Week 1 - T minus 24 hours to launch

Recently I went out to eat with my dad. Being sort of a Daddy's girl we do this quite frequently. I had recently heard he had gone on a diet but I didn't realize how extremely until I saw him. He had started on a diet called Ideal Protein and had lost nearly 40 pounds in as little as 6 weeks.

I was dumbfounded. All my life my dad and I had been the odd balls in my family. Overweight or full figured as I like to call it. My siblings and my mom could eat donuts but if I even looked at a carb wrong I would gain ten pounds.

After an emotional conversation my dad could see that I was concerned about my health and offered to pay my introductory costs for the program. I could start as soon as next week.

The following blog will chronicle my journey through this new diet. I've never done anything like this and I'm nervous to get started but I am excited to have a support as great as my dad.

Here is a link to the website for this particular diet.

The blog will be set up on a weekly basis. And I will try to blog a couple times this first week to give you an idea of what I go through the first couple days. I'll be trying new foods, posting videos, pictures, and stats as I go! I hope that everyone is as excited as I am to start something new.
