for a while i have resisted writing.  not sure why.  nothing bad going on or coming up in my thoughts and feelings, just making things happen on a daily basis.  Tomorrow is our weigh-in, and you know i'll post about that!

we weighed in on Saturday morning before my training session.  Mark is down 26 pounds! and I am down 32 pounds.  All this in 5 weeks.  Other than the first 3 days it has not been the least bit difficult.  I still recommend www.drfuhrman.com to all of you who want to be healthier, whether you need to lose weight or not.

really.  day whatever.  meaning the days have run into each other and the new food plan has become our new way of life.  sure we talk about it constantly and we still have to plan in advance but it is becoming our way of life.  We had 31 friends over yesterday for a pool party and lunch.  We had "bear food" for everyone else and it was enjoyed by ( Read more... )

So, I just realized that my entire way of looking at life is changing.  I no longer can delude myself into thinking that life happens and i am just taken along on the ride.  I have the power to shape my life and to make it what I want it to be.  Powerful stuff to ponder.

Today is day one of my new eating for life plan.  I completed my 21 day juice fast last night.  I weighed in Saturday morning and hit the 25 pound mark.  It's amazing how this has changed my life for the better.  The weight loss is great, but the confidence I gained by completing my commitment was a wonderful boost.  Yesterday Mark and i shopped ( Read more... )

I can't imagine anything that I have done for myself in many years that compares to beginning this journey.  Day 19.  It's been an awful long time since I have gone 19 days without binging my brains out.  I feel accomplished today.  I committed to doing 21 days and I am almost there.  The next phase, the www.drfurman.com diet seems absolutely ( Read more... )
