PenteKing’s BodyBlog

Okay, it’s now been officially four days since the start of my routine/attitude (whoa! hold the presses! Four whole days!) and I’m here to report that so far, I’ve adhered to my promised activities. My diet has been super clean. I’m eating only fresh, unprocessed food, and have eliminated bread, pasta and wheat from my meals. I’m substituting brown rice, barley and quiona (which doesn’t taste half bad, if the truth must be told). I’m lifting religiously and so far this month, have been in the water 3 out of the 4 days. I’m gradually getting more and more comfortable in the water. Of course, it helps knowing that at any time all I have to do is stand up and I’m out of danger, but still…For me, this is huge. I mean, we’re talking about a man who has never learned to swim. Even though I live in San Diego, I visit the beach maybe three time a year, and when I do, I play volleyball or lay in the sun, working on my tan.

I haven’t weighed myself yet. I plan to weigh myself every Friday morning, immediately upon waking. If I weigh myself any more frequently than that, I’ll become obsessed about my progress (or lack thereof) and lose focus on what I’m trying to accomplish. Sooooo, as the old saying goes, "So far; so good."
