Good Morning, FS Warriors! Is euphoric higer than ecstatic? I am doing the happy dance this morning. 243 lbs., down 2 pounds from last Friday. Eleven pounds over the past two weeks. This substantiates last week's weight loss, and considering I am on my last day of steroids, I couldn't be happier. I feel that I am off to a good start now, and I am setting my intermediate weight loss goals at 2 or 3 pounds per week. I think I can do it, considering the torture I'm putting myself through. Just kidding, it isn't all that bad. I am at a much higer weight that I was accustomed to carrying, and I know when I am at this high a weight, the pounds are a lot easier to take off. I have no intention of getting to a 6 pack, and really, I don't want one - unless it's Bud Light. I know it looks cool on a guy, and I'll probably take some flack for this, but when you let your body fat get down to 6%, and especially when you're older, that doesn't leave you much to help endure much physical trauma that could come your way. I guess I'm Old School, but I think women look better with 10 to 15% body fat, and I feel and do fine with 15% body fat. Wish I was there now!
My Scenery DVD arrived yesterday, and I played it for my treadmill walk/run routine this morning. I like it. It's not virtual reality. It probably would be close if you had a panoramic TV set about a foot from your head, but most of us don't. It is a very steady view of the path ahead of you as you walk, jog or bike down various routes. This morning, I chose the tropical path. Natives walk along the path toward you, and dogs wander here and there, a motor scooter passed me along the trail. It was very serene and cool. The camera doesn't pan back and forth. You see what you would see if your were looking down the trail you are moving on. I stayed up too late last night, reviving my IPOD Shuttle, and loading it up with music. It's a pretty good little MP3 player for hardly being bigger than a quarter. So, to make a long story short, I stayed up too late, got up to late, but still got my workout in, jamming along at a whopping 4.5 mph.
Time for melancholy rhetoric. You know, you don't have to experience much of life to realize that none of us are immune from personal tragedy, illness and disease, and some of us have hundreds of reasons not to want to get up off the couch, lose weight and get in shape. Been there, bought the T-shirt. But what separates us FS Warriors, is we've learned that, in spite of the cards we have been dealt in life, life is better when you're healthier, and regardless of whether healthy means being able to go up and down stairs without pain, or run a marathon, it doesn't happen by accident, and we determine to get er done! So, that's all I have to say about that. Toodles!
