Learning About "The Box"

I started my day with an EKG after leaving the gym and before heading in to the office.  The nice thing about this program is they do a complete overview of your stats.  Blood work, too.  I will see the doctor tomorrow for the results.  But first, tonight I start the program.  A two hour start class to teach us how to live in the box.

I'm surprised to see an acquaintance.  A colleague.  Someone I don't really know well.  But, we have a mutual friend that I love.  And, therefore, I am excited to have a partner in this. We quickly discover we're on different diet plans.  I'm on, what I call, the "all inclusive" plan.  That's when I eat ONLY their food.  Shakes, meals, bars.  She's doing one that also includes fruits and vegetables.... or as we call it the "spa treatment" plan.  In 13 weeks I will have the option to move over to the spa plan.  But, I wanted to go all in to start. 

We were met with food again.  Apparently, this is a common activity in the weekly classes.  They will let us try different meals or ways to make the food.  I like that.  I feel, already, that they are trying to teach us not just spout out rules.  And, I'm feeling good about getting in the box. 

Our classmates were somewhat entertaining... some animated, others dramatic, and some down right annoying.   There was one I was ready to vote off the island.  But, apparently that isn't part of the program.
