Day 12 - Cold as Hell

So it appears as if I have entered week two of my biggest loser program. From what my mother tells me during this week the contestants lose the least weight as they get used to the routine and their body adjusts accordingly. I haven't lost any weight but I have not gained any either and that in itself is a victory. I find that I am enjoying life more because I am loving food and I really look forward to eating now. I like my three squares a day and some snacks in between. Still on the same work out regimen. Thinking about purchasing a fitness ball to try some crunches and other exercises. I also want to start with some resistance bands. I am not ready to dive in the nautilus thing ;) besides thats way too much money and I have no where to put it except in my basement which may one day become a de-facto gym. I think my wife would be none to happy about it. I am also thinking about taking a boxing class I hear that is very good for cardio and fat burning. Ok so I have decided that Apples are the best treat in the world. I even got used to eating them with the skin on. I really like the fact that something natural can taste so good and I am so happy that I am eating a fruit. Historically fruits and vegetables played a very very small part in my diet if any. Now they are become well aquatinted guests in my daily food intake.
