50 Lb. milestone hit in two months!!

Wahooo! I went in to Kaiser to weigh in today, and I passed a huge milestone. I am down six pounds this week for a total of 52 lbs. in two months.

I am finally feeling confident that I am going to reach my ultimate goal and keep this weight off for the rest of my life.

There were a couple of weeks that I lost less than 5 lbs. so I went back to the mindset that I had when I first started the program, and the proof is in the pudding. Literally, I love the pudding. But seriously, I lost six pounds this week by drinking more water, sticking to a strict schedule of when I am supposed to eat, and I didn't miss any meals.

Trudy took some left over pork roast that we had and grilled it up with some peppers and lime juice last night, and it was a fantastic meal. Cucumbers with salt and lime in a bowl, and some broccoli and cauliflower for an appetiser. Great job.

If anyone is having trouble coming up with a healthy meal plan for their lean and green meals, give Trudy a call, she seems to be getting a handle on this whole healthy cooking concept.

I told myself when I started this program that if I hit 50 lbs. I would go off program and eat Chinese food to celebrate, but I have changed my mind, I have a whole lifetime ahead of me to eat the things that I want, after I get my body where I want it to be, so I am rewarding myself with sticking to being healthy. I guess that's why this is a lifestyle change and not a diet. On a diet, you are not allowed to eat Chinese, I am making a decision and choosing not to eat it.

If you want to join us on this amazing journey, don't hesitate, drop us a line.

Have a great week everyone,

Down 43 Lbs. Even with the Holiday parties.

So I think that I have attended about 8 Holiday parties within the last couple of weeks. I found that if there was coffee, I was not tempted to go off of the plan. There was one party where i had a couple beers. I could have been more prepaired and brought my own drink, but to be honest, I didn't mind having the beers.

The absolute hardest temptation was last weekend. I was dishing up a slice of pumpkin pie for my son, and there it was. The holy grail of Holiday deserts; A HOME MADE PEACAN PIE. I almost had to leave the party.

A quick chat with Trudy and I was over it.

Trudy has some great surviving the Holiday tip sheets if anyone is interested. I am down 43 Lbs. now. I had to go out and buy some new clothes. It is amazing what a difference I feel in my clothes.

About two weeks ago people really started noticing my weight loss. It seems now that everywhere I go people are telling me how great I look. Which amazes me because I still weigh 360 Lbs. It doesn't get old though. I loof forward to seeing my relatives that I usually only see once a year. They are mostly very fit people and they have always shown great concern for me.

My cousin Kathy just died this year. I think she was 35. She was heavy all of her life, and had many health issue including Diabetes. I miss her dearly. But she is part of many different thing that motivate me to continue to do my best and stick with it.

I am looking forward to the new year, we have several friends that are going to start the program after the first of the year. If you or anyone you know wants to join us, drop a line. 503-998-8021

Happy Holidays,
