Quittin' time!

OK, this is what should be the beginning of Day 18. Yesterday I made the conscious and calculated decision to veer from the program. I still have a shit-ton of Whole Foods crap so I will be polishing off what's left for the next 3 days. Basically what it comes down to is, the restrictions began making me angry. I feel as though those negative emotions go against the whole principle of the program, so I have decided to step away slightly.

What do I mean by that? Well, I normally eat fairly healthy, so the fruits and veggies thing is not a big deal for me. I still plan on taking the rest of the supplements as well. The way I see it, they are purposeful no matter what your diet. The big change for me is allowing myself a meat or (in the Reset eyes) an "unhealthy" meal once in a while. I've also began drinking again, in moderation.

I never planned for the Reset to be a lifelong lifestyle change so you can't say "It didn't work" or "He couldn't stick to it." I could have stayed on for the extra 4 days, but I was miserable, so I ask myself "Why?" Now then, the end results: Do I feel more energetic? Yes. Am I generally in a better mood (other than my anger issues with not being able to eat meat)? Yes. Do I feel overall healthier? Yes. Mentally healthier? Yes.

I've also lost a lot of weight. So it is difficult to say whether my answers above are due to the program or the weight loss. Final numbers:

163lbs.
18.7% body fat
37.5" waist (around the bellybutton)

Blood test for cholesterol is scheduled in 2 days
