Aaaaaand...we're off! Cycle 1, Day 1

Today's the day! We've officially started The 17 Day Diet and we couldn't be more excited! This morning we weighed in, took measurements, and took our before photos. And yes. I will post all of our stats at the end of this blog. We're not embarrassed to show our numbers because at the end of this, it'll be a thing of the past and something we'll never see again. So we're proud to show our stats to the whole world!

We're so excited about how easy this seems. All of the foods on the Cycle 1 list are foods we both love. How easy a "diet" can this be? The first Cycle of 17 days incorporates a lot of proteins, veggies, and fruits. Easy enough for us.

Breakfast this morning consisted of: 2 eggs scrambled with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, chili peppers, garlic and turkey breast with a side of fruit and green tea. It was SO filling. That may not sound like a lot of food but I'll be damned if we weren't stuff after that. That's a great feeling to be full on healthy food.

So...the part you've all been waiting for. Our stats. Here it goes:

CHARLENE

Weight: 149lbs
Height: 4'11"
Arms: 14"
Waist: 36"
Hips: 41"
Thigh: 22"

SAMANTHA

Weight: 202lbs
Height: 5'6"
Arms: 13.5"
Waist: 37"
Hips: 47"
Thigh: 27.5"3

So as you can see, we have some work ahead of us. But we're doing it together and that's the best part. If I was trying to conquer this alone, I think I'd be setting myself up to fail. But with a partner this seems easier. We'll see how it goes. We're both beyond excited about the change that's going to take place on the outside as well as the inside as we become happier with our self image.

Stay tuned!
