First off - the Catalyst is like spinach to Popeye. I was in the gym at 4:45am yesterday (which is *NOT* normal for this big boy), and I took the Spark/Catalyst to start my day. I will tell you - I felt like a gerbil on a wheel the way I was on the elliptical. I couldn't run fast enough without tripping over myself. And I had a great little circuit as well, I had enough energy for 20 men, and I never really experienced the jitters.
I followed the plan to a tee - I have been counting my calories for a while so I kept faithful to that, and because I know that I made a HUGE commitment (let's face it - this is a lot of money if you're not going to make the commitment), I swore that I would be flawless on my eating.
Last night was our AWANAs party at church - that means we were serving all the ice cream sundaes, pizza and snack cakes that you could reach for. I was up to my ears in some of my favorite vices.
I didn't take ONE bite. Not even a sniff. I literally walked away from someone who had an open box of Domino's Pepperoni Pizza looking at me. And I love what is in that box more than Garfield loves lasagna.
So, onto Day Two. I've already been to the grocery store and got my carb (oatmeal), protein (sausage patties) and fruit (apple and mango). I'm prepared, and in 23 days, to celebrate my 40th birthday, I am going to give myself a success story and a before/after picture for the ages.
