What did you do with the case of Red Bull? If I were you I would get rid of it, give all of it to your brother! And it's great to hear you're staying so headstrong!

It's still in my office, but I moved it to the floor for a psychological reminder that I am above it.  My brother is trying to cut Red Bull out of his day as well, so I might be stuck with it till I throw a party and buy a lot of Jagermeister.  For now, I will let it serve as a reminder that I am in control.

Great first challenge. Slaying the sugary drinks demon isn't easy, but it is completely worth it. Let us know how you are feeling, and when you feel you are over the hump. That will be a real signpost for you.

Today, I feel like I have gotten to the point of not caring about Red Bull any longer.  I don't feel a craving for it.  I don't want it.  I think I may be over that hump.  Thanks for the encouragement.

That is so fantastic! You rock! The hardest part is behind you, and it only took 5 days!

Thanks.  It was not an easy 5 days, but you're right, it only gets better from here.  Time to step it up.

Thanks for that. It's a week later and I am now feeling great. It was a tough few days with the energy drinks, but now I feel like I can take on the world and win. All goals met for the week. I'll weigh in after wifey is out of the shower and I have kids dressed. Today is my rest day and we're going to the Minnesota Children's Museum. A good day 7 and a fun finish to week 1.

Ohh, such a great way to celebrate a succesful first week! Have fun at the museum :)

Thanks, we had a blast.  They have a new Blue Man Group exhibit open and we didn't want to leave.  

Because after I posted my first Day 7 I stayed off the interwebs, here's my weigh in.  Sunday, September 22: 232.6 lbs.  Down 3.4 lbs from last week.  On the right track.

Wow, 3.4 pounds in one week! You go, that is crazy impressive. Holy crap. I imagine a lot of that was giving up the sugar loaded drinks which makes me feel guilty about the sprite I have in my lunch bag. Congrats!

Thanks.  That is what I am crediting for most of the loss, though I have cut my portion sizes considerably.

which is also a huge deal, everything I read said Americans have seriously skewed ideas about what portion size should be and eat more than they ought in that regard. Good for to you address that too, you're making great progress and I'm seriously impressed by your willpower.

You and me both (and everyone in my family who was at my nephew's birthday party yesterday...).  I don't know what it is, but I like it.

To give you an idea, before, I would have no problem eating a large thick crust pizza by myself.  Or two Chipotle burritos in one sitting.  I have done 3 before.  I was part of a 4 man team a few years back that took the second fastest time in a 36" pizza challenge and didn't flinch. I used to joke that salad was what my food eats.

I had pizza last night because that was the menu at my brothers house.  I only had 2 slices.  And a salad. My kids like eating vegetables and my son knows that I don't like olives.  He tells me to try one of his every time we have them in something.  I always try.  I still don't like them, but he is seeing me try.  I've been aiming to get healthier since May and I think that has made this challenge a little easier for me.

I like to take a logical approach to things like this.  Having a clear understanding of where I am going and what I need to do is helpful.

I LOVE that your kid is trying to get you to try things, and that you always humor him. That is beyond precious. I'm so glad your kids are helping you to eat healthier, that has got to be a proud dad moment. Plus by helping them develop healthy habits now you can possibly prevent them having to struggle through the fight to achieve healthy lifestyle changes later. You're for sure in the running for best-dad award

:redface-new: Thanks.  The kids always eat well.  I make it a point to not force my kids to eat anything that I am not willing to myself.  Something I've done from day 1.  By the way, not a fan of breast milk (TMI, I know, but that's the level of dedication I bring).

Hahahahahahaha I'm dying! In your denfense, I hear that most fathers have this experience, often not realizing what is going to happen. Your dedication is appreciated by them I'm sure.

A lot of them do it by accident.  I was a willing participant.

I always thought human breast milk would be awesome in coffee. I bet you could make a fortune selling that...

Having never been in this position I don't know how you would store it before it went bad, but I know a few guys who would probably buy it... just saying if ever you try to make bank on this
