Day 15 was probably the most exciting day of the diet so far. I lost 2 pounds on Day 15 and I did it without doing an apple day. Sure I lost more on Day 14, but that was because I ate apples all day. I can be proud of Day 15 because I followed the diet fairly well and still lost 2 pounds.

I did a ton of yardwork last night and that probably helped with the weight loss a lot. At the start of the diet it seemed like yard work and working out would make me gain weight, now it is the opposite and it is helping me lose a lot of weight fast.

I have found the best source of excercise for me lately is working in my yard. We just bought a new house, and the work we have to do is not maintenance type of yard work. We have to re-do our whole backyard, move stones around, weed a forest of weeds and plant all new trees and flowers. It is a lot of work and it is quite the workout. If I am going to do yard work though I might as well kill 2 birds with one stone and get in shape at the same time.

Another 2 pounds lost and I couldn’t be happier. I will be back on Monday to give a report on the weekend. My goal is to be below 220 on Monday, but we will see. Although it is only 2 pounds away, the weekends have been the hardest by far.

Current weight = 221

Total Weight Loss = 12 pounds
