Interesting things that have happened:
1. A goose almost attacked me.
Lake Springdale, where I walk about half the time because of how pretty it is, attracts geese and fisherman on the weekend mornings. On Saturday as I was lapping the lake I noticed a guy fishing with a male goose very nearby. I figured he was some kind of Goose Whisperer and didn't pay any mind to it. When I started getting closer the goose got up and started honking at me and fluffing itself up (defense mode), and wouldn't let me pass. I ended up sprinting past it real quick before it could attack me. The fisherman was laughing at me the whole time.
2. I saw a groundhog.
Thanks, Wikipedia.
It was at the same place as the geese. At first I thought it was some sort of weird beaver until I googled it. I didn't know we had any of those around here, and I'd never seen one in person before. So that was fun too.
3. Food tastes better.
A 1200 calorie diet means dropping pretty much all processed foods, including sugary food. Up until starting this diet I ate a lot of pasta, frappuccinos, and burritos (not at the same time usually). I haven't missed them at all, which I hadn't been expecting. I had figured it would be difficult to suddenly drop all these foods my body was used to, but it really wasn't. I guess my brain wasn't the only part of me ready to get healthy.
4. Buffalitos are under 700 calories.
Literally this exact one- Fayetteville, AR. (Thanks, Google!)
I love Buffalo Wild Wings. If I make sure to exercise, I can have some buffalitos and not have to change my calorie ration at all while still eating something normal and insanely delicious. My favorite sauces are the Spicy Garlic and Honey BBQ. Mom always gets Caribbean Jerk, Dad always gets Asian Zing. We're a spicy family. (My brother is a vegetarian; he gets chips and queso.)
So, final stats for the week:
Weight at start: 254 lbs
Current weight: 147 as of 3/8/12
Left to go: 97 lbs
