Day One17 Day Diet December 31, 2012

Today is day one of me starting my weight loss journey with the 17 Day Diet! My first goal weight is 130, and I am guessing that I am starting at 146. I forgot to weigh myself this morning before I ate. Oh I guessed wrong 147.4 is what the scale says at 3:30 pm.  My second goal weight is 120.  I was actually suppose to kick this off in October with my Barre3 DVD.

You can grab your copy here off of Amazon:

 

Not to mention all kinds of accessories, like this cookbook caught my eye today for cycle 1:

However, if you are like me you can’t just get the starter kit for anything! I had to have the cookbook and workbook. But in hindsight I did not need them, so stop right there just get the book so you can understand the diet.

 

 

 

There are plenty of support groups on line to, here are a couple I am part of:

You may choose to get the 17 minute video, however, with Pinterest and YouTube I am sure you can find something to do for 17 minutes of exercise.  But if not…

I started my morning off with lemon water, two eggs and salsa, and my snack was a Pink Lady apple. Lunch was chicken with artichoke hearts and tonight dinner is chicken lettuce tacos.
