Day One of the New Diet

So today I started medicating myself to lose some weight. Eating healthy and exercise were doing nothing for me, so I am now taking two separate supplements to help in my weight loss. The first is a weight loss pill called Hydroxycut. I was actually planning on buying Stacker2 or TrimSpa, but the guy at GNC told me they are all basically the same thing, so I went for this one. I was also convinced that I needed a dietary supplement to provide me with lotsa stuff I would need b/c the Hydroxycut was gonna block it... or something. Truthfully, I had no idea what I was looking for, and even if I got suckered into buying something I didn't need, it's probably worth it in the long run.

So here it is. Day One. Sad to say, even though I've been doing my workout regimen for about two weeks, I've actually gained weight, and am currently wavering around 235-240. I have no illusions that I'll drop 30 lbs. in 8 weeks like the non-typical results in the commercials, but if I can drop 12 lbs. every two months, it'll get me to 200 by the end of the year, which I'd be happy with. Of course, I'd be happier with 180, but I'd also be happier with Xenia Seeburg sitting on my face... we can't all get what we want.

What else am I looking to get outta this? Well I'm hoping I won't have to wear my pants unbuttonged around the house to be comfortable. I'm hoping I will no longer get winded tying my shoes. I'm hoping that this will somehow make my IBS a little more under control, and not inflame it. I'm hoping my keg will start to look like a six-pack. Basically I'm hoping the person I am now will no longer exist in 6 months...
