Mike's progress

Well...

I had it, I lost it and now I have it back. It took until today to have my first day back eating smart. Let's not dwell on my failure to launch the past 2 weeks. I have only had one diet soda, and have the dull lack of caffeine headache to show for it. Then again, I don't have the bloated feeling that my usual 40-60oz of pop a day gives me. I got to work and threw out my candy that was in my desk drawer. The book Half Assed that helped me months ago start all of this is back at my bedside and I will begin reading it again tonight. Hopefully my daughter will see me saying no thanks to mac and cheese, cookies and chips and will do the same. Not making big goals or statements. I am simply taking it one meal at a time. I have crashed and burned after hours, days, weeks and months eating right. I know how easy it is to lose 30 pounds in 3 months only to gain it back in 1 month. I will never guarantee big weight loss...but I will guarantee that my focus will be on saving my life and leading my family to better health along the way.
