Starting picture.

So I am at a point in my *DR MANDATED* low fiber diet, that i can start phasing in cooked fruits and veggies. I only lost 3-4 lbs in the last month (from when the dietician weighed me in her office), which is a bit of a letdown for me. However, she insists that this is great progress given my current menu.

I was getting super tired during the day, so I am now having to have a snack of either yogurt, or peanut butter on bread before bed to keep my energy levels up during the day. I was pretty bummed because it means an increase in my caloric intake, but at least it means that my gut is healing - which is good news for my health.

I have not been exercising as much as I should. Only once or twice a week. Bedtimes have been later than I would like as of late for various reasons, which has also zapped my energy supply. Since this is the main aspect that I have the most control over at the moment, I am going to try to re-emphasize the exercise aspect with myself. At the bare minimum, make it a point everyday to do a weight session and crunches.

In this endeavor I am posting a starting (as of today, 5 minutes ago) picture of myself. As of this morning I weighed 204.6 lbs.

I dont like to say 'before' picture. Before what? This is a starting picture. This is what I look like now, on my nasty low fiber diet, doing absolutely minimal exercise.

Lets see where we end up.
