Day 15 - Weigh In and Genetic Test Results

This morning I weighed myself and was extremely surprised...not in a good way!

 WHAT!!!! Only .4 lbs.  I couldn't believe it.  I couldn't have already hit a stupid plateau.  However, as I started thinking about it, I feel that due to the salty food over the weekend, I might have been retaining water.  I woke up this morning extremely parched so I think this might be the case.  I will weigh myself tomorrow to see if that is the case.


However, before logic set in, I was pretty down.  Last week was hard and I was expecting some better results and its easy to let emotions take over.  However, I stuck to the plan and kept going.  Drank a lot of water, had a meal bar for breakfast, my shake mixed with protein for lunch.  An apple and peanut butter for a snack and then the wife bought some chicken kabobs for the two of us to share from Whole Foods.

I should have taken a picture, shoot.


The highlight of the day, MY GENETIC TEST RESULTS ARRIVED!

Now, I took the test thinking that the results would be in line with what I thought, that Im sensitive to carbs.  Well, I was wrong!

FAT TRIMMER......WHAT THE HECK!!!!

I couldn't understand, I was so sure that I was a Carb Reducer that this made no sense to me.  However, after talking it over with Christy, it started to make so much sense.  As I went back to my logs from 2011-2012, I could see that when I hit my 192 plateau, I started eating more fat in the hopes that it would cause my body to start burning it.  Well, this explains why I couldn't break that plateau at all and ultimately caused me to "give up".

 As we talked about it, we started listing some of the foods that I shouldn't eat anymore:

pizza
cheese fries
pizza
fast food (Taco Bell)
PIZZA

 Im going to have to give up pizza???? I don't think I can do it.  You know the question, If you were stuck on a deserted island, what one food would you want on it?  Mine is Pizza!

 Tony at Pizza Bella isn't going to be to happy about this.
