My friend Stephanie called me on Monday morning and said, "Hey remember this book I told you about a few months ago, "Crack the Fat-Loss Code"...well a group of us are going to do what the book says, do you want in?" Hell yeah I want in...why not add to my collection of 20 some other books that claim to do the same thing. You know what I mean?
Thus Monday Morning Life was born. Why Monday morning? Come on now...you know we always say, "I'm going to start my diet on Monday".
Stay tuned because Stephanie our medical professional (yeah we know people) will be giving us guidelines from the book on the diet - oops that's lifestyle.
Yeah our quest to lose weight brought us together, but let's make this more than another diet dialogue, let's make this a lifestyle dialogue - supporting and informing each other on everything life.
I've got a feeling that this is it - the last time I'll add to my diet book collection. Oh wait maybe that was me remembering the Michael Jackson, "This is It" movie I saw Wednesday. When I say the boy is bad...the boy is bad...yall need to see him in action one more time. Go see the movie.

This week will probably be the hardest. The goal, deplete glycogen stores. Glycogen (found in our muscles) is our body's storage form of energy. The purpose is to try to divert our fuel burning to those stubborn fat stores that we can't usually get to. Some of us may need to eat a little more. Trust me..if we can keep the carbs down anyway near 20 grams, we will be doing great! After this week, the rest of the 8 don't appear to be that bad!
