LOOKING FOR SKINNY ME ~ CHAPTER 1~

The party was over. His 42nd Birthday had come and gone and he knew deep down in his heart that it was time to loose the weight or get the hell off the scales. He’d started the South Beach Diet a couple of weeks ago, but the Friday of the first week was his ninth year anniversary; they went out and had a great dinner and a hell of a lot of margaritas. Then Thursday of the second week was his Birthday and I’m sure he doesn’t want anyone to know of the Hot Fudge Cake he had that day, or the cake and ice cream he had on Friday. However, in the back of his mind he was happy that he had kept up with his gym visits.
He had lost 2 and a half pounds his first week, but the long walk down his short hallway to his scales today, Monday October the 27th, to get his weight for his second week found him looking down over his belly at the same weight he was the week before…216.4. He hadn’t lost a pound for his second week on the diet.
After the third or tenth time resetting the scales and seeing the same numbers, pop up repeatedly, he knew it was time to get with the program.
“Well, at least I didn’t gain,” he said as he slid the scales back under the end table with a little more force than he had meant to.
He went to the kitchen and started a pot of coffee, then grabbed a bottle of water, and then he went in the living room, picked up the remote, turned to a workout station, and picked a 20-minute workout that was done by the woman from Biggest Loser, Julian Michaels.
“I know a 20-minute workout isn’t much, but its better then nothing,” he said as he opened his bottle of water, grabbed up a set of 10-pound weights, and hit play. “Anyway, how hard can this be,” he said as the workout started with some stupid looking arm flapping movement.
30-minutes later, yes 30-minutes not 20, and enough curse words to make a sailor blush, he found himself staggering from the living room blinded by rivers of sweat. He stubbed his toe on the box fan he didn’t see and with a few more curse words he stumbled into the shower to find that he could barely left his arms high enough to wash his hair and that his legs felt like lead.
After his shower and getting his lunch ready he noticed that he wasn't feeling all that bad and that he had a little more pep in his step from not letting the fact that he hadn’t lost any weight keep him from working out and getting refocused…now lets see what the rest of the week has in store.

22 October 2008

Hi everybody...this is my last entry at 41. Tomorrow I turn 42 and I wonder about the guy that hides under all this fat. Where will he be at 43 ???

I'm so excited about tomorrow and I've made up my mind it's my day and not the diets. I won't go hog wild but I need it to be about ME!!

This week I've gone beyond what I had in mind to do. I've hit the gym each day and I'm focused on my eating and I'm feeling better about myself...now let see what happens tomorrow.

Smallville.

P.S.

Bully: Hang in there and thanks for being my buddy :)

JulieC: You need those days out with friends ... that's what life is all about :)

Okay my first week is past and let me give one word of advise; DO NOT START A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAME ON THE WEEK OF YOUR 9TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY !!! Or if you do have something big coming up face it head on and think about the big picture...which is something I didn't do Friday night.

But for the things I did okay with.

1. I did get to the gym or at least did my workout at home five of the seven days.

2. I drank water.

3. I did lose 2 and a half pounds even though I did follow the yellow brick road as directed.

Now lets see what happens this week since my 42nd Birthday is Thursday :0 !!!!!

All my best,

Smallville...(but not as small as I would like)

Weigh-in: 216.8 lb

lost so far: 0 lb

still to go: 31.8 lb

Diet followed reasonably well

Well, I knew my days off would be a problem...not a big problem, but one just the same.

Because I work 6p-6a 3 days on and every other Saturday, I knew staying focused would be hard. I just need to keep in mind way I'm doing this.

Does anyone have any advise?
