Day 52 Weighing in.

Persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality, the other, a matter of time. I have achieved both in the past 2 months with a lifestyle change. I have come from a father worried about the longevity of his life to someone that knows He will be successful in dropping the weight that has figuratively as well as literally held him back in recent years. I work out daily and watch what I eat. I also find myself wondering how could I be sticking to this as easily as I am right now, and yet found it so hard in the past, either way I am very pleased with My results so far.

I did have a bit of a rough day, I was hungry all day and had stomach pains. I can't explain why or how that happened but it was to the point that I was just sitting on the couch feeling like "just give me a pizza" . of course I resisted. but I did want a Bacon pizza badly.

I lost a total of 8lbs this week bringing me down to 483
lbs total. you could say that I am overwhelmingly happy with what the scale had to say to me this morning. I could not be happier with this weeks drop.

This Kawasaki VN750 Vulcan weighs 483 lbs

  1. I love all of the quotes you come up with!!
    You have done more than AWESOME this week!! It makes me wish so badly that I had been able to stick with you on the plan this past week! Maybe I would have been happy with my results, too. I am so happy for you, and I know that if I can ever have as good of a week as you have had this past week, I'll be seeing big results, too! Way to go!! And remember that bacon pizza wouldn't have tasted nearly as good as seeing that 8 pound loss felt this morning, right?! Keep up the great work!

  5. I swear, I have been sitting here thinking, "wow, 8 pounds. 8 pounds. dang. 8 pounds!" That's like a "Biggest Loser" type weekly weight loss! You should give yourself a big pat on the back, and then give yourself a foot massage or something! That just baffles me. 8 pounds...

    Your cousin must be the coolest person in the world. ;)

    Hey, wouldn't that be nuts if we figured out one day that I AM your cousin?!!! Hahaha. I don't think I've got any relatives in Connecticut, though...

  6. Robyn, In the spirit of Biggest Loser, Tony is the Biggest Loser of the Week. She is right. 8 lbs is so great. Still havent bought the lecethin. It may be the missing key . If I am going to up my protein, to include egg's and meat, the lecethin actually is a really good idea. Hmmm..... another piece of the puzzle fits.
