If you’re behind the game, here’s a link explaining The Great Write Off of 2009. You can find links and discussion to all posts by checking out the Twitter trending topic, #WriteOff09.

For Day 16 (is it really Day 16? It feels like it’s been nowhere near that long and and eternity all at the same time!), Dan talks about trying to cut out bread and pasta out of his diet this week.

He says:

So, what’s the result? While there aren’t likely any noticeable physical results yet (let’s face it, I am still fairly skinny), I’m feeling a LOT better. Salads and parfaits are surprisingly more satisfying than I remember, and I have more energy than I should, given that I’ve been up at 5:45 every day this week. I’ve also avoided the mid-afternoon lull…

So, yes, definitely too early to probably to see any physical difference but I’m glad Dan is feeling more upbeat and better. That’s always wonderful!

It’s funny, I was actually contemplating a write-up of my own about weight and my history of success and failures, so perhaps I will follow up with more of my own thoughts here, tomorrow.

In the meantime, Dan, keep it up and I hope to see a blog post in the future to see how much progress you’ve made in a few weeks and if you see any physical changes. I’m not a huge believer in cutting out carbs as a good way to lose weight, especially considering how much soccer I play but I’m curious to know how it goes. Good luck!
