On the first day of the 22-Day Revolution, I got the flu. It's going around the city I live in. Most of my family got it during the holidays; I thought I'd avoided it, but it got me the last Sunday of the holiday break.

And, maybe it was a good thing. I'm not sure about everyone, but when I'm sick I have a hard time eating. I had some water. Maybe a smoothie. It lasted about two days. I made sure to only consume plant-based things, and when I felt better and weighed myself: surprise. I was down three pounds.

That was a nice little moral victory. A start.

My wife is doing the 22-Day Revolution with me and she also got the flu. She also lost weight.

I mention this, for more than any other reason, to say that my updates were temporarily thwarted by the flu. Tomorrow, the first real update will come, but days 1-5 were impacted by illness and loss of appetite.

But they also had some weight loss.
