Pulling a 180 on this one, as I think previously (maybe even in this thread) I've expressed some disinterest in this method.
I'm going to pull the plug and start this up next week. Looking for some options on sensibility (I'm not fostering any illusion that balls to the wall will be successful, given my life circumstances right now), along the lines of....
1) What's good to cut first?
As it stands, I eat nonfat yogurt, some chips (rare, as in once every few weeks), beer (OH GOD BEER), very low soda. Once every two or three weeks I'll hit up Buffalo Wild Wings with a few friends (but that's probably not going to change). My dinners need to get cleaned up, as my mother in law does lots of the cooking (she lives with us), and uses butter like it's fucking water.
2) Working out
I work out 2 - 3 times a week, pretty damn hard. Recently my basement has undergone some...cleaning, so that's changed to 1 - 2 times a week. Getting out to the gym is a challenge, as I have two young children, both of whom I'm responsible for in the morning.
3) Biggest unanticipated hurdles
I definitely want to hear some (and I'll read through the thread in detail, but feel free to share) any roadblocks that you didn't see coming. Success stories about overcoming a challenge are always good to read and learn from.
tl;dr: Want to hear what works, what doesn't, and get some tips on going at it. Much appreciated in advance.
