Time to be brave! Here are my before stats! And a before picture that Spencer took! (on the right side of the picture is the feather duster that Spencer bought, and never uses!!)

We got our food today! So far the menu looks doable (I'll blog about the meals, so you can get an idea of what I've eaten for the day). The plan was pretty much what I expected:
1) eat small meals every few hours
2) cut back on starchy carbs
3) no sugar
4) no booze
5) watch the salt
6) watch the fat.

We're eating lots of veggies and chicken, some fruit, and some whole grains. So this is pretty much what I eat normally, but without the treats and booze here and there :)
We even got bread and cheese and pasta...HOWEVER...our meal plan emphasizes not eating carbs after 1:30pm (so can I just not eat them at all? or eat a slice of wheat bread instead of pasta, which I don't like anyway?)....and they have us eating weird things like pasta with peanut butter...so.....I'm already planning adjustments to the menu. I definitely have some questions for our guru/trainer, Mindy. P.S. when Spencer (my hubby) was helping me put away the food, he said, "this is practically the same stuff you bring home from the store!" So it's not too much of a stretch.
I'll write more about this later, but my dieting in the past has been largely based on restricting. I'd like to follow their plan, to prove it to myself that I can lose weight by eating more normally.
Tomorrow is the first day of our workout regime.... we have been told is going to be "dance based", which scares me!! I can only hope to stake out a good spot in the back, and not step on anyone! I definitely lack rhythm, and the ability to follow dance moves!! Also we will be seeing and using the product for the first time!
Incidentally, tomorrow is also the first day of my month long Fit Camp (from 9am-10am, M-W-F), which I signed up for before I found out about the infomercial...I have a feeling I'm going to be one sore cookie by the end of the week! And for the record the infomercial peeps told us to continue with our normal exercise routines...so I'm not cheating!
