8 cups of lettuce
• 2 cucumbers
• 2 bell peppers
• 1 cup green onion
• balsamic vinegar
• 2 lbs of chicken
• 110 oz of water
• Morton's Light Salt
• 2 small oranges

Let's see what Thursday's weigh-in brings us! (I did not get to publish this article last night as intended... so as of publishing this article Thurday morning, Thursday's weigh-in has been taken. The weigh-in shows another big loss! Look to day 9 update that will be published this evening!)
