Starting today with fast day.  Trying to plan my meals ahead of time to get to 600 calories, and I've used the app myfitnesspal in the past to track calories.  It's kind of an interesting program--you tell it how much weight you want to lose in a certain amount of time, and it tells you how many calories you have to eat each day to get there.  And it keeps track of the calories you eat as you input them each day.  I tried it a few years ago and the whole "game" of it wears off after awhile.  But its calorie counting feature is cool because it's loaded with just about every food in the universe.  Really makes you think, "are those calories worth it?"

So I started the day off with coffee (Mystic Monk, from the Carmelites in Wyoming) with a TBS of cream (not a big slug) and some splenda.  My plan is 2 hard boiled eggs mid morning, then an apple about lunch time.  For dinner, I've got lots of running to do with kids, so it will have to be something fast food and I need about 300 calories to make my 600.  So a bean burrito from Taco Bell or some Chicken McNuggets will fit that bill.  That's my plan.

Right off the bat I feel pretty yucky.  Headache and light headed.  The coffee wasn't enough to make my body happy.  So I'm going to drink plenty of water, say a lot of Hail Marys, and get through to my hard boiled eggs--which are sounding pretty good right about now.

The official freight scale says 230.5.  So that's where I'm starting the journey.  Destination:  199.
