Amazingly i’m doing ok in my quest for health. I lost 25 pounds already in this first 35 days. I still have a long way so i gotta feel determined to go on since the fear of health issues that made me start this diet so well already faded. I feel really good eating less and doing 45 mins od stationary bike everyday. Sometimes there’s a huge crave but it goes away. The changes in routine are the most scary thing now. I’m 100 percent then i go to a dinner in a client’s house. The food is all full of calories so i gotta eat less than usual. I get home starving and i try to remember: One day at a time. It will pass and tomorrow everything starts again. It makes one wonder how crazy is our relation with the fuel we need to survive. As i read in history men have starved for millions of years. Before the last 5 thousand years men were not very good in finding and keeping food so men starved and died of hunger. Probably that’s why we feel so helpless when we have to avoid food. It’s going against an old instinct forged in our DNA to keep us alive . Yes… It’s hard to go against your own nature. But not impossible. Of course the very developed food industry now creates the inverse situation. Food is too easy to find even when we don’t want to so we lost the measure of how much is healthy to consume. I hope some day there will be signs in Big Macs like those signs the put on cigarette boxes. ” Surgeon general warning: This burger may destroy your heart and may give you colon cancer” or ” Surgeon general warning: this milkshake can make you forget the name of your wife” or even ” Surgeon general warning: This chocolate may complicate your diabetes and make you loose your legs”
Glad you’re doing well with the weight loss.
Thanks Tilly!!! 🙂
Good for you. Congrats and keep pursuing it! 🙂
Hi Eliz!! Thank you!!! I will!! 🙂
Giulas, I laughed all through this —
but I also wanted to shake your hand and congratulate you.
You are doing great!
(one day at a time, one wry joke at a time)
Great!!! I’m glad you enjoyed 🙂 … Thank you…i’ll keep going a day at a time…lol
Congratulations. Sounds like you are doing great. My son’s dad stole my bike so I hve to go over there and get it today. Do not ask me how I am going to fit it in my car, but that is my excersize right there so I have to get it back. My grandmother’s boyfriend, Herm Pigula…he died back in 1997. He was a nice person, but he used to get diabetes and I think that he did have a toe or toes removed. So I know what you mean about the chocolate thing. Herm used to sit near the door to our camp in the summer time and listen to the Red Sox on his head phones while we (my cousins’ family and mine) were swimming and water skiing and sun bathing.
You should Jessica… Go get your bike back!!! Is it too far from your place??? because you could get home already on the bike. It would be nice as a first exercise… Of course if it’s less than 5 miles… more than that on a first time is not a good idea…
Congrats on a very impressive milestone!
25 pounds is an amazing number – you should be very proud of your efforts, sir!
I knew you could do it!
🙂
Thank you very much Sir. You are very kind. I’ll keep going because there’s a long way to go yet but thanks god it’s all going well!!!
Well done. Keep going. I’m off to work out!
Thanks Janet!! I seams as i’ll be around for a while… 🙂
Your surgeon general warnings made me laugh! Congratulations on your weight-loss regimen. It’s very difficult, but once you make it to your goal weight–you’ll never want to go back! With an extreme boot camp exercise regimen–my cholesterol went down 53 points in 3 months and i went down one dress-size. So every time I gain 2 pounds, which is a common fluctuation daily for many, I become vigilant about what goes in my mouth. Keep up the good work!
Thank you !!! I think the hardest part is to keep the weight loss for a long period… Stay vigilant!!! 🙂
I have not gotton the bike yet, because Ezra wanted to stay home and play with his girlfriend all day darn it!
That is how the tortoise beat the hare.
Actually, I have lost 7 lbs. this summer so I am not doing that bad either. I would love to lose 25 though! That would be a whole dress size, new styles… I would like that.
It’s good that you lost some!!! Keep up!!!
That is a major accomplishment losing 25 pounds in 35 days, keep up the good work. Our food industry is profit oriented and hence the cheap quality we consume.
True Walter!! Thank you my friend!!
Great! Slow and steady though. I know it is difficult. I absolutely have not been able to manage to loose any weight. As I have probably said before some of the meds I take make me so hungry! I had a fabulous milkshake at mcdonalds the other day that could have made me forget my husbands name! i wish you the best.
Thank you!!! And i wish someday you remember your husband’s name!!! lol… Even better if you do it because of an even better shake!!
I successfully got my bike back from Tyler, but it looks like Tyler got hit by a car or something. Tyler is alright. He has scrapes on his face. A pedal is off of my bike, but I have the pedal and my horn is missing.
Wow 😦
Surgeon general warning: this milkshake can make you forget the name of your wife- goog one giulas, I laughed out loud at that one!
Congrats on your amazing achievement- 25lbs in 35 days- that’s legend!
Thank you!!! lol… not legend but i’m working hard… Not started slowing down… The beginning is really faster…
