A New Format

The last day of 2007 brings change to Saphrym.com. Today I change the format of the Diet Diary posts in more way than one. First of all, since I skipped a diet entry yesterday I’m going to take advantage of that. From this point on the diet diary will consist of the exercise and food of the day before and the numbers of today.

Here’s why: Before, I’d give you my morning numbers of weight and blood sugar and then the stuff I ate and exercise I did throughout the rest of that day. The problem was, the numbers did not correlate with the food and exercise because those happened AFTER the numbers. So now, with the numbers being from the day of the post and the food and exercise from the day before then you will see how the food and exercise effected the numbers. I think it makes much more sense that way. It also makes it fit my schedule better because now I’ll be able to do these posts in the morning until waiting until after I’ve eaten every meal to do them. Since my daughter will be in school, this gives me more time to spend with her.

As for the other change, scroll down past the diet diary and you can see it for yourself. That’s right, it’s my first ever video diet diary. If this one gets enough good feedback, I’ll do more.

As for the 1/2 of Slim-Fast bars today, I wanted to cut back some on my sodium intake. That’s the only reason.

Hiya Saph,

I wish you much success in your weight loss endeavors. I hadn’t ever heard of the whey protein, so that’s interesting. Taking the vitamin every day is really important, so I’m glad to see you doing that. Good luck! I’ll be checking in on your progress, and hope to see lots of before, during and after pics of your progress.

Hi! Yeah, the whey protein actually started a new avalanche of pounds away form my body, so it’s good stuff. The more muscle you have, the more calories you have to use to do activities. That’s why the extremely muscular people don’t tend to gain much fat.
