Josh is a Big Loser – Week 1 & Power 90 Start

I have officially completed my first week of Josh is a Big Loser. Here’s a summary so far of my progress:
- Week 1: 176.0 lb
- Week 2: 173.5 lb
Stats from Week 1
- Weekly Loss: 2.5 lb
- Total Loss: 2.5 lb
- Total % Loss: 1.49%
This past week started out really well, but was complicated once Friday hit. I was in a good friend’s wedding, so we had an AWESOME rehearsal dinner Friday night, great food at the reception on Saturday night, and then my family had an Easter get-together on Sunday. I did pretty good at all three of them, but I think I could have done a little better if they hadn’t all hit in one weekend. I used those three things as my composite “cheat day.” Other than that, I did pretty well with my nutritional changes. This week will be stellar though. Which leads me to my next item.
Today also marks my official start of Power 90.

For the next 3 months, I’m going to be hitting it hard and following an actual plan (for both exercise and nutrition). I don’t do well without a plan in any area of my life. I need to know what I’m up against and how to approach it. I really think Power 90 is going to give me just that.
I did the “Fat Burning Express” workout that was sent with Power 90 three times this week, and I’m more sore than I’ve ever been since starting exercising. If that’s any inidcation of how this program is going to be, then I’m in for a world of hurt. But I can’t wait.
I’m also very blessed to have a wife who is willing to shop and eat healthy with me. She planned out our meals this week based on the Power 90 nutrition guide, and we’re going to eat great without having to have grilled chicken and green beans every night. Thanks to her, I know I will be significantly more successful with this. I have to say, she’s pretty amazing.
So here goes week 2 of Josh is a Big Loser!
