Notes:   I did not exercise all week and just wanted my body to rest.  I still kept with no grains, no starches and mainly low sugars in food.  However, I did starting either Tues or Wed drink hot decaff green tea with honey.  One tablespoon of honey has 17g sugar and I would do this maybe 2-4 times a day, so my sugar totals for those days went through the roof compared to what I had been doing, which was normally well under 15g per day.

Additionally, on Thurs & Fri, I started taking cough drops and that has an artificial sugar called sucralose and I've had A LOT of cough drops.  I do believe that's the reason why I wasn't able to really shed any real bodyfat this week, in combination with no exercise.  Needless to say, my belly pooch is getting smaller.  I'm down 6" total in 5 weeks with that and being sick 2.5 weeks.

My clothes definitely feel looser and I can't wait to be over being sick.  I start Funk Robert's Beta 2.0 Spartacus workouts for 8 weeks on Monday (I think).  I still haven't received the total instructions of what is happening here, yet.
