My Buddy, Rod, saw his picture and sent me this email:

The Buluga whale you pictured in your blog is quite the specimen of mother
nature at work. What a beauty. But, it is an endangered species because
the Sunday night Keystones (I can remember 12 last Sunday) are being
replaced with low-carb Rum and Coke Zero. If there is anything that can
motivate a person to lose weight, it is having his a photo of his bloated,
drunken body posted on the frickin internet...thanks buddy.

You just feel better knowing you can make a difference in someone's life.

Morning day 1

It's 5am, wake-up! I started the diet last night and had the hebal tea before bed. Tyler went out with friends to watch the shooting stars and didn't get in till 12:30am. He was told 1am so he did fine. This morning I am drinking the 2 tsps of Sea Salt in 16 oz of warm water and will stick with the "lemonade" throughout the day. I will weight myself in the evening. I am off to work shortly. Have a great day!

Preparing to diet.

Well, I completed most of my shopping. It is possible that this diet may not work. Living in a rural area means I had to do some substitutions. I mixed the following items together to make my "Tea". 5 fresh lemons, 12 tablespoons "natural" maple syrup, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 60 ounces of filtered water.
I have decided to be very honest about this and am posting my physical measurements:
Neck: 18 inches
Chest: 47
Waist: 39
Thigh: 25.5
Weight: 205 pounds
You may have noticed a bit of a double chin and I am going to make an attempt to post a picture each day so you can see if there are any changes. I am hoping to continue this diet for ten days and see what my loss may be. Mike warned me that headaches may be an issue. I will keep asprin at the ready. Each night I have to drink a cup of Herbal Laxative tea and each morning drink 30 ounces of water with sea salt.
Tonight I am having a cheeseburger as the final meal before starting this diet. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of the blog as we go along.

Pre-day 1

After having spent the last 10 days with family and friends I have decided to loose some weight. I had talked to my sister Laura and she suggested the "Master Cleanse" diet. Today I am going to gather the needed items and start the diet. I thought doingthis under this format would make it easier for everyone to comment and to keep up with the action as it happens.
