Scale

As I write this I have lost 15 pounds. Fifteen pounds! That’s the equivalent of 60 quarter pound cheeseburgers. Fifteen, 16 oz rib-eye steaks. Or, thirty, 8 oz cups of cottage cheese…..Yuck!  No matter how you cut it, fifteen pounds is a lot of extra weight.

“That’s great” you may be thinking.  However, I am far from reaching my goal. I plan on losing 70 lbs., for good. You must be wondering, “How did you let yourself gain 70 extra pounds?”  As best I can recall, it all started about 11 years ago. That’s when my wife and I quit smoking. Yes, I know, that sounds like a really lame excuse.  It’s right up there with “the dog ate my homework”.  But it’s true. For whatever reason I gained a tremendous amount of weight. For whatever reason?  I know the reason.  I began to eat everything in sight.  And then some!  It was a see-food diet! Now it’s time to pay the piper.

Do I regret quiting smoking? No way! I’d do it all over again. Absolutely! I feel wonderful!  I can breath again!  I have regained my sense of smell and taste. I don’t cough continuously anymore.  It’s great!  Except for the weight.

So, how do I plan on returning to the previous ME? The old fashion way. Hard work. Diet. Exercise. Diet in the sense of eating well balanced meals.  Not a starvation plan.  We are giving the Alli Weight Loss Aid a try.  My exercise plan is realistic and very doable. I am walking two miles a day for starters.  I plan on making these changes permanent.  A lifestyle.  I’ll let you know how I’m doing as I progress.  Are you struggling with your weight?  What are you doing about it?  I’d love to hear from you!
