225.4

I am se7en days into my Lenten Diet and I'm down se7en pounds. That pleases me greatly. I think the main factor in my weight loss is not drinking beer. I take in a lot of carbs with my beer drinking.

The other portion of my diet is going well, I think. I'm not starving but I am craving sweets. I'm trying to be tough about it. I haven't fallen off the diet at all except I had some low fat yogurt that might have had too much sugar in it. The fact that it had any sugar is the bad part. After all, the diet is no sugar, no grains.

My goal for this diet is to get down to 210 pounds. I will settle for 215 but if I can get to 210, I will eat my face off with joy.
