DEL.ICIO.USThe Scale Didn’t Even Twitch
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last week was a bummer for my program.
Seems everything that I like is either illegal, immoral or just plain fattening!!!
I followed all the steps. I drank lots of water, watched what I ate, and didn’t load up on carbs. In fact, when we went out to eat, the french fries, just sat on my plate. That about kills my 13 yr old stepson who thinks it’s evil to leave a french fry on a plate.
So yesterday I got on the scale and nothing… not a pound lost!!! That scale just laid there on 215 didn’t even twitch! How frustrating! The only saving grace in last week was that at least I didn’t gain anything.
Now, on the other hand, Christine, my beautiful wife, has been watching her weight and going to that ladies gym 3-4 nights per week. She’s lost 14 lbs. so far and is looking very sleek. I’m very proud of the work that she’s done so far.
My results will be better next week
Time to “cube-r-cise.” Exercise is the answer!
Stay tuned and
Semper Fi

(received via email) YOU ARE NOT 57! I have lost 16 pounds but have been at it since a little before Christmas…a little at a time and easy does it. I switched from oatmeal for breakfast to fruit, a banana and that really helped. Of course about 8 or 9 10 oz. glasses of flavored nicety teas helps a lot too. I eat meat only 3 times a week and then only a small portion and plenty of fresh veggies…..it is easy to behave because it cuts the cooking time to about zilch,,,a reason to eat that way! AB
