Hey y'all, how you doing?
I am actually doing pretty well. I have had a bit of a rough day or so. A very dear friend passed away and I have struggled with that. The usual thing for nights like this has always been to eat ice cream, fruit, crackers and butter, peanut butter sandwiches, potato chips. In other words ... junk food. Believe me, it would have been very possible to go back there. Not as easy as before, but possible. Heck, I even looked through foods I do eat now and thought, what would it hurt, I could mark them down as snacks and just go on. But I couldn't. Thank you to the coaches and staff at Southern Indiana Wellness for the training you have given me and for holding me accountable to you and myself. Tonight I chopped, sliced, diced, and packed up portions for meals to come. Now that is a change I could not have done without help. Even though Kate is doing the program and you are all watching out for me (and her) and there is great support from the Southern Indiana Wellness family. It still is an individual task and sometimes I just want to go crazy and eat and stuff myself with everything I shouldn't. I've been there before and caved in. But not now, there is to much at stake. My health, my life, my wife and family. Thanks for your prayers and kind words. They mean so much. Now, it is only a few days until we begin round 2 phase 2 fat burning stage and that is exciting. There is more resolve, more determination, and more understanding about what is being accomplished through our association with Southern Indiana Wellness. Thanks for allowing me to vent a bit and get my head and heart back in line. You can get the same kind of support and results, but you have to make the first step. Call Southern Indiana Wellness at 812-333-2440 and schedule a consult to learn just what you need to do. Believe me, it WILL change your life. God bless! Hey, the Big Guy here.
I can't believe the differences we have seen in the past 80 days. Well, I guess that is an untruth since I have lived those changes. Still, from 505.2 to 444.6 seems surreal. The loss of weight I have experienced before but the health changes are unprecedented for me. For example, blood sugars have dramatically dropped, blood pressures are where they should be, I've even had change in my eyesight (remarkable!) and my mobility is much better. My will to live and be productive - restored.... so much change. Listen, I thought these program people were just selling their product, but that has proven to NOT be the case. I figured they would do the 20 pound thing and say "We got you to the guaranteed loss, now bug off." Not true. I have told you everything along the way and will continue to do so. Several of you have signed on to the program because you know me and see the changes. That is fantastic because I want people to understand that better health is attainable with the right leaders and education. I try not to look at the food I "can't eat anymore" because I can eat them if I want ... I just now know what the consequences are and can make a rational decision as to what is important to me... My health and life or my wants and poor health. So, next Tuesday it is round 2 of phase 2... our fat burning, lose weight phase. It should be easier the second time around, and technically it probably will, but I still have guidelines to follow and goals to meet. So I need your prayers and encouragement and even to set me straight some of the time. All I ask in return is that you look at your situation. You are worth keeping here. God bless my friends and be healthy! |
