Still Going Strong!

Here we are 1 month into the program and I am feeling great. With the lack of refined sugar and simple carbs the fat is melting away. There are no insulin spikes causing me to prowl for candy and other problematic foods. I have survived 2 tailgates and countless opportunities to eat the wrong things. I've stopped congratulating myself because these choices are now pretty much a given.

The program works because of the science and education. As it stands, the more information I get on what food does to the human body, the easier it will be come to make the right choices on what to put in my body. People ask me if I’m ever going to have a drink again. I tell them I don't know. What I do know is that I’m not going to make poor food & drink decisions today or tomorrow.

I am an addict. My addiction is sugar. I am actively taking control of my addiction and learning to live with the decisions I have made and continue to make. On this path my high numbers are going down and my low numbers are coming up. I do not have a weight goal. My goal is to maintain a healthy level of body fat and lean body mass. My clothes fit better, and I fit better into the seats at the Ralph. The positives are far more significant than my need for Halloween candy, chips, or frosty pint.

To Heavy T 6 months from now,

Remember what today feels like! Maintain your own structure and be sure all of your food & drink choices are intentional!

I'll see less of you then.

Heavy T.

A New Program

Transitions Lifestyle Systems -
      As the fight continues, we see our hero back in an all to familiar scenario.  The weight is back with a vengeance, and the consequences are even more dire.  We add into the mix a new player, Little Man.  His presence combined with a number of different factors has reignited the fires and turned back on the war machine.  Kare has worked hard to get her body back and looks fantastic! She and i will be shoulder to shoulder throughout the entire campaign.
      This is hardly my 1st attempt, but with the right attitude and the knowledge gained, this should be my last.  The emotional components are now gone.  The shame, the guilt, and  all that other happy horse shit only got into my way.  This is a commitment to me and my family with only one emotion, GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a daily commitment, and for the next 12 weeks I'm not even a little bit worried. my challenge will be to see what i can do, when I'm not being monitored by some outside authority.
      My numbers will drop my body will change and we will reinforce healthy eating habits for Little Man.  My hope is that we can build a strong foundation in him that will increase his chances for health & handsome.
     I am blessed to have so many people in my corner. Kare and Cates, you 2 are my inspiration. Coach get ready for your next poster child.  They say every journey begins with a single step, so consider this my foot down!

Lets Dance!
