Shaka Challenge - Week 1

February 24, 2008
By Steve Kajihiro

I started this challenge on February 15, 2008, weighing in at 269 lbs with my no-so high tech bathroom scale.  During the week, I ate mostly salads or whole wheat sandwiches for one or two meals a day.  But, had two parties this week for friends moving so I just couldn’t pass up or be rude. So, I decided to eat. On Friday’s party, I ate grilled Salmon, teri-beef, and spam with cabbage.  I ate little rice with my 4 pieces of salmon. 

Then on Sunday, I decided to weigh myself since it was a little or one week since I started this. Well this scale of mine was kind of off.  My first weigh in was 259 lbs. I couldn’t believe it so I tried again and again…it went like this:  259, 269, 255, 259.  So, I guess my unofficial weight is 260lbs, the average of the 4 weigh inns….LOL.  It cracks me up but at least, I know I’m losing weight. Since, the scale wouldn’t have ever registered in the 250 lbs before the Shaka Challenge.

After that, my friend was leaving for Texas so we had coffee and some cheese cake.  I couldn’t be rude so I ate my share of two or maybe three pieces.   I guess that’s plus 5 pounds for the cheesecake……so it’s 255 lbs now????

 Until next time…Aloha and a Big SHAKA to you all.
