Weighed today - 226 - down 4 pounds! I had a funny reaction, though, like I thought 'oh, it's just water'. Instead of thinking woo-hoo!
Still feeling mostly in control though. No cravings really.
I really can't wait until I get under 200. It just doesn't feel sexy to know I'm over 200 pounds somehow.

I made some fabulous foccacia like flax bread tonight and it's awesome. Tastes like I'm eating an interesting fibre filled bread. Love that!

am - protein powder in cream
lunch - 2 pcs chicken and slice cheese
pm - flax bread, cheese

First week over with, today is weigh day.....good news, I weighed 191.2. I started the week at 198, so I have lost 7 lbs the first week.

Brkf: 2 bacon 2 eggs 1 white scrambled (starving this morning)
dinner: chili (no beans, just hamb. crushed...

What You Need To Do Dry Brushing:

To dry brush, use a soft natural fiber brush with a long handle, so that you are able to reach all areas of your body. One with a removable head with a strap for your hand is a good choice.

A loofah sponge or a rough towel can also be used. Most nylon and synthetic fiber brushes are too sharp and may damage skin although I found a softer bath brush with nylon bristles that seems to do the trick. The important thing is to find something...
