Damn You’re Fat
Now that is something no one wants to hear. It is bad enough that some of us have to look at ourselves in the mirror every day. I know that I am carrying around a few too many pounds lately. I go in spurts where I will reduce my calorie intake and start to make some progress but then fall right back into the routine that led me to get where I currently am. Something is going to have to change. I cannot continue to slowly but surely creep up the scale (ha, ha) until I am in need of a new wardrobe.
I recently went on Herballife. It was a weight loss plan that worked really well for me in the past. I lost about 30lbs when I went on Herballife the first time. For those not familiar with the milk shake for breakfast and a handful of pills, a shake for lunch with another handful of pills and a sensible dinner of anything you want to eat, it starts with a fanfare and ends up awful. I got to the point that I could not even stand the taste of the shakes and would gag every time I had to swallow the pills. Not exactly the kind of diet I am looking for. It is a temporary (here we go again) substitute for what I really need to do.
Everyone knows what they need to do but it is so difficult to do it. There are so many enticements that tempt both the soul and taste buds which makes adhering to a form of dietary discipline virtually impossible. I know that the extra weight I am carrying around is causing me to snore more, putting greater stress on my heart and makes by butt look big. The last item is not a bad thing for a tall white guy. But what I need to do is find a program I can live with that provides some flexibility, entices me to exercise and provides something other than a chalky drink and bitter pills.
I used to get up every morning at 4:00AM and exercise. It was relaxing and there was no one but me up to enjoy the solemnity of me dripping with sweat and slightly out of breath. What I found it that I was eating into my sleep time and after two months or so, I started getting sick. So I would stop until I got well enough to start again and the cycle would repeat in ever diminishing cycles. I would finally be sick from work for a week while my body caught up on sleep. By that time, I just wanted to keep from getting sick, so, I did token exercising until I stopped completely. I need to find some way to break that cycle and stay healthy before I outgrow everything I own and am forced to visit Omar the tent maker for my wardrobe needs.
My wife found something called Body for Life and my doctor recommended it. I started it last year in one of my short cycles and it seemed to work. I thing I will give it another whirl to see if it is something the entire family would benefit from. I get the exercise and they get a healthy diet that isn’t a powdery substance mixed into a watery shake along with a handful of vitamins and herbs.
