Shore Leave

This week has been Week 16 and part of the two week period I call "Shore Leave". This week and next are two weeks I use to take a small break. I want to keep exercising/working out but allow myself indulges. 

There is one thing: don't go overboard. Don't gain weight. Have a potato or sweet dessert. Have a beer or fancy drink. Have a heavy sauced pasta dish. BUT NOT ALL IN THE SAME DAY!!!!!  Spread these things out over the week. You may realize that because your taste buds have reset those things are not as good. This past weekend I stopped at Danny's for Tator Wedges. Purchased a large, ate all but all I was thinking about was just how greasy they were. Yesterday I saw pancakes and sausage here on the hotel breakfast bar. All day I thought it would be great to roll up sausage in the pancake. I did it this morning but it was not as great as the I thought it would be. 

Choose your indulges wisely. 

Reminder:After week 17 then comes week 1 back on South Beach. 

Thinking about how to up my game for my workout. 

40lbs. Gone

6 mile workout running 5.25 

Doing perfect push-ups 100 daily goal. 

Feeling so much better 

BP is down taking half a pill

Yeah my me. Yes I think I have done good. Now next session to step it up a bit. 

Goal planning for next session. 

Change: A Dirty Word?

Change?
Why is that when we hear that word we have a panic attack?  Some even take to their sick bed instead of changing.
Change for long term weigh loss is a MUST.
Programs that mail you meals will only work as long as the meals arrive.  Shaking "Pixy" dust on your plate of food will only work till the stuff runs out.  All these programs/pills/drinks etc. say you don't have to change and you will lose weight.  Why do most of them recommend a healthy diet and exercise which is tucked in the bottom of the box or hidden on the website.

Change must happen for long term results.  Gastric surgery patients are told they must change their diet and lifestyle for long term results.  Long term weight loss is about change.  We must change from an unhealthy lifestyle to a healthy lifestyle. 

That's why I believe that you must change:

BODY

SOUL

MIND

Success can be seen in change.  Change for a better me and you.

The body must exercise.  Just do more movement than you did yesterday.  Then more the next day.  Set a goal.  Then the next thing you know you have your own workout regime.

The soul must be strengthened. You must read the Bible and have a prayer life.  My most spiritual times come while I am working out.  I think it is because I am able to let go of the things of life and concentrate on God.  I am able to hear his voice and be ministered to.

The mind must be renewed to the mind of Christ.  Read the word and meditate on the word of God.

To be successful you must change: Body, Soul and Mind.

Change brings results.

Start today. Draft a plan.  Start moving.  

Change is GOOD.
