The Countdown "4"

Four days until my life without food.

Went to orientation last night. It's becoming very real.

Blood work - check (ouch)
EKG - check (yes I have a heart)
Urinalysis - check (yuck)
Weight - check (ugly)
Height - check (not shrinking yet)
Physical exam - check (nice doctor, very supportive)

It was kind of funny, they even talked about when we meet on Tuesday for the "official" start of the program we can all share our "last meal". I don't know what I want for my last meal. I've been eating my last meal every day since I decided to go on this program.

Today I am going to the Giants opening day game with a client and you can bet there is a hot dog and a beer in my immediate future. I worry about how I am going to entertain clients while I work on this project, I guess I won't, at least at first. They may just have to entertain themselves.

  2. I'd like to direct your attention to another blog that might be of interest to you. Anita is a woman from Danville, California who went through a similar (if not the same) program last year and seemed to find it helpful. The link is http://www.anitasblog.com/

    By the way, this is not a sales thing at all, her blog is a true story!

    Anita is also a Lutheran minister and she makes no secret of her belief in God (most of her preaching is saved for a different blog though) so take what you will from it. I just thought you might be interested in reading the thoughts of another person who went through the program you're about to start.

    Good luck! I'm pulling for you.

  3. I'm thinking of you (often) and wishing you the best, looking forward to following your progress. Who knows maybe I can pick up some tips from you.

    I love you
